Editorial - Pale Cheeks

"Editorial" is a bit misleading for this look since it requires less makeup items and no special technique.
In fact, this is one of the looks I have worn many times except I am not wearing any blush on my cheeks this time.
Last week, I ended up looking ghostly pale and even a little goth because I did not have time to put on the "usual stuff" in the morning.
(No doubt I am a vain person but I still choose sleep over makeup.)

FOTD - Pale Cheeks

I am currently using the Dermalogica ChromaWhite products, and I think this regimen is working pretty well for me since I notice my skin tone is evened out and brighter after 3 weeks of use.
So I decided to skip the foundation in that morning and bravely left my place just wearing black eyeliner and dark wine-y lips.

I must say I felt self conscious all day yet liberated for some reason.

To think about it, there was a time I did not own any blush because all I needed was a lipstick and a mascara.

(Oh yes, and I only owned three lipsticks or something. Everyone remember that time? )

I think it is probably the strong color contrast, but I even fetched a couple of compliments which made me want to recreate the look (with more makeup, of course).
