FOTD: Job hunting makeup & "OOTD"

I earned my California Cosmetology license three months ago, but I've been too chicken to apply to too many salons for fear of being rejected.  Last Friday I finally kicked myself in the butt and forced myself to print out my resume and pass them out at salons in the business district of the small town I live in.  I was going for a slightly dramatic, but neutral toned look.  The look turned out well considering I looked like a mermaid raccoon at one point (There was bright teal eyeshadow on one of the brushes I used that gave my lids a hint of green.  Then I tried to blend it out with some brown and ended up looking like a raccoon.).




Face:
-Laura Mercier Hydrating Primer
-Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Foundation in Bisque 4 (discontinued)
-Eve Pearl HD Dual Foundation in Light
-Laura Mercier Pressed Translucent Powder
-NARS Laguna Bronzer
-Illamasqua Blusher in Thrust

Eyes:
-MAC Painterly Paintpot
-MAC eyeshadow in Night Manoeuvres (LE)
-NARS eyeshadow duo in Dogon
-Too Faced Natural Eye Palette (Heaven and Silk Teddy)
-Yves Rocher Intense Eye Pencil in Vert Marine
-Urban Decay 24/7 Glide  On Shadow Pencil in Sin
-Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in Zero
-Inglot Gel Liner 77
-Cover Girl Waterproof Lash Blast Volume Mascara

Lips:
-YSL Golden Gloss #14

Meanwhile, I was joking with a friend that I was going to wear a toga while I drop off my resumes, and quickly snapped this picture to show him.  I was laughing because he thought I meant a real toga.


There you have it.  Toga, jeggings, and bright pink bra.  For the record I wore a peacoat style jacket over it so you couldn't tell I was wearing a toga.  I chose to dress entirely in black to look professional.  But I also tried to spice it up a little so that it looked somewhat fashionable.  I'm not too good with fashion so putting together feminine looking outfits is quite a feat for me.  

Well there you have it!  I hope you enjoyed my mermaid-raccoon-toga post!  I'll continue dropping off resumes in different areas so I may be doing more of these types of posts.  Those of you already in the industry, let me know if you have any tips and suggestions for me.  Thanks, guys!
