Easy Fall Look

 

 

This is hands down my go-to fall look: simple eye with a deep red lip. The lid is only 3 different colors: 1 3 shades lighter than my skin tone,  matte brown,  and a matte black. The color lighter than my skin goes all over the lid, from lash line to brow bone. The brown goes in the crease and the black is just to add a tiny bit of depth to the outer v and line my eyes. That's it, super simple look which takes about 5-10 minutes tops!

 

 

Like I've said before, I love a simple eye with a bright lip. In this case, the color I'm using is combination of a blue-red and some black lipstick. This look is perfect for fall and can be recreated in a flash. Hope you try it out!

Busy busy gal

I have been crazy busy these past few days, if you could only see the major dark circles I've got going on! Thanks to concealer, you can't. :D Today, I didn't even wear falsies! For me, that rarely happens. I have very small lashes that seriously look like an awning! You know the things that go over a patio or building door to make a shade: awning. They even droop down the same way!  I can curl the living day lights out of them, but at the first sign of mascara, they become a thick, clumpy, droopy mess.

I know I am not alone here, there are other ladies out there with the same problem. For those of you with the same issue, here's a tip for if you don't want to or haven't worn false eyelashes: eye liner. Preferably a liquid liner with a brush tip, not felt tip. I love to use Urban Decay 24/7 liquid liner or a soft black from NYX. You just brush it lightly as if you were applying marcara and wait for it to dry. I will usually apply it before I start doing my shadow and concealer because it might splash on the top of your cheeks. When I'm done with my shadow and the lashes have dried, I curl them and apply a couple coats of mascara. Voilà, lashes!

Its just an extra little step which makes a huge difference... but I still love the drama of the false lashes! :) Here'e the look I did today without falsies. Super simple look, just a bit of pop with the silver liner. That's it, nothing to exciting, I was too tired today.

Saturday night, I was at the Bellevue Square Mall's Macys and got a sample of the new Urban Decay Naked foundation to try it out. It's a medium coverage foundation which is definately buildable. I mixed mine with my moisturizer because, luckly, I just need very light coverage. I'll keep trying it out and see if I want to get it. So far, I HATE THE SMELL!
