LOTD: Shiny Penny Eyes and Gilded Cheeks
I wasn’t going much of anywhere today, so I decided to try a couple of new products and do something rather simple (for me!). For my skin… Allover:

I was going to wear a very neutral-dominant outfit today, so I decided to go with an eye look that would pick up on the browns and beiges in my clothes. For my skin… Allover:
I was somewhat inspired by a YouTube tutorial that I watched while getting ready this morning, so I went for a bit of a burnished gold look that was very glowy. For my skin… Allover:
After all the shimmer yesterday, I really wanted to go all matte with my look today – tip to toe. So I did! For my skin… Allover:
I’ve come to find that this method of applying shadow (basically, in a soft gradient fading up from the lashline to the brow) is particularly flattering on my large, prominent eyes. I can definitely pull off this sort of smokey look without seeming like I was punched in the face, and it actually helps to […]
I was really feeling a purple eye today, with a bit of a smoked out feel to it. I even planned my outfit around the fact that I wanted to do purple makeup! Starting with my skin, I used my mixture of Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream in Fair and Smashbox Camera Ready CC Cream […]

I’ve been caught in a whirlwind of YouTube videos lately and have found a few that gave me some new ideas for ways to use my Naked2 Palette. The ones that draw me in all seem to be smokey eyes in some shape or form, but I’ll try to come up with some other eye […]
Today is such a beautiful summer day (at least in my book – very cool, light breeze, with sun is how I like my summers!), I simply had to do something bright and clean with my make-up. For skin, I went with my mixture of Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream in Fair and Smashbox Camera […]
