Happy {dreary, rainy} Monday! I'm currently sitting by the fire in my leggings and oversized sweater because I feel that's the ONLY way to do these kind of Mondays. If you're stuck in the office, here's a little makeup fun to {hopefully} cure your Monday blues. A few weeks ago, I shared my everyday FACE routine in part one of my Makeup Monday. Today, I'm sharing my everyday eye makeup routine and a fun new lip color that I've been loving this season.
As always, I continue to ooh and ahh over my Painted Earth makeup, which is local here in Roswell. It feels so good on my face and never gets dry or greasy. I also love the fact that I know I'm putting all-natural ingredients on my skin and don't have to worry about all that icky stuff that gets put into makeup these days.
So now, let me introduce you to one of my new best friends that I met a few months ago :: The Baked Mineral Eyeshadow Trio in MULBERRY. I am swooning over the three colors in this palette because they make any eye color pop. I recently used it on a wedding party of 11 and all of their eyes picked up the tones totally differently.The trio makes eyeshadow application simple. Use it in three steps.1) Apply the lightest color all over your entire lid
2) Apply the medium color in and around the crease of your eye. Use it in an arch shape above your crease onto your upper lid so that you can see the color when your eye is in a normal resting state
3) Apply the darkest color in the crease of your lid to add definition and depth. You can use as much or as little as you want, depending on the look you're going for. I like to pull this color from the crease outward in a diagonal direction for a little extraNext comes my favorite eyeliner. I'm one of those people with slightly shaky hands so the liquid eyeliner doesn't work for me. I love the look of it, but can't keep enough control to apply it cleanly. Enter, The SuperWear Pen Eye Liner in Jet Black. It goes on like a felt-tip pen with the ultimate precision and smoothness. I like to pull it out past my eye slightly for a subtle cat eye.
If you like to add a bottom liner for extra boldness or to make your eyes pop more, the copper + gold eye pencil is perfect. It's currently sold out but will be back on the website soon. I'll let you know when it is.
The LashLuxe Mascara gives me the length I want without the clump that other mascaras have given me in the past. It's perfect in one swoop for daytime, or multiple layers {wait about 30 seconds in between each layer} for a night out.
And now for my favorite winter lip color. I love playing around with different lip colors and have found myself gravitating towards more plum and rose tones as of late. Maybe it's the cold weather or the ghostly paleness of my skin, but I'm loving all the plummy tones and this Luxury Lipstick in Plum Royale is no exception.
