Good morning, Wednesday. I'm enjoying this lovely day and looking forward to a fun dinner tonight.
So as I get older (I did just have a bday), I struggle a bit with makeup. In terms of- is less more? Why does concealer feel so off brand as I get a few more wrinkles seemingly each day? Why does bright lipstick look so harsh? The truth is, less is more when it comes to my face- but it's not necessarily about using less products, it's just about having a look that feels more natural and less trend focused when it comes to my visage- and that means a good primer, tinted moisturizer, bronzer, smack of liquid liner, and mascara. Oh and always a brow. I can't give up a well toned brow.
But sometimes a girl wants to have a little fun when it comes to color- and although I worry about looking like Mimi from the Drew Carey Show, I do sometimes crave something a little less natural and a lot more fun.
So I discovered this great eyeshadow from a favorite brand discovery of mine, Surratt. Created by a top makeup artist, I find the line really fantastic and was so pleased when I found it in Barneys one day. Their eyeshadows are very pigmented and last a really long time on your lids- always a great thing. I'm loving this green shadow aptly called Envier for Summer- all you need is a well blended lid full of this gorgeous shade and your eye looks done, but not overly so. I like to use a bit of liquid liner (black or dark green or grey) on the outer lash line with some mascara to complete the look. I'm in love and think it's a fabulous way to have some fun without looking like a clown. I highly recommend this fun shade as a way to color these dog days with one of my all time favorite colors- green. Plus it looks good on my hazel/green eyes and would also look fab on brown eyes.
Cause that's what's up this green kind of Wednesday in the 718. Yours, in living color. XP
