Neutral Smokey Eyes

I did this look for an evening out to celebrate my bestie, Meggie-poo's birthday.  I always seem to do just straight smokey eyes, so I thought I'd mix it up a bit and do something a little softer.  I paired the eyes with a more rosy pink lip, rather than the standard nude that I always seem to do with smokey eyes.  I quite like how this turned out.  I'll probably do a tutorial when I get the chance because it is such an easy look to do, and much more wearable for those who just aren't used to wearing a lot of makeup.

Brigitte Bardot-inspired Winged Liner

Her iconic winged liner has survived the test of time, spanning a few generations.  Winged liner is just awesome in my book.  It's a look all it's own, and it's a look that has endured over the decades as the sex-kitten look.

Simple Summer EOTD

Well per the usual, here in the Great Plains, we've had exactly two weeks of spring before being launched into summer.  Since summers here are notoriously hot and humid, I prefer to keep things simple...less to melt off, ya know?!  On to the look:

EOTD Smoke Signal

Yesterday I finally had a chance to use my MAC Smoke Signal pigment, recently found for me by a lovely friend.  I happen to love MAC pigments, and was thrilled to acquire this one, which I had previously missed.  For those of you who do not have this pigment, it is a gorgeous matte eggplant, and being a purple-fiend, totally up my alley.


I didn't want to do an über-smokey look, so I paired Smoke Signal with a taupe eyeshadow and nude lips.
