Don’t misunderstand me.
I partake in doing my makeup ‘seasonally’ and I’m all for rocking bright hot pink lips and yellow shadows in the Summer time.
BUT…
What I don’t do, is avoid or discriminate against certain colors just because they don’t align with the current weather situation.
With me?

This look has become my go-to this month.
I’m always down with something calm and neutral.
Something that you can wear a n y w h e r e.
The office, a date, to run errands, school, an interview etc.
I can’t really think of any scenario in which the makeup wouldn’t work.
It’s super simple.
Very basic.
Very neutral.
Nothing crazy.
Yet still enough winged liner and highlight to let everyone know exactly what you’re capable of, haha. It’s just spot-on for whatever, really. And that’s one of my favorite mental portfolios of looks; “The Universal” one.
As always – adjust and tweak as you like, and to your needs.

Phoenix (or climate change; whichever your cup of tea..) yanked the Winter season from us a wee bit early this year and it’s just insane to say the least, lol.
Last week it was still pretty chilly and dropping into the low fifties at night but; here we are, the second week of February and it will be in the mid-to-high seventies for the rest of the week….and then will probably just ascend from there straight into Summer. WHAT?!
It’s left me confused, and the end result of that confusion is this dark chocolate Wintery smokey eye, with bright hot pink lips for Spring… Continue reading “Winter + Spring? Sure, Why Not.”
To speak openly,
I prefer to be buried in matte brown eye shadows….

I woke up the other day craving chocolate in the absolute worst way, but since I can’t really shove my face full of Ghirardelli at 6 in the morning, I decided I’d settle for “chocolate inspired” Winter makeup instead. Plus I had a brand new, unopened lipstick that I wanted to wear, which I knew would go along perfectly with the whole “chocolate” concept.
The logic made sense in the moment because, chocolate.

Happiest of Fridays to everyone.
I wanted to share with you guys my go-to holiday look this year.
It consists of:
Very neutral shadows, classic red lips, sharp winged liner, structured contour, and an insane amount of highlight, as per yoozsh.
I’ve been in kind of a makeup rut lately.
It happens.
But I recently came out, finally!
It’s been happening gradually over the last week or so but, sure enough, we’re back…

Well, we made it to Friday.
This week was a terribly long one.
Our dog has had diarrhea since Monday, poor little guy.
We “evaluated” our finances and tracked spending this month (shoot me).
We’re heading to Europe in 4 more days.
We’re incredibly short-staffed in my department at work.
I’m honestly amazed I found the time to even do makeup at all this week now that I’m thinking out loud.
GO ME!

Bronze Fall makeup.
I dug out my “On The Rocks” shadow by ColourPop Cosmetics and I forgot how perfect it is for this time of year. It’s so buttery and perfectly sparkly.
Keep on reading for the full product breakdown used to get this eye look.

This has been my main everyday neutral “go-to” look this fall.
It’s ridiculously simple.
It’s super toned down and soft (minus the liner).
It would look great on anyone and everyone.
I tend to still do a more “dramatic” cat kind of winged liner with this look sometimes, but that’s totally optional. Other times I do no liner, or smoked liner using a black shadow. Whatever tickles your fancy.
