Wake Up, Buttercup!

I'm not gonna lie, I have had many mornings wishing I hadn't consumed 24 a few cocktails on a work night. I'm usually waking up praying there is a snow storm, hail storm- actually ANY type of storm for work to be cancelled. That never happens. Ever.

So, I have to get up and use my secret tool to give me a glowing look that makes my eyes look like I've had more than a few hours of sleep.

Trust me, it works! Even if I had 10 hours of sleep, I still use it. It creates a dewy look and immediately brightens your whole face.

Please let me introduce to you...

Givenchy Mister Light $33

This item will always be found in my makeup bag. It's even great for covering blemishes!

How to use it? After foundation and powder are set, swipe the pen below each eye and blot with your finger to blend in.

 

ALSO...

 

I recently started using Mister Bright.

It's great to mix the Light with the Bright to create an iridescent glow under your eyes. You can also use alone on your cheek bones and above your eyebrow arches as a highlighter.

It's amazing.

Lady in Red

Okay, okay... I know in a previous post I mentioned that I can't sport red bold lips. Well turns out, I was wrong!
I have found the most GORGEOUS red from NARS. It can work for most skin tones since it's such a rich red and can be layered.
Turns out, it's the same red lipstick Ann Hathaway wore in her role as Catwoman. Never saw it, but Anne Hathaway is amazing so I thought I'd try it out!

Lipstick: NARS Trans Siberian $24

It's a semi matte finish. You can go mod or vintage glam with this color.
REMEMBER: If you do a red lip, skip the blush and opt for a matte bronzer instead. Also, keep the eyes simple. Think of it as not wearing a chunky necklace with chandelier earrings. Big no, no.

Lip Pencil: NARS Jungle Red $22

Two words: It's amazing. I always try to go a little lighter on the liner, it creates a more plump lip.
When doing a bold lipstick, I always recommend a liner, especially if it can stain the skin around your mouth. No one wants a Sangria mouth!


Go to a NARS beauty counter or Sephora and try it out -
I've learned the fun you can have with a trendy bold lip!

Enjoy!
