navy.

 

I saw this really pretty daytime eye make-up tutorial on Pinterest the other day and thought I would give it a shot Sunday morning.  What I ended up doing was taking twice as long to apply my make-up, and it didn’t look all that different (or anything like the tutorial for that matter).  In fact, I think my normal application looks better.


It was practically a pinstrocity…


Conclusions:

A. I am no make-up artist. (obviously)

B. If I want to “shake things up” in the make-up department, lipstick is a good choice.  Anything else requires more skill than I currently possess, and just ends up taking longer.


Also I feel like it’s important for you to know that when I was in New York a couple weeks ago, Zara made all my perfect navy pump dreams come true.  The only reason it’s important for you to know this is because I wanted to tell someone.


Do I dream of perfect navy pumps?  You bet I do.

Am I aware that this means I’m ridiculous?  You bet I am.


Dress: Gap. Cardi: Loft (similar here).  Bubble Necklace: Ebay (J Crew Version here). Shoes: ZARA.  Bag: Michael Kors. (similar here.)

    Gorgeous as always. I’m 21 weeks and I hope I look as good as you do down the road!

    I did my eye make up very carefully for a family picture a few months ago and. . . yeah it didn’t look any different then when I don’t even wear it.

    I love makeup artistry, but it takes tons of practice. I have a full set of professional brushes and that makes all the difference (and an obscene makeup collection, yikes) :) I found some makeup artists on youtube that are great: makeupbytiffanyd, makeupbyeman, pixiwoo, pixi2woo, etc. You can search to find whatever look you are going for :)
