My girlie side

I’m definitely not one of those girls that’s known for my beauty skills or my fashion sense. The lovely Cat is known as a make up guru, and when I think fashion Jen is the first one that comes to me mind.

That being said despite my love of sports and the fact I pretty much live in workout attire I’m very much a girlie kind of girl.

I dress up for work each day, and live for make up. Especially MAC.

This weekend I had a Vegas themed wedding to attend. I wore an old dress that I bought at Rickis this time last year. Somehow I was busy taking pictures, so I didn’t get any pictures of me in my dress.

Usually I wear pretty neutral colors for the day but because this was an evening event AND Vegas themed I thought it was the perfect opportunity rock the smokey eye.

IMG_3597First I primed my lids using Paint in Base Light. Then I used MAC’s Crystal all over my lid. I was lucky enough to pick up one of the holiday pallettes this week, so I used shades from Sorceress to create the majority of my smokey eye. I lined my upper and lower inner lids with fluidline in Blacktrack. Curl my eyelashes and add two coats of Lancome Hypose Mascara, and I’m good to go!

I primed, added foundation, blush, and brushed on some mineral veil.

Because I went heavy with my eyes, I kept my lips neutral with just a smidge of gloss. My faaaavorite lip gloss ever is CO Bigelow’s Plum Mint.

I don’t always act it, but I’m very much a girlie girl. :)

I know nothing about applying makeup. I just slap it on and hope for the best. Usually I don't wear it at all. Sometimes when I get my eyebrows waxed, people think I'm wearing makeup, though, even if I'm not...and that's good enough for me.

You look nice. :o)

you look AMAZING.

I was thinking about the makeup thing this weekend as my daughter played dressup with my sisters stash.

I need to give it a shot and see if it looks any better on me than it did last time I tried...in highschool :)

I absolutely love the smoky eye look! I'm trying to learn make-up skills myself so you'll have to teach me. What foundation do you use? What are some of your other favorites besides MAC! And how in the world do you line upper lashes?! I tried this morning...disaster!
