So Romantic

Like me, this look is fast & easy.

Glossy lids & matte lips oozes romanticism; pair it with loose curls & side-swept bangs and you're ready for some chocolate-covered strawberries on the beach. (I unfortunately did not get around to doing my hair..nor did I ever get chocolate-covered anything.)

eyes: clear lipgloss + aquaphor / lips: nars lipstick in first bite / cheeks: MAC cream blush in Lilicent
Steps are easy as:
+ Curl eyelashes & apply mascara - allow to dry & set
+ Apply Vaseline (I used Aquaphor) & clear lipgloss on upper lids (up to your crease) - any further & you risk looking like your eyeballs are sweaty
+ Matte lips is the key here - I chose a darker wine, but a matte pink would work as well
+ Apply cream blush to the apples of your cheeks.

End Result:
Voila! Now...who wants to sweep me off my feet? No one? You? No? How about you? Pass?

Le Sigh.

  3. I like when you do different looks, that I wouldn't even think of doing.

  6. Ahhh I totally used to do this all the time when I was a teen! I have a question though - how do you get glossy lids when trying to also mix in shadows or liner? Is that even possible?
