So yesterday I worked out-(my workout wrap-up of excercises will be included in tomorrow's post.)
...and today I put on a full face of makeup. Now, to let you all know, I am an athletic girl. I am a natural girl, honestly most of the time I just throw my hair in a ponytail in the morning. My sister is really into makeup, and incredibly talented at putting together a great look. So today since I was incredibly bored I decided to do my makeup.
I had been discussing what I wanted to be for my last "college Halloween" with a friend, and I thought that a pinup girl would be a great idea. Pinup models always makeup seem to rock a flawless and classic look.
When I do my makeup I usually keep it pretty simple. I use a brown shimmery eye, a nude lip, and foundation, add a little mascara and I'm done. Though I will probably need a little practice on how to do pinup style makeup, I started with a little bit more than what I usually wear. Today I decided to do a light base, a dark shade on top, contoured with purple and dark brown. I then added mascara and a thin coat of eyeliner on my water line.My makeup guru aka my twin is actually jealous I can do this! My favorite part was my bright pink lip! I posted the pic on my personal instagram! (Feel free to follow me, I don't mind!)
I think that lip shade really makes a difference in a look. Some may say eyes, or bronser helps, but dang what woman doesn't look good in red lipstick?!. The makeup that I do buy (recommendations mostly from the twin) is from CVS, or Walmart.You can find great products without breaking the bank for sure.
Here are some lip colors that I love, or am willing to try:
Affordable:
Pin Up Peach-Maybeline
Cover Girl- Kiss 274 avai lable at Walmart
Lust:
Bare Minerals- Light it Up (website)
Chanel COCO Shine
For now I am going to keep experimenting with simple makeup ideas to get started, but am hoping I can rock a great pinup style for my last Halloween!
