Saturday shenanigans?

G’morning and happy Saturday to ya. 🙂

I feel like I’ve been up since the dawn… of time. I set the alarm for 6:30 because I’m still trying to turn myself into a morning person. Depending on how much caffeine I’ve consumed prior to any given moment, it’s hard to tell how well the experiment’s working.

What are you up to today? No plans for me except for some puttering around, maybe laundry, maybe reading the September issue of Marie Claire and playing around with Obviously Orange Technakohl liner.

Any ideas for ways to wear an orange eyeliner? I’m stumped.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    Just hanging out today, trying to survive the hunger pangs from the first day of fasting for Ramadan! It’s a rainy day here on the East Coast, so just chilling at home. I’ve seen some leaves on the ground, a great sign for Fall, so that combined with this sorta chilly rainy day is getting me excited for Autumn!!

    Orange eyeliner is such a tough one!

    Maybe with yellow and green for a sort of tropical look? Or with a yellow and a few shades of orange to do like a sunset thing?

    I’m clutching at straws here, I really have no clue. I’m excited to see what you can come up with though!

    Have a great Saturday!

    Orange and deep plum or cranberry shadow (MAC perhaps)–late summer tropical drink and falling leaves/transition of seasons.

    Maybe just a clean lid and white liner contrast with a deep lip (like NARS new Fast Ride). Highlighter with no blush cheeks.

    (I have blue eyes, so that liner would probably only work on me if cheering the Denver Broncos or Chicago Bears on game day. ;\)

    Hey K,

    Not makeup related, but do you create all your site graphics? Cuz the photoshopped mac-surfing cracked me up. Also, I see illustrations on here that I dig, and am curious about the artist. You? Stock art? Curious!

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
