I swear, in real life this eye makeup is not as orange as it looks in these pics…
I think the bright top (J. Crew, found at The Rack last fall) is throwing a monkey wrench in the mix.
Hmm… I should probably just be grateful I’m dressed in something that makes me appear to be a real, live grownup. It’s all about the little victories, you know? 😊
I was going for a springy pinkish brown for this look but ended up more summery orange… Oh, well! I like it.
I’m wearing several pieces from the new MAC Loud and Clear, and Glow Play, collections, which I’m still (clearly, ha ha ha) into. If you run across something you love, I’d suggest picking it up sooner rather than later because things are either selling out quickly or have already sold out.
One of my coworkers from the bakery is also a MAC gal, and she barely was able to get her hands on one of the lipsticks (Baroque the Internet), so don’t hesitate, MAC-aholics!
One more item of note about this look: I blended the blush I was wearing on my cheeks into my into my crease, an old trick to tie your lids and cheeks together in a neat little bow!

February 28th, 2020 at 9:58 amThis is a lovely look on you! I picked up this lipglass, which I think is my first gloss from Mac(!). I enjoy the formula. I was hoping for a bit more pigment, but it’s one of those lip colors I can swipe on no matter what else I’m wearing, so thumbs up!
Karen says
February 29th, 2020 at 10:04 amYes, Megan! So glad you like it. They’ve changed the formula a lot in the past few years… I think this one is the best one yet. Gotta love those “swipe on” glosses!

February 28th, 2020 at 10:35 amI love the pinks! I think you’re right about your top affecting the color in the pics but it looks very nice and summery. 🙂 I really like your gloss, though, like I always say, all lip colors look good on you!
PS Happy Friday! I hope your weekend is full of fun and sun.

February 29th, 2020 at 7:42 amIt has been ages since I picked up something from MAC. Back in the days I would buy every LE product, but over the last years I have stopped.
