    I’m into brown smokey eyes, but I think a blue smokey eye would be better with this. Or a green one. Except I have no green eyeshadow, so I guess I’ll just have to go with blue 🙂

    *fingerscrossed!*

    This lipstick would look great with any color really since it’s so sheer looking yet has the perfect pink tint. I would say define the eye with neutral eyeshadows so you look natural. Or you could also do any color smoky and keep the lips pretty in pink!

    Hey, beautiful 🙂 How is Vegas treatin ya? Hopefully Lady Luck stays right by your side. I am addicted to LV! My Honey & I went three times this summer. The whole vibe of that city is so fun & quite refreshing. How long are you there for? I hope you’re rockin that lipstick from the D Squared collection. It looks gorgeous on you! I also wanted to thank you for that Skype idea! Thanks to you, I will be goin back go LV asap. The issue that has had me hesitating on the trip is the fact that my kitty just had kittens & I would need the constant reassurance that she is okay while I am away. Did you have to leave him in the room w the computer in it? Or does he wander to the computer once he hears your voice? Idk how I would be able to see her unless she just so happens to be sitting on the chair in front of the monitor. Sorry my comment is so long. Hope you have a great remainder of your Thursday night. I can’t wait to read all about your conference 🙂

    Oops! I just rambled on about Vegas & Skype so I completely forgot to mention what I would pair with the Nude Rose lipstick, in order to enter the contest 🙂 I am so excited to see you are giving one away because I have a strong belief that it would be *just* the perfect shade to pair with my usual eye makeup. I wear a bit of heavy mascara (decent with everything else on my eyes) & so I often pair it with neutral shades on my lips. This lipstick looks to have the perfect tint of pink, which is another shade I loooove to wear on my lips – but usually don’t in the daytime – because it may look a bit too much. Ahhh, I must admit I am so happy to see such a beautiful shade that fills both my nude color & pink lip addiction 🙂 Again, another long comment but I have sooo much to talk with you about! Sorry, thanks for taking the time to read these.

    Smoked out with black shadow with glittahhh, big big lashes, keep my face pale as it ever is with a little bit of pinky blush. No bronzer or anything. Elaborate feathered headdress. Blue sequined gown. Roaring audience. Something like that. Maybe just the smokey eye and the blush though.

    For a daytime look I think I’d go for a minimal/neutral look and a cute pink blush + nude rose so I just look glowy and pinky 🙂

    For a nighttime look I’d have a super dark, smoldering black smokey eye and then nude rose on the lips!

    Ahh just talking about it is already getting me so excited!

    This is a lovely neutral & sophisticated color and, knowing myself, I’d probably rock this at work (bright lips are not conducive for a law firm environment, sadly) – so, I’d probably go with my go-to neutrals (Jest, Wedge… maybe a little bit of Satin Taupe) and add some drama with more of an angular eyeliner shape (think Zoe Saldana a la Star Trek). Top it off with a bit of a pink-peach blush (Peachykeen or Pinch O’ Peach) and I’d be good to go!

    Heyy Karen!
    I’ve been reading your article like crazy for past few monthes.
    Just wanted to begin by telling you how wonderful your blog is to me in choosing the right color for my skin =]

    Anyways, i’ve read some of the comments on this and i really LOVE MAC i adore MAC and wihtout MAC i would not be so complete. (hah so dramatic)

    But, I’ve never seen nude rose in my life. I can see myself wearing this lipstick in smokey eye look, but i personally want to try something else with this magnificent lippy.

    I would wear a neutral eyeshadow with lots of shimmer for base, and smuge a bit of bluish grey/ sheer shimmery black around the edge of the crease (not around the head of the eyes)
    and draw a thick purple eyelines on top of the greyish shadows.
    For the bottom of the eyes, i would apply a thick coat of mascara and smudge a little glitter so my eyes would look bigger. As for the blush, i think just a tad bit of highlighter would be amazing. andddd for the final touch, Nude Roseee =]

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).
