Last weekend at a children’s birthday party, which was held inside an art studio, I got to make pinch bowls with ceramic clay (I asked El Hub if he wished to recreate that scene with Patrick Swayze as well as Demi Moore from Ghost however he stated no). At the party, I bumped into a fellow makeup person (hey, Shakun!), as well as as our youngsters devoured birthday cake as well as buzzed around the room, naturally, the conversation drifted to the makeup we were wearing, since that’s what you do when you are a “makeup person,” instead of a common “makeup civilian” (yes, I’m officially coining that term best now).
Big surprise! — I was using neutrals on my lids as well as lips, however since it was a celebration as well as I felt like I needed to try a bit bit, I likewise drew some shimmery blue winged liner at the last minute utilizing two colors for an ombre effect. I utilized a light teal in the inner part of the lash line (Urban Decay Deep End) as well as a darker sapphire for the outer third as well as wing (LSD, likewise by UD).

Not one at that celebration — not even El Hub, who was the person who most likely spent the most time looking directly at my eyes that afternoon — discovered that I was using two shades of blue liner, except for Shakun.
BAM! best off the bat, she explained the ombre impact as well as asked what I used. funny exactly how it’s like that when you’re hanging with a makeup person, right?! They notice the details best away.
I complimented Shakun on her bright red matte lipstick, as well as she stated that she was using red lips since she didn’t have a great deal of time to get ready, however she still wished to look like she tried since it was a party. LOL!

That got me believing bout the things we do as “makeup people” when we want to look like we tried, however we’re still pressed for time.
I certainly have a go-to bag of techniques for these occasions, like vibrant liner, of course, which is so easy, as well as it’s even simpler if you leave out the winged part of it. Anything jewel-toned as well as shimmery, I like, however purples are what I reach for the most. as well as GLITTER! A glittery liquid liner, or a glittery eyeshadow top coat (Urban Decay diamond Dog!), always works wonders as well as doesn’t take a great deal of effort. And, of course, a bright hot pink or red lip. all of these things pop with barely any type of effort.
False lashes likewise up the ante, however at this point in my life I reserve them for special events as well as holidays like Halloween.
Thanks for being a fellow makeup person. since in some cases I truly requirement somebody much more interactive to speak with about these things than Tabs…
