Decades Day

Pin It
Today was Decades Day for Spirit Week. (aka pick something out of my wardrobe) I had fun channeling the 70's. American Hustle anyone?

Hello Again!

Pin It
 It's been a while- three years in fact -so why am I posting now? This has been something I have been thinking about starting back up and then on Saturday I had a makeover at Ulta with the brand Smashbox and I thought, I am never going to be able to recreate this look again. (Although I will try!) ps. the makeover was free - if this is something that sounds fun to you - just sign up at your local Ulta.


A few pointers worth noting to create this vintage inspired look:

  • the stylist layered up the concealer and foundation to erase the details of my face and then contoured details back in
  • My lips were covered with concealer and then a lip liner before applying the lipstick
  • Everything was neutral colors with no shimmer
  • Eyeliner was only applied to the top and the waterline (under the lashes on the top)
  • because this is a neutral look with the lips being the feature - no blush was applied 
  • I purchased the Raven eyeliner and the matte taupe brow pencil - however I have my eye on the contour kit
So whats on my face?!? Here is a list. These are all Smashbox products- which is a line made to photograph well.  (from their website : this brand focuses on long-lasting products designed to give a flawless look befitting of Hollywood stars)
