FOTD: soft, neutral eye

Hello all,


Just wanted to share a look I did last week. I had just gotten my paws on a coral Dior lippie during a training class, and was dying to try it out. I did a simple, soft shadow look so the eyes wouldn't overpower the lips. For those of you that follow me on Twitter, you've already seen at least one photo:

FOTD: classic smoky eye

Hi all,


There are two looks that I am most known for - bold brows and a traditional smoky eye. Generally, if I'm in a hurry and at a loss of what kind of look to rock, I'll don a smoky eye with no product on the bottom lash line, to keep it appropriate for day. Its the look I get the most compliments on!
