Make Over Your Makeup Routine
Sometimes I get sick of my boring beauty routine. After using the same makeup products over and over again, it becomes almost chore-like to create my daily look. This upsets me; makeup should be fun! So, I’ve come up with a few ways to make over my makeup routine any time it starts to feel dull.
Get the Vintage Look: Marilyn Monroe
When thinking of fashion icons, film actress and model Marilyn Monroe is one of the first women to come to mind.

Get the Vintage Look: Audrey Hepburn
Everywhere you turn, a different magazine, TV show or website is telling you how to “get the look.” While it’s fun to learn the beauty secrets of today’s beautiful, talented and elite, it gets a little tiresome to read about the same makeup tips from the same celebrities over and over again.

Fall Beauty Tips

Make Your Peepers Pop
One of the first eye makeup tips I learned was how to enhance my natural eye color with certain eyeshadow and liner shades. I will forever remember the sweet young woman at MAC who explained to my 12-year-old self that applying green eyeshadow and eyeliner to my green eyes would do nothing more than detract from their natural color. Since then, I’ve preached (and yammered and rambled) on and on to my friends about how important it is to use the correct eye makeup shades for their eye colors. Obviously it’s fun to stray every now and again to try something new and fabulous, but creating an every day look based on your eye color is the perfect way to achieve a stunning finish every time.
