Pencil Me In

{These are my top three picks with the gold being my favorite}

Women most often use brown or black eyeliner. It's easy, it is the standard. I think during high school and college pigmented mascara and eye shadows were all the rage. I haven't done that since, but I have always stood fast to my routine when applying eye makeup. I tend to only accent the top lashes and lids with the ever so regular black combination. Lately I have been trying some new ideas in an effort to step up my game a bit. Saying that I want to go back to high school or my college makeup days would be like saying I want to turn back time. I do not. I want to move forward and keep my look fresh and new. Going through the same old tired makeup routine for me was beginning to wear me out. I needed a change. So I began experimenting with other colors and combinations and here is the result. Eye opening. 

{On my right eye is Maybelline Master Drama in "Vibrant Violet" and on my left is MaryKay in "Tahitian Gold"}

This combination was really fun because I wanted to be able to use the blue eye shadow stick I love so much but in a more subtle fashion for every day.

{On my right eye is a combination of  Flower Liquid Eyeliner in black (the applicator makes the perfect winged effect) with Rimmel Scandaleyes in "Blamed Blue". On the the left eye is a very rich "Midnight Blue" by Cover Girl Perfect Point Plus}

I don't think the gold is available from MaryKay anymore but this version I will be giving to all my girlfriends as gifts!! 

PS. Lips are MAC "Hue" and mascara is Maybelline "The Falsies". If anyone knows a trick to keeping       the water line from vanishing I'd love your secret!!
