I don't know about you guys, but for a while, I have been wearing a LOT of nudes & neutrals when it comes to my makeup. Most of the magazine ads I have seen lately tend to be full of models wearing the nudes as well. I know, you probably thing it gets boring for me, however, I generally use my lips as the canvas for color on my face. (Sometimes my cheeks.) But, I do make sure to wear some outlandish shade of lipcolor everyday so I still feel springy inside. This is why I am in LOVE with the
Pret-A-Papier. The color is coming out in the lipsticks (and a couple of the shadows). If you look at the face charts (below) you can see that the looks, for the most part, are nude/neutral.
Here are some beautiful looks for you guys to try! If you do, link me the pics or the video! I would LOVE to check them out!
**I know I generally don't post face charts and such, but I have them ALL. If you are interested in particular collections face charts and would like me to post them, just let me know! I will happily do so! I also have charts from many other brands that I just started accumulating. Is this something you guys would like to see on a regular basis? I work SO hard on getting these charts together and keeping them organized, I hate not to share if you guys would like them! Leave any comments on this topic in the comments below or you can email me, of course!**
