12 for 12: Makeup Revamp

I realized recently that my makeup routine was in a bit of a rut. 
Well, more like a 10 year rut. 
That's right, the last time I changed my makeup routine no one knew who Kim Kardashian was and Justin Beiber was still in diapers. Sigh...the good ol' days.

Anyway, I decided since I usually do heavy eye makeup and clear lipgloss that I would do the exact opposite: (almost) no eye makeup and bright lipstick.

Apologies for the awkward mirror pictures. I'm a bit technologically challenged and I have no idea how to use the self timer on our camera. Sometimes it's not easy being blonde.

The lipstick I'm wearing was actually REALLY orangeish and was not doing me any favors so I cooled the color off a bit with a berry colored lipgloss. Overall, I really liked the look. And it was super easy too. It literally took me less than three minutes to put my makeup too since all I'm wearing is foundation, mascara, and lipstick.
However, Brian and Shye were not fans. Brian hates lipstick with the passion of 10,000 burning suns and Shye just kept trying to grab my lips. Oh well, they are just going to have to get used to it. :)

Happy Monday!

  3. I think it looks great.

    When I dyed my hair black a couple of years ago, I decided I needed a good red lipstick to go along with it. That was such a fun change!
