Hiding in the Shadow

While I think it’s clear I’m a big supporter of working your best feature and never shying away from a little risk in your look, sometimes hiding in the shadows can be just as fun. Life & Style Weekly features January Jones as their Beauty of the Week http://www.lifeandstylemag.com/2012/04/life-and-style-best-beauty-of-the-week-january-jones.html sporting winged out, wait for it, eye shadow rather than the typical liner. Now don’t get me wrong, I’ve written many a’ blogs about the beauty that is winged out liner however, this concept allows for a hint of smoke rather than the usual defined line. January Jones puts her own spin on it by swiping the shade of lavender underneath her eye as well.

            I looked to Giselle’s Wild Flower 8 Stack Eye Shadow http://www.facesbeautiful.com/product-p/753843300120.htm now listed for the amazing price of just $31. 50. The shades of purples and pinks in the collection are so complimentary to each other and perfect for achieving Jones’ look. Try to avoid the flashback to elementary school, it is in fact okay to combine purple and pink past the age of eight. I started with the lavender shade and topped it with the baby pink for the perfect color. Remember to leave the rest of the eye naked so it doesn’t end up looking like a smokey eye of pastels.

            Finally, finish the look with a berry shade of lipstick. I used Faces Beautiful Lipstick in Loveable http://www.facesbeautiful.com/product-p/facesbeautiful-lipstick.htm?1=1&CartID=0 to give my lips that kissable pout. Have fun trying the look!
