It's been a hot minute since I've posted a face of the day makeup look. I really wanted to put my new Jesse's Girl eye dusts to the test. I'm OBSESSED with Kiwi Rose. It's such a cool color. If it was a food, I would eat it. Ok, maybe that's going a little too far.

For my makeup today I really wanted to incorporate some chartreuse green. It is one of my favorite eyeshadow colors to wear and I really think it looks especially great on people with green, blue or grey eyes.

Hey Kittens! It's been a while since I have posted a face of the day. Why? I have been super busy and my skin has been a little cranky so I wanted to give it a rest.

Since I finally found the Wet & Wild Color Icon holiday LE palettes, I wanted to play a little. I created a golden bronzed plum eye, tan-pink cheek and a golden pink lip. Enjoy!

Ever since I got a couple of MAC's new superslick liquid eyeliners I haven't been able to stop using them. I love the finish and the colors. Today's face is a simple bronzed complexion, neutral shadows with subtle pops of color brought in by liquid liner on top and pencil liner on the bottom. Enjoy kittens!

Yesterday was my birthday. I went out for drinks at the Hotel Indigo in Chelsea followed by dinner at The Standard Grill. I did a sculpted neutral look.

I'm continuing my birthday celebration by heading to the beach in Long Island and hopefully stuffing my face with some cupcakes from Billy's Bakery. Have a great weekend, kittens!

Terrible drivers license pictures can haunt you for YEARS. Today I had to get one taken so I decided to stay on the neutral side of things. I did a warm neutral eye with some simple liner, a warm rosy-tan cheek and light coral gloss. Not over the top, but still ME.

Tips for ID picture makeup: try to avoid:

• crazy colors or rock n roll smoked out eye
• overly-contoured
• bright blush
• blood red lips or anything that may come off to harsh or overly trendy
• trend makeup, refering to anything that is too seasonal or avant gaurde.

Remember, you want to look like yourself in your picture because you will have it for YEARS. In my very first drivers license pictures I had pink hair. Kind of adorable, but also EVERYONE who looked at it pointed it out. "YOU DON'T HAVE PINK HAIR ANYMORE!"  Um, Thanks Captain obvious.

Additionally, I took these pictures about 10 hours AFTER I applied my makeup and it still looks good. Behold the power of primer!
