Since I don't believe in day/night specific I obviously wore this all day. This is probably a little MUCH for your average girl; not to mention if you have a corporate job this look will not fly! haha! Luckly I work in a creative environment that gets a kick out of all my product testing.

I've been testing some of the makeup I got in London and I was freaking out over the Barry M dazzle dusts, specificly Burgundy Noir. I planned a whole look around it. I created a super smokey eye and topped it with the shimmery dazzle dust. Instructions on eyes and full list of products used after the jump.

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!

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!

Today's makeup is a smokey, fiery eye, tan cheeks and sheer red lips. I hadn't used my Urban Decay deluxe shadow in the color Heat in a long time, so I did a look using it. Maybe I just had fire on the brain because there was a CRAZY fire in an apartment building down the street from me last night. I know, that's terrible inspiration. Thankfully there were no serious injuries.
