A Change of Face

My makeup routine has been the same since I was in high school, subdued eye colors and a nude lip. While I’ve always admired bright pink lips and electric blue eye shadow, I’ve always felt out of place when wearing these colors. As I find myself at the start of my senior year in college, I’ve begun to open up to new things, one of which is reinventing my everyday makeup look. While the eyeshadow colors I’ve been using lately seem to change on a daily basis, one new element remains the same these days, and that is a bright red lip. Perhaps my inner Marilyn Monroe or Mae West is starting to emerge or maybe I’m just feeling more comfortable in my skin, but these days nothing makes me happier than a red lip. While I’ve been satisfied with Sephora’s “The Red,” lipstick, I am absolutely in love with the bright red lip gloss from this month’s October Glam bag, by Mirenesse. This lip gloss stays on for hours, even through eating and drinking. To compliment this vixen look, the bag also came with an amazing liquid eyeliner that resembles a magic marker, a mascara, ocean inspired eye colors and a hair treatment.
