I thought I'd so something a little different with my makeup.. I never really wear any colors outside of my "comfort zone".. but after seeing Tanya Burr's makeup in her recent "Products I regret not buying" video.. I had to give some color a try.
Isn't her makeup gorgeous here? (click to view full size)

Because she went bold with the lips, she decided to keep it pretty natural on the eyes.
Since I wanted to wear a bold color on my lips.... I went with a very soft wash of color on my lids. I used a sheer taupe and a white eyeshadow all over my lid and lined my upper lid only.. and only applied mascara to my upper lashes.
I did something a little different with my bangs. Instead of flat ironing them, I blow dried them and swept them outward.. not sure If I liked the result.. It kind of looked like a comb over.. LOL Oh well.

I love your bangs like that - I can never get mine to cooperate that nicely!
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS AWESOME! I think the makeup and your hair look fantastic. You should try a bold lip more often. I think its so chic for the winter months.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I like the new swept to the side you did with your hair, it adds an intent of mysteriousness =)
ReplyDeleteI hope you can stop by my shop soon because I'd love to hear your inputs on what you think of it!
Thanks so much =)
Natalie you look BEAUTIFUL beyond words! ♥
ReplyDeleteI love the bright lip on you!
Can I just say that, you're skin is flawless!!
Love it! I just bought "Girl About Town" by MAC and loved it. Here's to more color this year!
ReplyDeleteThank you BabyGirlRina & Sammie! :)
ReplyDeleteKate Gene - LOL!! I bet it looks awesome on you.. It's probably easier for your skin tone to pull off brighter colors. This was actually the first time I wore Louisiana OUT. Right after I took these pictures.. (I've got my coat on & all) I left to pick up Rocky from Petsmart grooming. Not gona lie, it was only around 3PM and I felt very self conscious wearing such a bright color during the day time. But I broke the comfort zone a little and wore it out again when I went out that night and the day after (this fotd was a couple of days ago).
And I do too.. LOL.. I have a widow's peak like the Nanny.. I'm pretty sure I'll have bangs for the rest of my life.. haha!
Oh! and thank you hun :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous look on you. I loved it!

Nat what hair dye was used for this gorgeous hair color?! It looks amazing on you!
ReplyDeleteThank you! During this time I was using Clairol Brass Free Brunettes in Med Brown (Semi-permanent) and dying my hair around every 3 weeks. My hair looks pretty dark here, so I bet the color was very fresh in my hair.
DeleteThat lip color looks gorgeous on you! I've read that Mac Bombshell and Nyx Louisiana are dupes, do you think they're comparable? I love how Louisiana looks like on you. And I'm wondering if they look so different because of lipliner. Anyways the lip products you put together really compliment your look. :)
