It Never Fails

Everybody needs a fail-proof, go-to look. Mine is neutral eyes and pink lips. Mostly, I use cool-toned taupes and grays, but sometimes I'll warm it up with gold and bronze. On the lips, I'll throw on a gloss or tinted balm. If I'm in a more fabulous mood, I can go all out with a bright, bold pink lipstick. It's so simple, yet so versatile. And when paired with my big natural hair, it just keeps me feeling most like myself! What's your go-to? Do you like a smoky eye look and nude or natural lips? Minimal eye makeup and a classic matte red lip? It doesn't matter which direction you tend to go in, as long as it makes you feel like a million bucks =)

What I'm wearing here for my go-to look:
-Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow in Birthday Suit all over the lid as a base
-MAC Naked Lunch on the center of the lid
-MAC Brun in the outer v
-MAC Era in the crease to blend out any harsh edges
-MAC Shroom as a brow and inner corner highlight
-MAC eye kohl in Teddy smudged along the lash line
-MAC lip liner in Dervish
-MAC Lipglass in Pink Nouveau

Disclaimer: I promise I didn't intend for all but one product to be MAC! lol

It was super wintry today--below-average temps, gusty winds, and snow flurries! Since I think about my makeup more than most people probably do, of course I had to match it to the weather. I paired gray, slightly smoky eyes with berry lips, and this particular NARS blush gave the perfect I've-been-playing-in-the-snow-all-day flush. A sweep of bronzer warmed things up just enough, and a lot of black eyeliner added some depth. Hi, my name is Meredith and I'm a sultry ice princess.
