Hair/Makeup Challenge: Day One

Ok, so Irene and I decided to do a hair and makeup challenge for one week. The challenge? Do different hair and makeup each day of the week, no repeats. I've got to say, I'm in a hair and makeup rut. Give me black eyeliner, mascara and some bronzer and I'm happy. Also straightened hair is my go to. So this is really pushing me to get out of my comfort zone.

Here was my makeup inspiration for today, Natalie Portman with purple eyeshadow, pink cheeks and glossy light purple lips.

Hair inspiration, Blair from Gossip Girl.

My interpretation:


Purple eyes...
The eye was really rather simple. I put Stila Kitten all over the eye. MAC Beautiful Iris all over the lid. Nars Ondine in the crease and corner of the eye. Then I just lined the eye with Sephora liquid eyeliner in Noir. And of course, Great Lash mascara. Pretty easy.

I didn't like the side profile so you get the smiley face. That was how I did my hair on each side. I had trouble getting a good picture of it. Just straightened my hair and pinned the front back with bobby pins and tried to cover them with my hair. It was pretty easy.

Overall, I liked this look, I thought it was good for spring, bright and cheery.

Aw, thank you! Haha, I don't know, I think we're equal on applying makeup!

I'm also looking forward to this. It's kind of funny cause no one else here knows what I'm doing, so it's almost like a little secret that only I know about, ha.
