[Note: I wrote this up on Wednesday and was really tired and decided to finish it Thursday. I woke up on Thursday with this crazy cold that's going around. My mom and little brother are both sick with it and now I've got it. Crazy sore throat, stuffy nose and sinuses and headache. I also had my first day of work and I think lifting the boxes and sweating made the cold worse. So I've been taking care of myself. The worst of it is over and now back to the blog!! Unfortunately, I was too sick on Friday to care about makeup so that promised Fashion Friday is going to be next Friday instead. Sorry! I will leave a sneak peak tho as I had promised in this post that no one's even read. haha. I'm also working on today's look (Smoky Saturday) so that should be up today as well. So enjoy Working Wednesday for now!!]

It's Working Wednesday and you know what that means! Safe for work/school makeup looks. Today I used some Stila products to demonstrate this look. I got this Stila mini palette during last year's Black Friday sale at Sephora. It came with a mini Kitten lipglaze and it was only 12$! Talk about a deal! So of course I had to have it and I also bought one for my mom. She likes it. The palette is predominantly browns, it has a beige color that can be used as a base and a black color that can be used as a liner. I'm not sure if any of these colors are available as part of their permanent line, except for the black shadow, called Ebony. The Lipglaze in Kitten is part of their permanent collection.
I used more matte shades for this look to keep it more work appropriate. I was going to use my Stila Smudgestick in Oscar Fish (sparkly brown) but sadly, in ran out and I couldn't remember when I put the extra set I bought a while back that was part of their xmas collection (I mentioned this set of eyeliner in yesterday's post). I was in a rush so I just used my Urban Decay eyeliner instead. And now, the look:

Et voila! And here's that sneak peak of Fashion Friday that I promised you....
60's Mod!!!
I did one crazy fashion look on the left and one normal but still very mod on the right. You can't really see it, but on top of the black eyeliner, you wanna put a white eyeliner. To do that, you want to start out doing a thick line with white eyeliner and then go over it with black. Liquid liner works best for this sort of thing. You can also use any bright neon color you have. My influence for this look was Edie Sedgwick, obviously. If you don't know who that is, google her and her makeup and you'll be amazed.
Much love,
Steph xo.
P.S. Check the blog on Friday for the 60's Mod Makeup Look!!
And I'll be posting Smoky Saturday shortly.
