CLASSIC BEAUTY

So I've been packing around these makeup cards for quite some time now! (Probably 5 years)  I figured it was time to get them used up.  Now I wasn't sure how I was going to like it, but the end result was pretty good.

As you can see by the Picture they are Mary Kay Signature Makeup.  They pre-pick all the colors for you and apparently they are supposed to all work together to make you extra pretty!! The one thing I did notice is that as soon as I put the lipstick on, my eyes instantly popped!  YAY!

I think this is the kind of makeup you'd use for a first date or something.  Its pretty, but it has that sophisticated feel to it.  I know I feel pretty!  The odd thing is... I'm hardly wearing any mascara (and we all know what a mascara junkie I am).  I used this card yesterday to do my makeup (applying my normal amount of mascara) and I felt like the mascara took away from the look.  I think today I put just the right amount on! 

The colors they give you are:
SPUN SILK- Eye color Highlighter for application under the brow bone
CINNABAR- Eye color Accent for application of the eyelid and lower lashes
BRONZE SANDS- Cheek Color
CINNAMON TWIST- Lip Color

They say this pallet is recommended for Ivory and Beige skin tones.  I have no idea what my skin tone is.. haha!  I guess I should just quit buying random things and mixing them together!  But if I were to take an educated guess I would guess that I'm probably somewhere along the beige tones!

Anyways... Below are a few pictures of how things turned out!  Not too shabby, and then I decided to throw my glasses on for a picture, because sometimes I just like the look of them!  I think they make me look smarter than I really am!!
Oh... I also did a Mary Kay Lip Mask and used their lip balm to follow up with it, and thats why my lips look super soft and shiny!  love it!

natural tones flatter your eye color. I love treating my lips, I've been using Laura Gellars lip scrub. :)
