#HolidayGlam|#BeSeenInGreen

Any time I wear green shadow, I think of that scene in The Wiz where the people of Oz change their colors every other minute. "You've got to be SEEN in GREEN! I wouldn't be caught DEAD in RED!"

Random pop culture reference but roll with me.

Once upon a time, I worked for MAC and my manager said that I should embrace the ugly. My everyday look was always pretty and I should try and not make things look too perfect or too pretty.
I feel like with this look, I'm definitely embracing more of the ugly.

I promise no filter was used My camera takes pictures like this.

Most holiday looks call for sparkle and shine! I'm giving you loads of both! Let's get into how to achieve the look!

I started Cat Eyes and Cocktails as a way to have a fun atmosphere where I could do makeup, hang with cool girls and just have great vibes! I'm bringing it back for New Year's Eve! It is the ultimate glam holiday where every woman just wants to sparkle.

Makeup| Birds of a Feather

Vanity| FOTD: Wintry Purple

For my first day back from my European adventure, I chose a simple look in theory. Smokey eyes are the easiest look to accomplish if you want to look like you tried. I paired it with a pop of color or my lips to make the weather seem less bleak. The photos were taken on my way to work in natural light.

Face:
MAC Studio Fix Fluid in NC 50
Benefit Boi-ing Concealer #4 as a highlighter on nose, around brows and under eyes.
MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Deep Dark as an all-over powder.

Brows:
I use MAC pencil in Stud to create the outline of my brows and Benefit Brow Zings in Dark to fill them in.

Eyes:
Maybelline cream liner in black as a base. Black eyeshadow from the Urban Decay Naked Palette all over the lid. Maybelline cream liner on the water line and as a liner. Benefit They're Real Mascara

Cheeks:
Inglot Pressed Powder in 68 as a contour/blush

Lips
MAC Magenta Lip Pencil
OCC Lip Tar in Hoochie

Makeup|Fantasy

These looks have inspired me to up the drama factor in my life. The makeup company I work for is all about natural looks and so, my own personal makeup has been pretty boring lately. Makeup is all about the fantasy...the drama....using color and lines to create something never befor seen. These are awesome.
