SOFT GRUNGE INSPIRED!!!!

This look is not for the faint of hearts, trust me, my mom almost had a heart attack when she saw me, it’s not the usual look that I would go for but I’m all about trying different things this year and I have to say it looks pretty well, it’s a grunge inspired look and it can be worn at night, or in the day [for those of us that don’t care] I love this look and I will be trying out more of this kind of look in the near future.

PRE BIRTHDAY INSPIRED; SOFT SMOKEY GLAM

This is a very straight forward look in my opinion, it’s a very simple and yet you can make it very glam with whatever lippie you pick like I have done here. This is basically the softest smoky eyes ever and I paired it with a hot orange lippie just to sort of make the look a bit glamorous, I created this look as sort of a pre birthday look.  Just testing out looks for my birthday, which is Friday. Yay!! 

 

This look is going to be one of my favorite looks because I love the way it turned out, so intense and yet so soft, the lippie is so dope! Am shocked that I’ve not been wearing it more often, but that will be rectified now!  I see myself wearing it to class, or to a wedding or for a casual outing, just about anything. It works so well for me, it’s like a fusion of vintage and modern goodness slapped on my lips.

Anyway, I hope this serves as some sort of inspiration, you can go soft and still look glammed up, this look is perfect for any weather and possibly any occasion, casual or not.

NOTE; some colors do not appear as they are because of the camera mode. 

Enjoy.
