Happy Monday! Talk about unexpected. I woke up this morning feeling extra spunky — and that was even before my first cup of coffee. It’s standard operating procedure for me to wake up on Mondays feeling grouchy, so to celebrate this minor miracle I decided to go big and bold with a full face inspired by the hot pink lip I wore a few days ago in this cosmopolitan-inspired lip look.

These lips stand out from a mile away, so I went with a soft pink and silver eye to add some semblance of balance to the look.

The first layer of eye makeup…

1. MAC Girl Friendly Paint Pot on the browbone and crease
2. MAC Shimma Paint on the lid and barely into the crease

The second layer of eye makeup…

1. MAC Medallion eyeshadow on the browbone
2. MAC Silverwear eyeshadow on the lid and barely into the crease
3. MAC Silver Fog pigment on the lower half of the lid
4. MAC Trophy Pink in the outer v and lightly into the outer crease
5. MAC Blacktrack Fluidline on the upper lash line and upper waterline

To finish the look…

Lashes

• Chanel Inimitable mascara in 10 Noir

Brows

• MAC Concrete eyeshadow

Dark circles (boo!)

• MAC Select Moisturecover Concealer in NW 25
• Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder #2

Face

• Laura Mercier Oil-Free Foundation in Suntan Beige
• Laura Mercier Translucent Powder
• Stila Bronzing Powder in Shade 02

Cheeks

• Redpoint Airbrush Effects Blushwhip in Vida

Lips

• MAC Pink Treat Cremestick Liner
• MAC Hollywood Nights lipstick
• Chanel Glossimer in Pink Crystal

I think false lashes would make a fun addition to this look. Next time I go to a party or out with the girls, I’m going to try it with some long falsies.

What kind of morning are you having? I hope Monday treats you well.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
