Do you ever have the urge to silence someone? Nothing harmful or violent. Just an urge to take your sweet, gentle lady hand and place it firmly over someone’s mouth. You don’t do it. You’re a lady and ladies don’t smother people. Especially after a manicure. No no, instead you find yourself clenching your lady jaw and mentally retracting your outstretched hand to press it forcefully over your little lady lips.
You know, to keep the lady thoughts in. Good girl.
Except that’s really, really insane.
I’m not referring to silencing anyone specific (mostly) but rather haters in general. People hating people. It’s Judgey McJudgerson spouting off judgements while getting wildly offended if someone happens to judge them back. Again, insanity.
Lately I’ve been getting revved about the topic of vanity. The never ending debate of women wearing too much makeup or not enough. I was even tossing around the idea of doing a “less is more” makeup post because in some brief moment of psychosis I became self conscious about how much makeup I (!!!) was wearing until I realized what was happening. The hand. Mine. Pressed (figuratively) over MY lips.
SO I moved my symbolic hand and replaced it with purple lipstick and here we are.
Wear. More. Makeup.
And on that note, a super simple eye look to say “Hey, I’m wearing makeup that doesn’t look like my natural eyelid skin” and also “bite me”.
Too much makeup? Wrong.
Not enough makeup? Wrong.
Come at me, bro.
Anyone could pull off this eyeshadow since it’s two colors gently blended together and accented with a little glow. If I can do it and wear it to my office job, so can you. On the off chance that someone has a problem with it, you can just burn out their corneas with your fiery sunset lids.
1. Prime your lids with your favorite shadow primer. I used THIS from Too Faced and I’m pretty sure if was a free sample. A cheap primer would do ya just fine.
2. Press a warm orange shadow from lashline just into your crease. I used Millennial from THIS palette. *all shades are from the Stardust palette by Too Faced*
3. Apply the vibrant purple into the outer corner and into the crease. Using a clean fluffy blending brush, blend out any harsh edges and bring the two colors together.
4. Line the bottom lid with using the NYX Jumbo Eye Crayon in Yogurt and press the vibrant purple just under the outer corner of the bottom lash line.
Finish with Liner, Mascara, and don’t forget to highlight/conceal the under eye area to really make this look pop.
Story time. Tell me when someone made you feel judged and you told them precisely how to bite it.
I feel judged all the time. Probably because I am kind of a slacker. With nice hair. And a big butt. And a razor sharp wit….or at least half of one.
…or something
Welp, we can be friends then! I too am a sacker with (fake) blonde hair and my wit is better than a butter knife so… 😉 We ladies have to stick together!
Bloop *snaps fingers in z formation*
Damn right! I’ve been feeling attitudey lately and I’m loving it/keeping it haha
I definitely have the urge to put my finger over someone’s mouth. All. The. Time. I should probably go now, because I have some shushing to do.
Shush those who can’t shush themselves! Golly, that should be considered performing a public service and be followed up with some sort of commendation!
“Thank you for your service to our community, Ben. You are appreciated!” haha 🙂
I would do that, but then I would have to be considered as doing service for the community and what bitter person wants to be known as that guy?
Lol. True that!
I like to wear makeup, but not all the time. I feel judged when I don’t wear it and I leave the house thinking I look fine and then I get to my destination and people are like…were you in a hurry this morning?? And I’m like NO, I just wanted to watch the TODAY show and not do my makeup. My apologies, I can’t always be on point. 🙂
Then I feel super self conscious and want to hide in a hole the rest of the day. Lesson learned. Do makeup or be judged.
BUT…I like wearing makeup most of the time, why deny yourself something that can only improve yourself. 🙂
You look sooooo pretty in your pics. I like the sunset look!!
It is so true. As ladies we CANNOT WIN! I say wear the makeup or don’t and silence the haters! #chickpower <3
My lady jaw has been clenched a bunch of times hahaha sorry, couldn’t help myself. People are the worst, keep doing what you’re doing.
I have to admit, I felt like I was excluding the male gender with my rant and thought to myself, “gosh, I hope Paul knows that this includes him too!” lol 🙂 People ARE rude and I will continue to wake up and makeup!
I read your posts as if I’m the only one you’re talking to, so don’t worry about trying to include me. I feel included, regardless!
That’s the spirit, Paul! Next one will be directed solely to you my northern neighbor!
Wait, that’s a lot of pressure. I’m going to make a good effort. I don’t have the writing chops you do lol
Love it. Yes, Wear. More. Makeup! Great look, I’d like to try these colour combos for myself.
Hmm I can’t think of a time when someone made me feel judged… they already know I don’t tolerate that crap! 😛
Take no crap!!! I love it. Definitely try this color combo because it would be completely gorgeous on you! If you do, Instagram it so I can see!!!
I love this color combo!!!
