Years of reading fashion and beauty magazines have trained my eye to admire a particularly polished kind of makeup look. Perfectly groomed brows, softly blended shadow and flawless skin have become the air-brushed norm, making anything outside of this set of standards seem strange. That's initially the word that came to mind when I flipped through this book at the library. I could actually see real skin, eye shadows appeared to need a bit more blending, and brows were perfectly wild. And after some time reading the artist's bio and learning her tips and techniques for different looks, I became intrigued and gave one try. Let me say one thing: never have I gotten more compliments on my eye makeup in one day. It was astounding... and flattering... and gave me the perfect opportunity to tout my latest beauty find. So of course I had to share it here too. Check out some of my favorite looks below...
