Cat Eye Flicks and Bright Lips (The Purple Edition): A Wednesday Makeup Formula
Question for you… How do you feel about formula dressing?
LOL! Pardon me for a moment, but I had to laugh there, because “formula dressing”? Sounds like something you put on a salad.
But I digress…
If you’ve flipped through the pages of a fashion magazine in the past decade, you may have read talk of having an “outfit formula,” something you can always turn to when you want to look sharp. Maybe it’s a white t-shirt, high-waisted jeans and a black blazer, or maybe it’s something else.
Once you figure out a formula that works for you, then you can tweak it ever-so-slightly (perhaps by replacing the black blazer with a black motorcycle jacket), but essentially, you go back to the same formula over and over because it works.
I’m a HUGE fan of translating this idea for the realm of makeup, and I do “makeup formulas” all the time.
I’m wearing one of mine in these pics — cat eye flicks and bright lips.
It’s quick and easy and gives you a lot of bang for your makeup buck, IMO. Also, crucially, it doesn’t make me think too hard, and I’m not reinventing any wheels, because I know that both of the main elements in the look work for me.
