Make Up / Dress Up... The Smokey Cat Eye

Love this smokey eye makeup on Cara Delevingne. It's edgy without being too messy thanks to that sharp cat-eye eyeliner (I've heard this Stila liner is the best!).

Makeup: Anastasia Brow Gel, Stila Stay All Day Eyeliner, Bobbi Brown Bronze Shimmer Brick, Bite Nude Lipgloss
Outfit: Topshop Dress, Dara Ettinger Earrings, Vena Cava Booties

Make Up / Dress Up... Copper Lids

Now that we're getting a little closer to the holiday season, I think it's okay to bust out the metallics. Copper's a good transitional color that's
both festive and a neutral (kinda).
Make-Up: Illamasqua Liquid Metal Copper Eyeshadow, Buxom Mascara (I've recently become obsessed with Maybelline's Cat Eyes Mascara
as well), Lorac Bronzer/Blush, Nars Nude Lip Laquer.
Clothes: Madewell Shift Dress, Aubin + Wills Tights, Wedge Ankle Boots

Make Up / Dress Up... Burgundy Lipstick

I've been pretty obsessed with a dark wine colored lip lately. As my sister says "vamp is in right now".
The key to a perfect dark lip is as follows: make sure lips are smooth and have no flakes, line lips with liner that
matches your lipstick and fill in entire lip with liner, then add a coat of lipstick (a lip brush makes for a more
precise application).
Sometimes if I do not want the full matte, dark effect I will just go with lipstick and a tiny bit of clear (not too shiny)
balm on top.
This look pairs best with simple clothes and maybe a piece of cool jewelry.

Make up: Make Up Forever Waterproof Liner, Lipbrush, Nars Lipstick, Rosebud Salve.
Clothes: Ivory Blouse, Suede Shorts, LuLu Frost Snake earrings. 

Make Up / Dress Up... Plum Eyeshadow

Pretty plums and jewel tones inspire this look...
Make Up: A creamy peach lipstick by Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics, Benefit plum hued mascara, Bobbi Brown shimmering graphite gel eyeliner (I have this stuff in black and it is soo good!), and Nars nude and plum eyeshadow duo.
Clothes: Karen Miller lace applique top, J. Brand aubergine pants in corduroy to add to the luxe feel, and MIA teal scalloped ballet flats with which I have recently become mildly obsessed.
