EOTD: Orange Crush

Sometimes, I just love a monochromatic look for the eyes. But, being me, it still has to zing!

Hello lovelies! I'm back with another Face of the Day that I did a few days ago and absolutely loved wearing. It was the first time ever I wore black lipstick out in public and it wasn't half as scary as it sounds. Once again, my theory that confidence is the key to wearing any "extravagant" makeup look was confirmed.... Read more →
