If you’re like me, you love a good before and after . Whether it’s weight loss, a makeover, decorating…I want to see it!
This morning, I thought I’d do my own before and after post. This required some planning and a little extra time. The things I do for a blog post.
Anyway, I have a little event coming up so I thought I’d try a new makeup and hairstyle before to see if I liked it. This morning I woke up looking like this:
Gorgeous, as usual.
Just so you know what I started out with, I washed and flat-ironed my hair on Sunday night. Last night, I took a shower before I went to bed, but I didn’t wash my hair (that’s where the frizz around my face came from). Basically, I was starting with dirty hair. Not greasy, just not fresh.
I recently bought some hot rollers ($10 at Ulta with a $5 off coupon!) and I wanted to try them out. I put them in when I first got them, but left them in for way too long and my hair was ginormous. This time, I planned to leave them in just long enough for me to do my makeup.
I did kind of a smoky eye look.
It looks a little brown in these pictures, but it was more of a very dark gray. I used a black liner, filled in my brows, added a touch of bronzer and blush. Oh and a little powder concealer under my eyes. I rarely, if ever, use foundation. The whole face didn’t take more than about 8 minutes.
Then I changed my shirt and added my lips for a true before and after reveal!
If I had more time this morning, I’d leave the rollers in for a bit longer, smooth out the top and maybe go a bit darker with eyes…depending on the event. Otherwise, I like it.
Bing, however, was not impressed.
And you’re right, Bing’s carpet does not match his curtains…embarrassing!
Are you working @ home today?
Yes, I’m trying to get Jack and Bing to appreciate my effort…they don’t care.
I totally need hot rollers. I never even thought to look for them at Ulta, I have tons of coupons for that store! Thanks for the tip, and great job on the smokey eye!
You look great!!!
What eye shadow is that? Love!
It’s always fun to see how others get ready! I love your extensions, btw.
you need to do a step by step on how to do a smoky eye. i just take a finger smear, rub it against my face like i have tourettes and call it good. thats how its done, right?
Your a brave soul to post pictures without makeup. I envy you.
No shame to my game…unfortunately.
Seriously you kill me!! I love your blog 🙂 I have been a little behind in case you noticed all of my comments!
