My friend Elianne is a makeup guru. I recently stopped in on her unexpectedly recently (on a day when she planned to be home all day), and she was adorable in simple but flawless makeup, cat-eye liner and bright lip - plus a Pinterest-worthy side braid. I share this to explain why I trust her makeup recommendations. It was she who shared a tip with me to check out a LA-based makeup company called ColourPop, and because it was Elianne, I actually did. I bought a classic red long-lasting matte lip color (called Creeper, oddly enough), a cream bronzer and a charcoal gray eyeliner. I liked all of them! I use the bronzer daily (I chose the color Paradise Cove), the eyeliner regularly (when I wear gray eyeliner, lately I'm into brown) and the red when I want a bright, long-lasting matte lip color. The lip color lasts all day, and would last through a snack, but I remove all of it before eating an actual meal, as I don't want to eat my makeup... (Maybe you're a tidier eater) I would absolutely buy from them again!
This is not sponsored, I just thought I'd share Elianne's find with you all. The lip color I am wearing here is called Mars, and is also from ColourPop (a gift from my sweet friend Elianne). It's a complete departure for me, but I've been really liking it. It's a bit more unexpected than a classic red, but it add some spice to a simple outfit like this one. On days where I'm not up for trying too hard to look polished (and there were quite a few of those while we were moving), it's an easy shortcut to feel a little more finished.
