• Because I haven’t posted a look in ages
• Because apparently, I stopped wearing makeup when the sun came back for the year
• Because I really, really love the effect those lip liners give
• Because these photos are from February and I’ll be damned if they sit around on my computer for even just one more day

Products used

EYES: Ellis Faas and Marcelle liquid liners – I was testing the wear, and figured I wouldn’t look too terribly silly as long as they were both black! (The results: Marcelle’s is way easier to apply, and more comfortable to wear, but Ellis’ stays on like metal.) Oh, and the black side of the L’Oreal Double Extend Beauty Tubes mascara.

LIPS: Marcelle 2 in 1 Retractable Lip Liner in Natural, which is way, way less nude than it appears on the Marcelle site. (Swatches and review here!)

CHEEKS: Being the dolt that I am, I didn’t write down what I used on the cheeks. Judging by the photos and time of year, though, I’d say a blend of Senna Faded Rose blusher and Smashbox Smoke matte eyeshadow?

AND: a healthy dose of theBalm timeBalm, Marcelle loose powder, and photoshop ;)
