They (who’s they?) always say, ‘If you’re doing a dark lip or heavy blush keep eyes light…’ or ‘Nude lips with smokey eye’.

I’ve been enamored (enamored, not in love!) by the image above after stumbling upon it in ELLE

Well, I gave it the ‘ol’ college try’… did I succeed?

I’m not sure. I opted for similar colors on cheeks and lips… maybe that’s the problem. And obviously I cheated on the bare eyes.

Look, me without eye makeup would drive all of you away. (Yes, it looks that bad!)

Oh well… back the ‘drawing board’! :)
