Have you seen the Golden Globes awards night? The actresses and their made-up looks are simply lovely. I especially love the nude look that most of the ladies donned that night. I wonder how made-up can look this amazing with very light shades of shimmering pinks, peaches and silvers and golds. This is the kind of make-up that I like personally especially when it comes to eye makeup. When it comes to beautifying the face with cosmetics, I feel that a simple shade on the lips does the trick for me but I also find enhancing the eyes a little bit helps too, especially with my chinky eyes. I want it plain and simple though, as simple as a shade or two.

I have never been into eye shadows and eye liners, until the latest fad asked for it and I started wearing them with just the basic palettes…with dark brown eye liner and sometimes black, and a little shimmer of gold or silver on a daily basis and if it’s a somewhat special occasion, I add a brush or two of black mascara. This is how I sometimes manage to change my look from day time office to evening meet up with friends, cocktails or a formal gig. That was back in the days. Now that I am a stay at home mom, I rarely put on make-up anymore. Bringing the kids to and from school and my daily breakfast or lunch over at Panera doesn’t necessarily require me to get that enhanced look anyway. So a simple lipstick alone really makes me feel made up as I step out of the house.
