I'm definitely on a roll when it comes to 'a-ha' moments! I've recently started to take the advice of some of my readers to try a more natural/minimal makeup look. I'm surprised as how much I really like it. However, it wasn't until I took this comparison photo that I can really see the difference. Now, that's not to say that the smokey/dramatic look doesn't have a place in my future. I just think that it's definitely a look reserved for evening or a special event. However, for everyday, I'm really preferring the 'le no makeup look'. I'm almost kicking myself a little for not really seeing the difference. I think I was so caught up with creating an alluring smokey eyed, dramatic look, that I failed to see the elegance of 'unmasking' the drama and using makeup to enhance my features in a 'Delicate' way. I think that Delicate is doing to my be my new makeup word/look - a delicate, soft elegance. In a way, this a-ha moment is linked with coming to terms with my soft autumn palette once again. Wearing shades that are soft, warm, Renoir-esque, has inspired me to create a different type of look. However, those of you who read my blog and comment, give me feedback - you have all inspired me as well, so Thank-you!!! :)
The first thing that's obvious right away is that I look much younger without makeup. Now that i'm getting older and am in my late 30's - that's a very good thing!!! I also feel that my face 'glows' with less makeup - although I haven't changed my concealer/tinted moisturizer routine. The liner on the lower lash line definitely closes in the eye as well! I still like the smokey look for a glam event, but even then, I think I'll try to create a look that is somewhere in between these two looks!!! I'm very inspired and happy to be creating some more natural-minimal makeup looks soon :)
