Preppy Inspired Makeup Look

Lately I've been browsing through magazines and noticed that the makeup look I'm most drawn to is a very classic, preppy, Ralph Lauren type of look.  I wanted to try and re-create this look, so I put together a very classic plum-red lip with natural eye makeup and a plum toned blush.  I've noticed that the most natural looks are a blend of rose, plum, blush and sheer red lipstick tones, in combination with taupe, beige, tan and camel eyeshadows.  I think that Kate Middleton is the perfect example of this type of style and look.  Here is the look I created:

For this look I started with a neutral concealer and Arbonne pink-beige foundation.  I then combined the two shades in the Bobbi Brown blush duo 'Plum/French Pink'.  For the eyes, I used MAC Coquette eyeshadow on the lid and then used an angled blush to smudge in MAC Smut eyeshadow into the upper lash line.   I used a black mascara to finish off the natural yet classic eye look.  The defining feature of this look is the plum-red lip.  I combined MAC Soar lipliner (which I used to fill in the entire lip).  I then applied MAC Lady Bug over the Soar liner.  Voila - a chic, natural, yet classic 'Ralph Lauren/preppy chic' inspired look!!!
