Cal Football Makeup EOTD

Posted on November 20, 2010 | 6 Comments
Today is the 113th Big Game where college rivals Cal and Stanford meet annually for a highly anticipated game of football. :) I'm going to the game, so I came up with a makeup look to match my school colors -- Yale Blue (a dark blue color defined as the color of light with a 482-nm wavelength... yes, very nerdy) and California Gold. The bear on my face is Oski, the official mascot of the University of California, Berkeley. Read more...

This is one of the easiest looks I like to do when I'm short on time but still want a little definition on my crease. I also like to wear this Eye of the Day when I wear bold red lipstick or a bright cheek color, because this eye is subtle and nicely balances out vibrant lips/cheeks. Also, since the eye shadows I used are matte, this would look even more flattering with a shimmery lip gloss on top of a bold lipstick. Read more...
