Make Up For Ever Purple Makeup Look

Posted on July 18, 2011 | 6 Comments
I thought I'd have some fun creating a really purple Make Up For Ever look. I used three MUFE eye shadows and a MUFE lipstick here, but as always you can just find similar colors in your own stash (though MUFE has some beautiful bold eye shadow colors). Since all the eye shadows I used were matte, I chose a lipstick with a pearly finish for a different effect. Read more...

I've always been a fan of Betsey Johnson -- whether she designs socks (see Episode 26) or raincoats (Episode 40), I love them all! I bought three pieces from her 2011 swimwear collection that has an adorable picnic theme: a cover-up dress, bikini top, and bikini bottom -- complete with bows and ruffles! I plan to wear the dress with the bikini bottom when I'm hanging out with friends by the pool, just getting my feet wet or sitting in the spa, and I'm wearing the bikini in Hawaii this week!
