Now that the weather is finally cooling down, it feels a bit more like fall in San Diego and I can finally wear sweaters and drink hot cider. Most of all I feel like I can wear some of my favorite makeup looks without worrying about the heat melting it off! For this post, I wanted to share a classic look that goes wonderfully on everyone and can be worn with casual or formal outfits. My secret to making this look pop is not the red lip, but actually using dark brown eyeliner rather than black. I used to wear black liner all the time but I wanted something slightly less intense that brought out my eyes a bit more. Brown eyeliner brings out every eye color and creates a little bit more of a natural look than black eyeliner. I love using makeup to accentuate features rather than compete with them. Give this look a try and tell me what you guys think!
To create this look I used:
