Standing in front of my mirror in my bathroom, I looked at my make up with a new appreciation today. Suddenly, my options extended beyond the "day appropriate" choices of my liquid eye liner, lashblast mascara, and neutral color palette and now included those color hues, glittery shadows, and dramatic lashes that would look odd in a work setting but fabulous on a runway, or in my case-a halloween party.
My face was the canvas and my make up was the paint while I experimented with dramatic cat eyes, metallic shadows, ruby lips and dark shadows that would add a flair to my costume choice this year of little red riding hood. My friend, who wears minimal make up, soon got inspired by make up trials, and began to play with her make up. Together we both broke our usual make up routines and dared to try colors and styles that we had written off in the past. The result? Sultry eyes, broken inhibitions, and a new understanding of what make up looks best on us for all days.
The moral of this story? Enjoy your Halloween, fashionistas, and remember that this holiday is one to turn away from the ordinary and try a hand at the extrodinary. Try show stopping eyes to match that smoldering costume and perhaps you will find an inspiration in this once a year look that you can use in your day to day life.
