let there be LIGHT

It's so easy to get stuck in a makeup rut.  I am certainly guilty of wearing my favorite combo on days when just one cup 'o joe doesn't seem to be enough...  MAC Paint Pot Constructivist, MAC eyeshadows Satin Taupe/Antiqued, and MAC eye kohl Smolder.  Yup, this is my staple.  Although being a MAC girl, I have been known to shake things up a bit with a different smoky eye or a simple eye look paired with a bold lip.  A little known fact about me may be that I'm a sucker for a statement pink lip.

One of my favorite eye looks is called a "lightbox" and involves bringing "light" to the center of the eye... typically with a frost eyeshadow or a pigment.  And yes, I do this look with the MAC Paint Pot Constructivist ALOT.  I have no shame.  At all.

So here are a couple examples of the lightbox:
