Cutting it

I literally took this pic and then sneezed straight after :)

This seems to be my go to look minus the lippy when im going to work 
and cant be bothered to think of a concept whilst im on the train
(yes i am one of those women who would rather sleep in for an extra 30mins than wake up early to do her makeup - so sue me!)
Its an easy classic look, and i can always make it look more dramatic by adding more depth (usually by using a really good black or dark brown to define the crease) or dressing it down with softer variations and a nude lip.
I usually use the sleek au natural palette to achieve this
or the 28 neutral palette (ebay, BH cosmetics has one, coastal scents etc)
On my lips in this pic, i'm using the sleek pout paint in Rosette - these things are thebomb.com!
Hopefully sleek puts out a new range of colours as i love the concept of the pout paints -they
will probably be my next review
- sorry for the extensive closeup of my nostrils >.<

Till the next time
