Monroe

I'm feeling so much better today, yay!  So I have an outfit and the final makeup challenge look for you today.

Also, I've decided not to participate in Vegan MoFo this year any longer. I'm really bummed but being sick totally set me back and the thought of trying to catch it up is a bit too stressful.  Wah! But I do still want to include in on my blog in some way so my plan is to highlight a participating blogger each week :) So look for that!

Took advantage of the cool breeze and some cloud cover today to wear ankle boots and a sweater. If you've ever read a fashion magazine you know how easy it is to take a lightweight Summer dress into Fall. ;)

 (shoes gojane.com, sweater + dress Target, bracelet Glint & Gleam)

For vintage I decided to  be inspired by the only and only Marylin Monroe. I used this video which is really interesting. Lisa Aldridge is a makeup genius.

Here is the first look where I went a bit more costumey (hey, Halloween is coming!) with exaggerated lips and false eyelashes.

 

And then here is a more wearable version without the lashes and my own natural lip line. I also added a liquid eyeliner in brown.

Avon foundation (finally used this up! It looks fine in pictures but not the best in person)
