Who doesn’t love a smoky eye? Smoky eyes are trendy, seductive, and you can wear it during every season. From nudes to shimmering looks with a pop of color, the ways that you can create a bold smoky eye are endless. For this look, I pulled out one of my favorite lipsticks from my massive collection of lip products – MAC Cosmetics Matte Lipstick in Heroine. Heroine is one of my favorite lip colors. I remember when it was first released from MAC, it was continuously sold out in stores and online. The day when I finally purchased it, I snagged the last one in stock, and I felt on top of the world. To this day, I still love this color of lipstick. So, to pull the entire look together, I used purple hues in my eyes to help the lipstick pop. Creating smoky eyes can be rather tricky. If you are not used to creating smoky eyes, make sure you practice because the last thing you want to do is create a look that makes you look like a raccoon. Make sure you brighten your eyes with the proper concealers so your eyes won’t look flushed out. Lastly, if you want to add a little more drama, apply a little glitter and take up a notch and add a bold red lipstick.

Self-care is important. Today, I made it a priority to take care of me, Jennifer J. This past week has been stressful, between working my full-time job, managing my business, and other personal endeavors was enough. Saturday, I spent a day of enjoying Atlanta, but the pollen is something else!
