Green With Envy

I find there are few things in life I enjoy more than spending time with lovely ladies and chit chatting while doing their makeup. I had such a blast playing with a pop of colour on a standard smokey eye, something that the lovely lady featured on this blog post is a bit fearful of. It's so nice to surprise them with something they never thought would be wearable and also look so stunning on them!

I was so nervous these pictures wouldn't turn out as lovely as they did as we lost the natural sunlight but I couldn't be happier! Hope this inspires you to add a little pop of colour into your normal makeup routine!

"You'll need coffee shops and sunsets and road trips

airplanes and passports and new songs and old songs

...but people more than anything else.

You will need other people

 and you will need to be that other person to someone else.

A living, breathing, screaming

invitation to believe in better things."
