Beauty Inspiration: The Aviator

Ah rainy Sundays are meant for sipping coffee, lazy breakfasts and staying in watching films. I love grabbing inspiration from movies (who doesn't). While I was in Montreal this past summer I watched The Aviator on a similar day like today and remembered how much I fell in love with a particular  beauty look that Katherine Hepburn (Cate Blanchett) had. Surprisingly it was the glamourous 40's look that I completely fell in love with, it was the all natural, barely there makeup I loved the most.

Or maybe it is because lately I have been drawn to the "all natural" look. I'm all for glamour everyday, but this natural look I feel doesn't lose that feeling. Her hair is still done beautifully but just casual and her blouses still bring that 40's look. I especially love that in both scenes she is wearing a deep red colour, which really brings out her beautiful blue/green eyes and compliments her skin tone and hair perfectly. Her lip in the first couple of photos look more nude and the next more pink, both of which I have been drawn to for lip colours this season. Completely opposite from the reds and pinks I am used too, or even the deep berries that are brought out for Autumn.

Now to go fantasy shop for more makeup that I obviously am going to need. What are your favourite beauty looks for the season?

Archie s Day

So on this particular Saturday I was invited to go to the Archie s comic launch at MAC which I was super excited about because when I was at the m.a.c store earlier that week the makeup artists were saying I would love the Veronica range because they saw that I like bold lips and makeup. The morning of, however I decided to do something completely different and go for the Betty look instead. I wanted to try something outside of my comfort zone of black eyeliner and bold lips, and I was thinking going for a lighter makeup look would look nice in Spring and Summer.

FACE

I liked how the eyes looked with the soft gold shadow and really liked the peach cheeks, but I think I still prefer a bold lip. Im thinking the eye makeup is light and neutral enough to wear a bold bright lip like m.a.c's girl about town which I have been loving. I'll have to try it someday.

ARCHIE-SMILE

Any-hoo this is what I wore that day, I wanted to wear something light and spring like to go with the makeup and the artists loved it and even "Archie" came and complimented me haha. I did get to take a picture with him but didn't get the email with it. :( I think I wrote my email wrong, I seem to do that a lot uh oh.

MACERENA

Oh look silly hand dance. :) Have a wonderful Wednesday!
