beauty trend to try -- colored smoky eyes.


 
ATTAINABLE: Gap Fitted Boyfriend Teacup Print Shirt in Red (also in White)
www.gap.com; $54.95
I love an unconventional print, and this teacup one from Gap fits the bill perfectly.  I love the white-on-red, the easy fit, and that it looks fabulous with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows (a surefire way to keep it from looking too precious).  Paired with denim shorts come spring or super-skinny black pants and booties now, this is a fun twist on a classic piece. 

My go-to look for evening makeup is, without a doubt, the smoky eye.  Though I certainly don't claim to be an expert, I have managed to master the basic gray and deep brown versions, both of which add some major punch to a look.  However, as winter drags on and I find myself craving color in every aspect of my life, I find myself wanting to try adding a little extra pop of color to my nighttime makeup looks.  Swapping out my black liner for a rich hue and adding a jewel-toned shadow seems like it would add just the punch I'm craving.

I love eyeshadows but I never seem to have the time in the morning to entertain myself with them...browns though, my vote is for browns!
