For the past several weeks I have been experimenting with some items in my collection. As you can imagine, I have an extensive selection of products to choose from. For this Makeup of the Week: Twelfth Edition, I thought it would be interesting to see if some of my face products could perform double duty as my eye makeup. As a result, the overall look turned out better than I had imagined. The blushes, bronzers and face powders had exceptional longevity and gave my eyes the “glow” I usually reserve for my face. I hope you too will feel inspired to put your face products to work on your eyes. Enjoy my lovelies.

THE VERDICT: If makeup could talk what would it say?
Makeup would tell you to have fun with your makeup. Use your face products to their utmost abilities, after all you did pay a pretty penny to acquire them. If you don’t like the results, you can always start anew. What are your ultimate multi-tasking products? Be well and stay safe.
