This week I was inspired to create a classic eye look using three shadows. Typically, I wear one color across the lid and call it a day. I am always a tad reluctant to apply too many colors on my lids. My ample lid space can quickly become overwhelmed and start to resemble a finger painting gone awry. The general rule for using three colors, is to pick shades in the same color family with different levels of intensity (light, medium and dark). Enjoy!

THE VERDICT: If makeup could talk what would it say?
Makeup would tell you this simple and classic look can be worn anytime and anywhere. I have worn this look to weddings, school functions, to the park, and recently to see Spiderman on Broadway. Whatever you decide to do while sporting this chic look, I sincerely hope you will have the time of your life. As always, be well and stay safe.
