Hi everyone! OK, so for this post I wanted to keep with the beauty related posts. BUT don't worry the randomness will continue. This picture has inspired me SO much and I wanted to share it with you guys today. It's so neutral that it can be used for an everyday look.

For this look:

Glowy base
Bronzer (optional)
Eyeliner (gel or liquid) *Wing it out dramatic or keep it small for more of a natural look
Nude or natural lip
Metallic eyeshadow (neutral)
