Created Colorful

The makeup girlies have been telling me warm skin tones look good with a pop of cool added to their warm eye shadow…

Here’s my first attempt!

They tell me that since most eye shadows skew warmer than anyone’s skin actually is, that warm toned girls can look balanced in some neutral/cool shades of shadow.

Warm toned ladies, have you played with blending warm and cool?

What do you think? (This is an experiment/ongoing conversation. I’ve been doing color analysis for clothes for years, but makeup is something I’m learning and sharing about in real time)!

Sometimes you gotta get out of your head, into the streets, and WEAR THE THING!!!

In part 1, I played in my closet and threw together an outfit that made ME happy but was a bit outside the box.

I wasn’t sure if people would think it was stupid or extra, and was a teeny bit nervous,

but to grow in your style, you gotta JUST WEAR IT 💃

Since me and the UPS store guy always connect over fashion, I decided to drop off a package and see how I felt walking around in it.

GUESS WHAT?

The very first woman I saw, as I was walking in the store said “I like your outfit!”

I felt instantly validated, seen, my creativity respected. I don’t need everyone to like my outfit, but that first co-sign is always a game-changer,

Walked home feeling cool and excited to play in my closet again 🤌

As women we’re always pressured to doubt our intuition and to conform. To play small

But when you stand 10 toes down and wear the thing no one told you,
You are standing up for yourself in a way,
being authentic and embodied and brave,
and getting back in touch with who you are

What a bada$$ 🔥

Listen: I love studying style tips as much as the next girl, but to have a REAL breakthrough in your style, imposter syndrome, and confidence?

You gotta PLAY!! And risk! (And yes, flop)

My fave, most “me” outfits (and most complimented) were the ones I was a teensy bit nervous to go out the house in but did anyway.

Breaking outside the norm and established trends is vulnerable feeling. But so exhilarating and empowering when it lands 🤩 and you get braver either way!

I’m gonna do an errand in this outfit later to workshop it in the wild,

Core memory: living in NYC when the Knicks win the finals

Did we find the missing ingredient to yesterday’s warm-toned look?

After chatting with you guys, I added liner and a pop or a lighter shimmer to my lid for contrast.

I think it’s mirroring the boldness of my dark eyes better, what do you think?

Deep eyed girlies, do you ever play with contrast in your eye looks?

Does warm vs cool makeup make a difference?

I realized I haven’t tried cool toned eye shadow since my 2010 club hopping smoky eye era 🤣

After realizing I’m a Warm Autumn, I haven’t really looked back.

What do you guys think? Do you notice much of a difference on me?

How about on you?

I’ll be sharing one of my warm-toned makeup faves in stories in a sec.
