One of my beauty BFFs and I recently got the chance to go shopping together. Anne from Beauty Xpose got a makeover at Chanel and, while I coveted her purchases, I held back. I decided to see if I could re-create her look without the heavy price tag.
Part of what I love about her look is something that no makeup can give me. Anne is a classic Italian beauty. Olive skin, thick, high brows, gorgeous dark eyes. My pale, Irish self can never actually recreate her look, but it didn't stop me from trying. While I didn't get the liner quite right and my crease isn't as perfect as hers, is the overall difference worth the extra $125? I should point out that Anne gives fierce face and I can't compete with that (although I tried and failed.)

The foundation is the only thing I would probably splurge on. Everything else looks very close to the same!
ReplyDeleteI actually like your look better. She is gorgeous, but too severe for me.
ReplyDeleteHi Anon! You are my new best friend!!
DeleteI always have to try samples of everything... although I would much rather go with the cheapest solution.. sometimes you get what you pay for.
ReplyDeleteAre you calling my face cheap, Mouth? :-P
ReplyDeleteFirst, I like the bombshell pout!!!! I like to mix and match. I splurge on foundies and scrimp on mascara, sometimes on lippies too.
ReplyDeleteAnne is very pretty don't get me wrong, but you are a wholesome, natural beauty. I personally would rather have your look, regardless of makeup.
