The Cannes Film Festival is going on for the 66th time, and Carey Mulligan is all over the place promoting her new flick, The Great Gatsby. You might have heard of it. Her makeup was stunning and inspiration worthy.

You don’t need a million colors to make an impactful eye. I know some of the eye looks out there require about five different shades, but your average person who just needs to get her eye makeup on without a huge amount of fuss can cut a lot of those steps out and still get the same effect.
Pin ItOh, summer. I love you so much, and yet, you don’t always present me with opportunities to wear my makeup. In fact, there was a time, not so long ago, that I thought if I was going to the beach, I might as well leave my makeup at home. These days, I’m so much wiser – I’ve developed an arsenal of things that will work no matter where I am, or what I’m doing. And you can find me in some strange places in the summer, for certain.

I’m not talking about the current trend of taking everything out there and making it pink, then selling it to women at higher prices, I’m talking about unique and useful design. I want the product that is going to make me look good actually look good itself.

This super-simple look is extremely easy to master, and best of all, you really can use any color, not just black.

Not finding a truly natural perfume option in the marketplace that met my desires, I simply stopped buying perfumes.”

And if you have frizzy hair like mine and haven’t tried Living Proof, you’re missing out. Get thee to a Sephora and get some.

I’d like to be a girl who always has flawless lipstick, but I’m really more of a “prevent chappy lips and slather on balm” kind of girl. I often don’t have time to constantly be aware of my lipstick, unless I’m dedicated to really looking good. And this tinted balm is my new favorite.
