Beauty Thesis

Glitter is something that can be challenging to work with. It can be diffcult to control, too much can look a hot mess and often times juvenile on those approching and beyond thirty years. Knowing all of this had me immediately skeptical when I saw a video by Natalya of Filthy Gorgeous Makeup, but she impressed me. So much so that I used her Glitter For Grown Ups as inspiration for a night out. Thank you Natalya for such a gorgeous look and making me feel like I can do more than just admire the glitters I have!

Glitter For Grown Folk: Close Up

I didn’t take a lot of photos as I was getting ready because I was in a bit of a time crunch, but I thought I’d add in this one since it gives a pretty good look at the crease.  And yes, I always leave my hair until the very end. ;]
