Painting My Face

I took the day off yesterday and went shopping. Sometimes a wardrobe needs a make-over, right? So while I was working on finding new duds I stopped by the Trish McEvoy counter for a make-over on the ‘ole face. It was my lucky day because Brian Mainzinger was ready with the Spackle and brushes. He works for Trish in the Midwestern region and has real talent. He’s a lot of fun, too. We got to work on my new “American” look.

So what does this have to do with interior design? Not much, but read on anyway. Brian used a lavender/blue shadow on my eyelids paired with a dark plum/brown blended expertly in the crease and also as a liner. I loved the combination. I started thinking about how hot blue and brown are right now for interiors and fashion.

Color trends have been shared in fashion and interiors for a long time, but make-up? Is this something new or is it mere coincidence? Wasn’t the monochromatic, matte look big in both make-up and interiors in the 1990’s? Did we wear mauve and grey shadows in the 1980’s. I think so! Isn’t that kind of weird? “My face matches my living room!“
