Okay, so Thanksgiving is coming up, and I wanted to try out some new looks. Not just for the dinner table, you know, but for the whole vibe of the day. I’m no makeup artist, but I do love playing around with different styles.
Getting Started
First, I gathered all my makeup. I mean everything. I dug through drawers and boxes, finding stuff I’d totally forgotten about. It was like a treasure hunt, but with more glitter.
The Experimentation Phase
Then, the fun began. I started with a basic look – foundation, concealer, the usual. Then I tried a few different eyeshadow palettes. I’ve got one with warm, autumn colors, which seemed perfect. I played around with browns, golds, and a little bit of deep red.
- First attempt: Too much gold. I looked like a disco ball. Oops.
- Second attempt: Better, but the red was too intense. I toned it down with some brown.
- Third attempt: Nailed it! A nice, warm smoky eye that wasn’t too over-the-top.
Next, I moved on to lips. I debated between a classic red and a more subtle nude. I tried both, and honestly, I liked them both! The red was bolder, more festive. The nude was more understated, letting the eyes do the talking.
The Finishing Touches
I added some blush – a peachy shade to keep things warm. And of course, mascara. Lots of mascara. I even considered false lashes, but I chickened out. Maybe next time.
The Final Verdict
After all that, I ended up with a few solid options. I think I’ll go with the warm smoky eye and the nude lip for Thanksgiving Day. It feels festive but still comfortable, you know? And I learned that I really need to clean my makeup brushes more often. They were… a little crusty.
It was a fun little experiment, even if I did make a mess. Now I’m all set for Thanksgiving, at least makeup-wise. Bring on the turkey!
