Having Fun With Mary Kay�

This season, Mary Kay is the Official Beauty Sponsor of Project Runway�! I've showcased looks featuring the line before, and today I'm here to share two looks created by Mary Kay Global Makeup Artist, Luis Casco, that will be featured on season 13.

Luis created "the graphic eye" and "emerald smoke," both of which at first sight were totally out of my comfort zone---but that's a good thing for me. It forces me to step out of my little box where neutrals rule and try some bolder looks.  You can check out marykay.com/projectrunway for video tutorials on both looks!


Mary Kay sent me the exact same products Luis used to create the two looks. I followed the video tutorials and I was pleasantly surprised with how much I liked the looks! The electric blue liner was fun for the weekend (and would be lovely for a date night!) Here is my "Graphic Eye" look:


The best part of doing this tutorial was that I have found a new love for two amazing products---Mary Kay� Mineral Eye Color in "Driftwood" and Mary Kay NouriShine Plus� Lip Gloss in "Au Naturel." These two products fit seamlessly into my everyday makeup routine--- the shadow is a beautiful color for the lower lashline (I've been using it daily instead of my usual shadow!) and the gloss is a beautiful neutral for an everyday lip that's perfect for the office. Though I can't promise I'll reach for the blue liner often, these two products are absolutely getting a permanent spot in my makeup drawer.

The second look, "Emerald Smoke," was a total depature for me and I actually ended up quite liking the way it turned out. I felt really polished with this look that's much more dramatic than what I'm used to. A bold lip is definitely a fun look to try. My earrings are from BaubleBar, by the way!
Which look is your favorite of the two? Let me know in the comments below for the chance to win a  $100 VISA Gift Card plus a collection of Mary Kay� products to create one of the looks featured + some beauty essentials.
