Makeup
Road Test: The Best Makeup on PinterestWe tried the fall makeup trends everyone's pinning to help you figure out which looks are worth trying to mimic. Here are the ones to try |
My obsession with makeup started when I was 14. I spent hours in the bathroom mirror creating what I thought were mini masterpieces. Big whoop, what teenage gal doesn't play with makeup, right?
But mine weren't your average Wet n Wild experiments. No, I was known to spend entire weekends applying full-face looks -- from color-blocking eyeshadow to gothic smoky eyes -- just to wipe them off and start over again.
Skip ahead to see how I recreated these trendy Pinterest makeup looks.
So imagine my giddiness when my editor asked me to write this story. The assignment: Recreate a few gorgeous makeup looks on Pinterest to find out what's doable -- and what's too much hassle to even bother trying. Considering my formative years as a devotee to all things makeup, it took everything in me not to squeal a "hell yes." I pulled up Pinterest immediately and dove in to the smorgasbord of rainbow eyelids and fuchsia ombré pouts.
Let me be clear: I'm no professional makeup artist. But isn't that the point? If I can recreate some of these fabulous fall makeup trends, so can you.

The pins are superior to the woman featured. :( Disappointing.

I really appreciate seeing a woman of color recreate the look to fit her skin tone. It gives women of color inspiration to recreate "high-end" looks. I do wish her products were a little more budget friendly. I didn't care for every single look but it was nice to see her attempt the looks anyways.

Pretty makeup looks but definitely not going to go out and buy these products just to recreate these faces. I'll stick to the less expensive makeup brands!
