My Beauty Life

I'm a subdued black eyeliner kind of girl. It's classic, stylish, and easy to do. But once in a while, I crave a little drama. That's why I'm simply gaga over this year's dramatic metallic eyeshadow looks.

How I'm Wearing a Red Lip This Season [SLIDESHOW]

A girl in my high school French class used to blow me away with her amazing makeup. It was always so perfect and pulled together (at 16!) that I assumed she spent at least an hour getting ready in the morning. Then, one day when I asked her to teach me some of the tricks, she looked at me like I was nuts. Turns out that all she did was put on a bright red lipstick. That was the precise moment…
