Soft Spring Cut Crease



It's finally Spring!! *cue the hallelujahs* -and if you live in Dallas like myself, the sun is also finally shining!

It's pretty clear by now that I am addicted to makeup, some products more than others. Lipstick happens to be one of those products. I picked this baby by NYX up during the dreary months of winter and have been anxiously waiting for the perfect time to create a look inspired by it! 



 While I typically don't follow the rules when it comes to makeup, there is something so whimsical and feminine about spring time and the use of pastels and lilacs. I wanted to incorporate variations of these colors, while ultimately creating something different than my typical makeup looks. Cut creases are great because they can be tailored to your liking and/or personality; think soft enough to add subtle definition to the eye, or cut to the gods like a true glamazon!


Because this look plays up the cool, blue tones found in the lipstick I wanted to bring balance with the use of warmer toned products. A soft brown in the crease and an opaque blush help to harmonize and compliment without overpowering, for these products also have like undertones. 

And of course, it wouldn't be a true djkitty glam without a fierce highlight! I chose to go with one of my all-time favs by Love & Beauty. This highlight is the perfect mix of champagne and pink, giving off a beautifully intense pastel glow.
