Feeling a little retro...

I've been feeling the thick black cat liner, red lips, blushed cheeks, and handkerchiefs in hair a lot lately. I actually plan to do a little photo shoot with some of my girlfriends here soon {so you'll get to see them once it happens}; but i couldn't wait any longer to play with make up. 
So last night i busted out some liquid liner (that i never use), some red lipstick, and played with make up for a while. I love playing with make up, it makes me feel girly and like a kid; plus i love painting so this is like a quick fix for painting! =)
Side note:
This weekend i'll be helping with a photoshoot doing....wait for it...make up. What what?! My friend Susan texted me this week asking if i'd be interested in doing some make up for a fun photo shoot this weekend...nervous much? I'll let y'all know how it goes. 
I posted this this photo on instagram last night: 
...and then decided to take some pictures of myself, because i suppose i'm weird like that.
I always feel self conscious when i post pictures of myself...because i don't want people to think i'm super narcissistic or anything {and for the win i just spelt 'narcisisstic' without spell check!}.
So to make the record straight i am not narcissistic ha. 
{i just wanted to spell it one more time without spell check!}
Since i'm being honest right now, let me just say that this isn't a make up look i would normally rock outside of the house. Why not? I dont know, maybe i'm just self conscious? Meh, maybe i'll rock this look next week just for kicks and giggles...or maybe i'll chicken out.
. . .
& that ladies & gents is how my hair looks after a high wind advisary, multiple throws into a bun, and working out/sweat. Score one for oily nappy and frizzed out hair!
. . .
Do you like playing with make up? 
Or do you just slap on mascara and all it a day?
Sans make up?
Full blown glamorous?
I'm curious to hear what each person does.
Myself: normal day means mascara, blush, maybe powder eyeliner/eye shadow.

Don't forget to link up for Frankly Friday tomorrow.

Kiki said...

Girl, why must you be so pretty? Seriously, I LOVE that second photo of you. :)

Laura said...

Pretty!

I own no make up. Never wore it. Don't want to.

I'm rare haha. And poor Liza when the day comes that she would want to give it a try because I wouldn't even know where to start!

Stacy Kinard said...

I love the pic of your eyes closed smiling/laughing with the tongue on teeth! It's gorgeous! Love you!

Abbey said...

I LOVE THIS LOOK ON YOU.

As I said on Instagram, I LOVE that retro look on you. I don't think everyone can pull it off, but you definitely can.
I may be one in a million here, but I HATE makeup. I struggle with acne so it is just a pain for me. I only put it on if I absolutely have to like for church or a banquet or something. I'm fine with eye makeup every now and then, but the foundation, then powder, then concealer, then blush routine is too much for me!

Girl, I adore this look on you.

Daily, I just throw on foundation and blush. Classes and work take up most of my time, and I just don't have enough hours in the day to take the time to do my makeup.

But! If I'm ever going out, I go full on glamorous. I love makeup. I have a TON of it, so I might as well use it, right?

Jessica said...

You are BEAUTIFUL! I love that makeup. I've only worn red lipstick outside of the house once, when I was in Savannah! haha. I don't know that I could pull it off in this small town. Love the look on you though! :)

Jordan said...

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL

Melissa said...

You are SO STINKING CUTE! I loved the one you showed on instagram, and i love ALL of these! You are gorgeous!

I wear makeup almost daily. Maybe not on Saturdays. I like to wear it, most of the time. Although eyeliner is a PAIN but i feel naked w/o it.

Laura Darling said...

Love this! Have so much fun at the photo shoot!

Meg said...

Umm...GORGEOUS! And those pics with the retro head band/red lipstick - ADORABLE! Amy, you're gorgeous. And you could totally rock that look!

Amanda said...

Can I just echo everyone here and say you are sooooo beautiful. like stunning. oh I just love it! I especially love that second picture of you with your eyes closed and laughing...so cute :) And I really enjoy pictures of bloggers so keep 'em coming. Also, I suppose the idea of all of us even haaaaving a blog is kind of narcassistic, so I feel like we crossed that bridge a while ago haha)
My daily make-up look is brown shadowliner, clear mascara, a clear or tinted balm for my skin, maybe blush if I'm looking rough, and lip balm! Oh and sometimes I add in an eye cream!
