'Grassy Knolls' Look

'Grassy Knolls' Look

When I fell in love with makeup it was not for the classic beauty enhancing reasons but rather for the artistic, creative potential it provided. I was never a great artist - drawing, painting or otherwise - but I feel that makeup allows me to use skills and talents I never knew I had. It's like discovering a long lost sibling! Who knew I could color and create like this??!!! It is quite freeing to say the least and that is why I love makeup! Now this look will take into my humble little makeup world.
