Getting Out Of Beauty Ruts With Mary Kay and Project Runway

Getting Out Of Beauty Ruts With Mary Kay and Project Runway

Are you guys fans of Project Runway?  It’s a favorite show of mine because of the ingenuity that designers have to show as they create unique looks on a time crunch!  I am definitely a risk taker when it comes to interiors, but I’m less bold when it comes to my personal fashion choices.  Of course, fashion isn’t just about clothing, but the whole look that’s created with a great hair style and the perfect make-up!  Did you know that Mary Kay® is the official beauty sponsor for Project Runway® Season 13?!

They are! And in an effort to help us amp up our personal looks, Mary Kay® sent me a package of goodies to show off two stunning looks that Global Makeup Artist, Luis Casco used this season–The Emerald Eye and A Graphic Eye!

I definitely get stuck in a rut with my make-up routine, so I was more than excited to try out these two looks!
