Today's goddess is Athena. In Greek mythology, she was the goddess of wisdom, literature, and war strategy. She was also fierce as hell in battle. In other words, she was one bada$$.
I imagine that Athena didn't have much time for makeup, so I wanted to do something in all neutral colors. Something easy to wear, natural-looking and light that didn't look like she was wearing a ton of makeup. Of course, I still wore a full face of makeup for this look (because otherwise where's the fun in that?), but that was the plan!
But enough about that. Let's get to the good stuff~

FACE

Cheeks:
I opted for my usual summer foundation routine, since I wanted something light coverage for the busy lifestyle of Athena. I had a few blemishes that I covered with a concealer, but otherwise I let my skin show through. A quick swipe of bronzer, blush, and highlighter and I was done!
EYES

Brows:

Now for the fun part: the eyes! I went with this mauve-toned trio from Stila for something that would be visible but not too dressed up. A little eyeliner (smudged with a Q-tip, of course) and mascara, and voila!
LIPS
Products Used:
- MAC Cosmetics | Slimshine Lipstick in Intimidate (Discontinued)
This lipstick from MAC is a little melty, but I still love it. I'm actually almost out (the tube turned up as far as it can go), so I'll have to find a suitable substitute once I run out! Any suggestions?
Well, that's everything! After a quick misting of L'Oreal's Infallible Makeup Extender Setting Spray, I was done!
This look was easy to wear to work (a unlike last week's smokey Artemis makeup) and I can definitely see myself wearing it again. What do you think?
