Shannon Puts on Makeup

“This doesn’t look like an affordable palette…” 🍒✨

I honestly wasn’t expecting this much dimension from the Cherry Icon palette. The cool purple base underneath the pink made SUCH a difference, and the shimmer catches the light so beautifully on the eyes.

This ended up feeling soft, romantic, and surprisingly luxe instead of flat or overly warm — which is exactly what I want from pink eyeshadow.

Would you wear this look? 💕

Taupe isn’t the problem—it just needs contrast. A little depth at the edges and a little light at the center changes everything. Defined, not flat.

Soft pink can go flat so quickly… this is how I keep it delicate and defined.

Press, blur, then add just enough structure in a cool taupe. It keeps the color soft, but gives the lip shape back.

You don’t need a different lipstick. You need a better method.

Powder between coats gives you longer wear and a smoother, more even finish—no slipping, no breakdown.

Lunchtime Lipsticks 💄

A cool pink moment with a glossy, light-catching finish 💗✨
Lined with Moonwalk, layered Pink Peppermint, and topped with Gloss Bomb in Miss Jellyfish for that soft icy pink with a hint of lavender and dimensional shine.

Eyeshadow by .

Soft mauve, softly defined.
I lined with MAC Sweet Talk, added Anastasia Beverly Hills Pale Mauve Lip Velvet for that blurred, velvety base, and finished with MAC Lipglass Cushion in Dressed to Dazzle for the most effortless sheen.

This is one of those combinations that just settles beautifully—polished, wearable, and quietly luxe.

Would you keep the gloss, or wear it matte?
Tell me below… and save this for later 🤍

There’s something about a softly defined, cool-toned lip that just works 🤍

Today’s combo is one of those easy, polished looks that never pulls too warm and always feels wearable.

Liner: MAC Sweet Talk
Lipstick: MAC Mehr
Topped with Ole Henriksen Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment in Sweet Macaron for that smooth, hydrated finish.

This is the kind of lip I reach for when I want to look put together without overthinking it.

So tell me… Does Mehr still hold up? Or are we moving on? ↓

This cool toned eyeshadow palette completely surprised me.

The Roaring 20s Bohemian palette from has beautiful mauve and purple tones, and that matte blends so easily.

If you love a cool-toned eyeshadow palette that’s actually wearable, this one is worth a look.

Which shade would you try first?

This blush genuinely surprised me…
It looks warm in the pan, but on my skin it pulls soft cool pink and doesn’t go orange.

If you’re cool toned, you already know how rare that is.

Did you see the shift?
