Addendum: Deathbed Beauty, Wet & Wild Cream Highlighter
partner
The
darkness
has passed—and I have even more valuable information re colds to pass
along: When you at long last return to work, your skin (if it's
anything like mine) will probably look gray and wizened, you'll likely
still feel like your life force has been sapped from you, and the whole
sad-skin-no-energy thing will be ... discouraging. These minimalist
makeup tricks should solve the first problem—and hopefully by
extension, some
of the second: First, smudge
Laura Mercier eyeshadow in Black Plum into your lashes with
MAC's liner brush
(you're going for imperfect here, so don't stress over a perfectly
defined line); then dab Wet 'n' Wild's ridiculously affordable $2.99
cream highlighter in Blushing
around your cheekbones (the name is a misnomer, as there's nothing
blush-ey about it—it's more of a pale,
iridescent-without-being-club-kid-ish salve). The combination of
purply-soft smokiness around the eyes and dewy luminescence on cheeks
effects a tragic, consumptive beauty.
