Beauty Dare: I Wore Purple Makeup To The Office (And Liked It)

This is for all of you girls out there who are too scared to wear anything too "crazy" to the office. I know how you feel. I'd see a gorgeous makeup trend on the runway, but I would never wear it to work, because I thought I couldn't pull it off. Especially something like this.

But after getting challenged by some co-workers to step out of my beauty comfort zone, I sucked it up and came to the office wearing the most recent trend I saw on the runway (and fell in love with). Yep -- I wore purple makeup to work.

Given that I work at a beauty website, I didn't get very many stares (or even second glances). But the point is, you can wear certain runway trends to the office. The trick is to pick something you love, and own it. After all, purple is my best color, according to this eye shadow horoscope.

So, now I dare you to try something new with your look this week. Let me know how it goes by leaving a comment below! Need inspiration? Click here to see 18 amazing runway tricks you could steal.
