Addendum: Deathbed Beauty, Wet & Wild Cream Highlighter

Glamour Magazine

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.
