If you like me and work a 9-5, getting ready in the morning needs to be quick & painless (because those extra 10 minutes of sleep are crucial!).

Using Jouer’s new line, this look done on model, Abby, is simple & perfect for work & can be done is 10 minutes.

1- Start with the appropriate color Jouer moisture tint

2- Apply “Bloom” cheek color to your cheeks

3- Apply “Toffee” eyeshadow on both the lids blending up into the crease

4- Smudge “truffle” eyeshadow into your upper lash line

5- Apply “Noir” mascara to upper lashes only

6- Finish off this look with “Oasis” lip gloss

So simple that even the busiest Worknista’s can do this!

GC:Who is your favorite Beauty Icon?

CS: Elizabeth Taylor. There was a picture of Ms. Taylor with Purple eyeshadow, Lavender lipstick, and tangerine lip liner. Her lips just looked that were just dripping with gloss. I’ve also had the pleasure of working with Elizabeth Taylor, which as a Florida boy, was amazing.
