What I wore Wednesday, Vol. 8: metallic Bronze Lids and Matte Beet Red Lips

Some might say that metallic bronze lids and beet red matte lips is a little too glam for hanging out with a toddler at home, but I went with it.

I got the inspiration for this look from one of my favorite makeup artists on Instagram, Katie Jane Hughes.

Lips: NARS velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Damned mixed with Kosas Cosmetics Lipstick in Electra

I never would have thought to wear a beet red lip with a bronzy eye, but it looked so good on Katie Jane that I wanted to try. I also mixed two lipsticks together this time to get the matte purplish red, and I like how it turned out.

Do you ever mix lipsticks together? Inquiring minds want to know.
