VIDEO: Get Ready With Me | Lunch Date | Colorful Makeup
Lunch dates are special. Be it with the pati or with my girlfriends, I feel lunch dates ate occasions where I can truly experiment with my makeup. Evening dates and date nights are more about the cliched makeup looks consisting of tones of golds and browns and coppers and bronzed replete with either Ruby Red lips or Warm Pinks... So when do you get the time to play with the younger pastels and blues and greens and other candy colors? Enter lunch dates...
