You're An Artist

Have you ever given much thought to creating an eye look that would match your bag? I know that may sound strange but hear me out...

Anyone that knows me knows I'm a bit of a "bag lady." Now I'm not talking about someone with a bunch of stuff in their bag. I mean I have a closet full of purses, handbags, clutches and totes. I have all sizes and colors. I mean I probably have the whole spectrum of the rainbow in my closet.

There's a certain art to handbags. I have a style entirely unique from other people. I love large bags, crossbow bags and clutches. I guess you could also say I'm a bit of a bag addict. Yes I have a real problem. I go into a store, see a cute bag and think "I've got to have that." Nevermind the fact that I have probably 40 other bags almost like it. Okay I'm exaggerating I probably have 40 total bags, not 40 of one kind.

But as I take a look at all of those bags; from the grays, greens, purples, pinks, and teal...I realize that I have eyeshadow that matches perfectly to each one. I also find that more often than not I'm matching my eye look to my bag color.

Maybe that it just coincidence or maybe I'm intentionally doing it. Whatever the case, it's kind of a fun way to express myself artistically. I'm not a real artist and sometimes my fashion sense isn't all that great but I'm becoming more aware of fashion as it relates to my makeup.

When you wear makeup you are making a statement. You're an artist that starts with a blank canvas and can experiment and create a look entirely all your own. The same holds true with fashion. You wear items and pieces that express who you are.

So the next time you pick up your bag or that eyeshadow brush think of it as a chance to be uniquely you for that day.
