It’s easy for us to apply our make-up as a matter of habit most mornings, repeating favourite eye shadow and lip combinations.  But occasionally inspiration can trigger a change.  Inspired by images from New York Fashion Week of models for Jonathan Simkhai’s show, I attempted a change to barely coloured eye-lids and shimmery pale pink lipstick.  Bronzer on the cheeks gave a welcome hint of colour to save a washed-out look.

I may choose to use this combination only on weekends but it was fun to mix it up a bit and try something new.
