Femme Boulevard Goes Graphic!

Graphic editorial makeup usually connotes something bold and fierce and totally cool in that fashion-ugly fashion. Y'know, primrose-yellow blush, blue lipstick in a joker grin, one entire eyelid covered with abstract rendition of festering sore, that kinda thing. But I woke up today[1] to utterly glorious spring sunshine with birds twittering[2] and the scent of blossoms [3] on the air so can only offer a contrarian Fotherington-Thomas-twee [4] spin on graphic. [5]

[1] why yes, I should stop doing these looks at the last minute
[2] okay, pigeons. LDN pigeons sometimes do tweet, okay? Especially if they've been pecking at a pack of purple wave....
[3] well, blossom. Shortly before it wilted in the fog of exhaust.
[4] hullo clouds hullo sky etc.
[5] phototropic footnoting. Totally a thing.

To show the pretty sparkles in that Kiko pink liner -- one of the v few liquids I've kept during my transition to almost all-pencil/potted liners. And also look how well the new Dior pink mascara (LE for summer) covers my black lashes without any kind of base/primer/special prep! I'm pretty enamoured of this new formula, in fact, so expect to see a few more looks with this, and perhaps the blue and purple shades too...
