It’s January.  Bleck.  Everything is bleak and barren and Spring seems so far away.  However, it is a new year, and I’m ready for some change to brighten things up.  Just one look at the mark. magalog for January and you can instantly see why I’m cray cray for coral!  It instantly brightens, heightens and enlightens!

That cover look was created by mark. makeup artist Jamie Greenberg – who, by the way, I want to make my best friend because what I can gather by way of the world wide web haha she seems like the coolest girl ever!  Check out her YouTube channel and see what  I mean!  Jamie highlighted the face with pops of coral that really work for this time of year when you need a little color.  Blush is really your best friend in January!

Inspired, I decided to recreate the mark. magalog 1 cover look on myself!
