30 Faces: Day 1

Well yesterday was the start of a new month, so that seems like as good a time as any to take another crack at the whole ’30 days’ challenge thing. I did a 30 Days of Makeup last year with the intent of being a little more adventurous with looks – and I failed miserably, at least at that. It wasn’t a total loss though. Sometimes it’s hard to evaluate your own mad makeup skillz when you’re in the middle of doing it, but looking back through the photos definitely helps me be a little more objective about things that maybe aren’t so flattering on me, color choices that should never happen again or what eyebrow shapes are completely awesome. So yeah, I’m going to do it again. Here’s the first installment.
