Remember how I used to style a whole bunch of dummies for Miranda Priestly’s evil twin sister? Well. Guess what? I get to re-live my fashionista hey-day as a contributor on BlogHer’s Life Well Lived Panel! (Just look at my shiny new bling over there in the right sidebar).

The Life Well Lived section is a recent new addition to BlogHer.com. It’s a place where some pretty savvy women lead a Q & A styled blog on… well. Living life well, really – with articles focused on getting to your happy, getting organized and looking your best.

This week’s question focused on beauty and I was thrilled to dip into my cosmetic experience to have supplied an idea that was used in the article.

Q: “It’s the end of the day and you’re rushing to get ready for an evening out. How do you create a nighttime look in just a few minutes?”

A: I put my lipstick for double-duty beauty. I not only apply it to my lips, but also my cheeks as a cream blush.

 

I invite you all, my friends, to join the in conversation! How do you create a nighttime look in just a few minutes? What’s you’re go-to shortcut for looking fab? I’d love to hear what you have to say – here or on the Life Well Lived post. While you’re there, be sure to enter the Life Well Lived Moments $250 Sweepstakes.

      i totally agree! mascara!(just as long as it’s not clumpy)… and red lipstick goes *such* a long way!

      some one once told me it’s the best way to feel powerful & it’s so true. every time i need a boost of self-confidence i glide on my favorite red lipstick. people automatically take me seriously. it’s so weird. BUT GREAT!

    I generally don’t wear mascara or eye shadow during the day. But if I’m going out at night I apply it for a more dramatic look.

      it unanimous! mascara = a woman’s best friend :)

      i also like heels + accessories. they’re a quick way to dress up any outfit – even jeans & a t-shirt… add a great pair of heels & a great necklace or bangle… and you are hot to trot!
