Puerto Rican Sunset

I miss going to Puerto Rico every summer. The warm winds, the salty ocean, the soft sand... it's a magical place that I haven't been to in more than a decade.

A few weeks ago, I was trolling the internet for makeup inspiration and came across this stunning photo on Flickr of a Puerto Rican Sunset. The colors just popped off the screen at me and took me back to many a magical sunset.

I think I am the MOST proud of this look than anything I've done in the past. Enjoy!

The inspiration:

  1. Ah, I just bought those lashes! Can't wait to use them. This look is beautiful, I love the color combination. Totally takes me back to all the summers I used to spend with my grandparents in PR. The good ol' days!

    1. These lashes are fun and gorgeous, but a bit too small for my eyes lol. I'll have to fill in the corners with individual ones. They're SO beautiful though!!
