Kristin's Face
"There's no way I'm going into work with a bare face, so I started with NP Set It Takes Two Concealer and Foundation Pot, $35. It's handy, since this one container has foundation, concealer, and even a highlighter too.

"I used the peach highlighter in the pullout drawer on the bridge of my nose, browbone, and just above my cheekbones. It added a nice glow to my face without being too shimmery or glittery."

Kristin's Eyes
"I opted for shades of brown for my eyes today. It's a way to give them some definition without going too crazy for the office. I started with the light brown shade all over my eyelid, browbone, and the inner corner of my eye."

"Next I used a slightly darker brown shade. I applied it on my lid along my lashline, then blended it upward toward my crease so it covered my lid but wasn't too dark."

"I finished my smoky eye by layering a coppery-brown shade on top of the previous shadow to give it a metallic effect. Again, I started at the lashline and blended up with my brush so there were no harsh lines.

"Finally, I used NP Set Glamorista Mascara, $16, on my lashes."

Kristin's Final Look
"I used the peach gloss from the same NP Set Gorgeous-To-Go Palette, $27, that Rosie used for a little color. I didn't want to go too dark since I already had a lot going on with my eyes. I think this is perfect for the office. The brown shades make it way more wearable for day than the usual black smoky eye."
