When it comes to making myself pretty (read: semi-presentable), I do as every girl does and ask, “What would Audrey do?” — referring, of course, to Audrey Hepburn. Usually, I come to the same conclusion: I need another black dress, a swoopy updo and Chanel, Chanel, Chanel.
While most designer labels are overpriced, I do think the House of Miss Coco makes fantastic eyeshadow, so it’s with some reluctance that I’ve made the switch to the more natural Sante Kosmetics brand. Made with certified organic jojoba and chamomile extract, asbestos-free talc and packaged very minimally in tin, it’s hardly luxe and doesn’t have quite the same shimmer.
However, the shades in the “Terra” set work perfectly with my complexion and my eye colour, which I most often describe as “pee-poo” but is more technically something like “light brown to hazel”.
I’ll still use what’s leftover of my Chanel if I’m going to something fancy … like, you know, a company BBQ … but for day-to-day use, my lids are getting defined a little more naturally.
Oh, and P.S. that headline is meant to be a play on shadow boxing, in case you were wondering (but most likely you were all like, ‘whatever, another stupid headline’).
