2 DAYS OF OFFICE MAKEUP | because technology hates me

Here are two days' worth of makeup looks that I wore to the office last week. Take me back to the days of the typewriter and rotary phones; that's the level of technology I can handle.

Also, I went on about the colour of the Maybelline lip product but never said what it was, it is the shade Charged.

Kara, how about videos of makeup looks inspired by Canadian landscapes and sites? This way, we could all learn more about Canada. I went to the Niagara Falls once and to Toronto, but that's all. It seems like such a beautiful country! 😍

I do appreciate this office makeup series you're doing! Best way to gives ideas, use what you have and share the love of what we already have!! Love it!!! Thank you!!! MJ xo

That NARS palette is beautiful. Every time Nars comes out with a palette I want, it's limited. This look is absolutely stunning. I love the Maybelline Vinyl inks.

The mesh top and the vampy lips is such an epic look!
The pockets on a jumpsuit are a must, truly.
But like… does this mean we will never have more details about the goth inspired/your goth era look?!? 😭😭😭

You should definitely use your old palettes, especially in these videos! I have so many older palettes that no one talks about anymore. A potential way to circumvent the older palettes conundrum is by suggesting similar palettes or dupes/colour comparisons (I often use Temptalia for comparison when someone uses older products or products I don’t have).

That was THE BEST way to start me week! Thanks for keeping it real. I’m great in a crisis and then I I cry and cry afterwards. A useful skill as a teacher, I guess? 🤣😭 hope you have a great week!

Beautiful looks. I LOVE that super dark lippie combo (reminds me of the Nightmoth liner by MAC)! A friend of mine actually wears a Quo lipgloss with the Maybelline Vinyl on top and says it stays on really well. Sounds weird I know but she says it works (voodoo magic?). I'm with you on the crying when I'm frustrated. When I get startled I also scream and run in the air like in a Scooby Doo cartoon. Pretty funny since I have trained in karate for years! Thanks for doing this series/I adore it!

[sarahshoxx]

I just have to say that thumbnail with you wearing the dark lip color looks so good on you!! very cool!

[patriciadebord]

Hello Kara. I love both looks make up and outfits. You look
lovely lady

[Xbehindblueeyesx]

Do you have the Be Perfect Carnival lll Love Tahiti palette? Have you done a video with looks for that if you do?

[CarynHaralson-jijl]

Don’t stress over the footage dear one. One thing I know for certain is “💩 happens”. Grandpa & Grandma always told me to let the rotten things just roll off my back like water on a duck. Then again Grandpa always told me my eyes were brown because I was full of 💩 to my eyebrows 😂😂 😂.
Sorry, must be the red moscato wine 🍷. Have an amazing weekend Kara! I think this 64 yr olds weekend is starting out pretty good 😊.

I am such a sucker for a dark vampy lip. It's very "Don't f*ck with me fellas. This aint my first time at the rodeo". (I love that line in Mommie Dearest lol) I can't remember where I heard this but they talk about computers being simple and how you "just trap lightning in sand and teach it how to think." Yeah, technology scares me. Typewriters are good. Lets go back there and look shit up in encyclopedias! As for shorts, I mostly see cute animals and funny fail videos because I'm old and love free serotonin. Any makeup content is either historical shorts like from Erin Parsons, micro reviews or buy this not that, dupe alerts, or "New at {insert store here}"

I can't remember the JD Glow scandal either, but I think it's because I'm in Reddit too often and there's always some sort of "we don't buy this" happening. If it's not something that sticks in my head (like J* or ABH) I'm at a loss. I'm in Europe, though, so what's available here can be really different, especially with the indies who tend to be at the center of these - I can't get Juvia's Place anyway, so that one only stuck in my head because I had been curious.
How is the jumpsuit for, um, necessary comfort breaks? I have one and tend to avoid it for full-day wear when I'm out, but I love the look when I can find the right one (I'm a US 16-18, so fit is crucial).

The vampy look with the goth attire is so damn gorgeous and up my... (Nocturn) alley.
*regrets the pun already* X'D I know, Rowling is a crappy human being, but I couldn't help but reference to the books because I grew up with them. I'm sorry.
By the way as a goth I really appreciated it. Come to my crypt whenever you want to enjoy some blood red decotion, it's a bit chilly still here ;)

[IllyDragonfly]

AND HELL YEAH for the St Patrick's day look! I rocked a similar one with a green sweater and then went to an Irish pub after work XD
Ps: why not making Outfit of the day in Youtube shorts? No offense but I feel like a creep at the idea of hanging around where all the kiddies are on Tik Tok. I'm too old for that shit XD

[kirstenmarry]

JD Glow supported an anti-abortion bill (they liked a post about the bill)

[carolinek]

Sexiest lawyer I've ever seen. Love the green look.
