Makeup Monday: Timeless Taupe with HP

Makeup Monday: Timeless Taupe | #Livingaftermidnite

The first Makeup Monday of the year is here & I’m teaming up with Sprout by HP to show you a fresh faced look perfect for any occasion – the office, happy hour, shopping – pretty much anything! While I was away for Christmas I barely wore any makeup & when I was traveling I wore the same look pretty much everyday because I packed minimal makeup with me, so I was really excited to get home and experiment a little – especially after finding this at my front door!

Another thing I couldn’t wait to do when I got home was try out my new Sprout by HP computer! It was delivered the day before I left for vacation & it was torture trying to finish packing while it was sitting at my desk dying to be played with! Sometimes the makeup I feature on Makeup Mondays is sold out, discontinued or only available in kits so I’d hate for you not to be able to recreate a look you love because you couldn’t find the exact color. With the Sprout I was able to scan the products I used to create this look so you could see if you have a similar color in your makeup bag! I can’t get over how easy it was to scan all of these products & create this collage! All I can say is this is only the beginning!! Stay tuned for more projects with my Sprout!
