So I have a stye, it's super unattractive but worse than that it hurts. I really didn't want to leave my house today but that isn't actually an option. So this post is about how to be fabulous without ANY eye makeup. Eye make up can get contaminated when you have a stye, which means you can give it to yourself repeatedly, icky. It also can stop the healing process. So eye make up is a no no.
Thankfully the stye itself didn't photograph well but you can see my lower lid is red.
I really focused on my face for this look, I used E.L.F complexion perfection powder and concealer on my face to even out my skin tone. I then used Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush in Plum Wine to create a nice flushed cheek. I did a bold red lip to bring attention to my not injured area, I used Revlon Colorburst lip butter in Red Velvet and Peach Parfait to add a hint of sparkle.
I didn't feel uncomfortable in public like I thought I might and surprisingly no one noticed the lack of eye makeup. The bold lip really evens out the look and is the key to pulling this stealth move off!
So I know this is not the sexiest topic but we all have some eye issues from time to time. What do you think about this look? Do you like?
Here is to hoping this doesn't last long!
Tip: Put rice in a sock and heat up in the microwave for no longer than 1 minute, put a wet paper towel over your eye and put the rice sock on your eye! It feels really good!

I can't even tell that you have a stye... so good job!
