Steady on
Whoever said 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' clearly didn't have much experience with makeup. Sure, a smoky eye and red lip might serve you adequately, but do they feed your need for originality? We didn't think so. Besides, the flooding of shades and formulations in the market call for experimentation on tried-and-true graphics.
