Today on #BeautyIsBoring... featuring talented artist, model and all around cool girl @oscarcash. I used three of my current favorite products to create this look: @lemonhead.la's Spacepaste (the acid #greenglitter), #narsissist PowerMatte Lip Pigment in Paint It Black and #katvondbeauty Lock It Concealer. And yes, I deliberately mussed up Ella's brows for a less "done" effect. A post shared by BEAUTY IS BORING 💋 (@beautyisboring_) on Aug 27, 2017 at 9:16pm PDT
