To Do: Recreate the skills of a makeup artist in half the time

If you are looking for a sensational makeup artist for a special occasion or night out on the town, Patrick from Bergdorf's Nars counter is your man. Unfortunately, I am just not as crafty as he when it comes to recreating the look he gave me last Saturday. It was lovely to sit for an hour while he skillfully applied the new spring colors to my eyes. Recreating the look at home has not proven so successful. (To be honest, the Night Bird eyeshadow makes me look like I gave myself a black eye!). I just do not have that much time to devote to perfect makeup application. My next appointment with Patrick will be focused on "How to do my morning makeup routine in 10 minutes or less". On a side note, my new blush in "Madly" is lovely and it just could be the one thing I never knew I needed.
