Riaz was surprised by how much she actually liked the look. "I tend to shy away from eyeshadow and dramatic eye makeup because it feels too done up and unnatural, so it was shocking and hard to digest initially. I love the '60s and the idea of winged eyeliner, so a watered-down version of the eye makeup would be nice. I would rock a less-teased version of the hair, too. And with Halloween around the corner, it's gotten me to start thinking about possibly being a '60s mod girl."
That said, Riaz admitted she was a little uncomfortable with a full face of makeup on in the middle of the day. "I wiped off some of the eye makeup to tone it down, but I did head back to my office with the beehive ponytail and a little bit of the eye makeup. Fortunately, I work in the beauty industry, so my coworkers reacted well to my new look. They all recognized it from the Marc Jacobs spring '13 show." And, she picked up a new beauty trick in the process: "I've never used white eyeliner on the inner rims of my eyes before — it's amazing what a simple trick like that can do to make your eyes pop.
