I have to say, it’s nice to see Mary-Kate looking so healthy and serene:

Those strong brows really work on her face, and I like her No Makeup Makeup look. But the shirt looks, er, rather severe, shall we say? Let’s take a look at the rest of it!

Okay. I mean, I get it. It’s sort of very…you know, Austere 90s. Which is okay for her, because she was, like, an infant in the 90s. I, on the other hand, was in high school in the 90s and looking at this just reminds me of the time I stood in front of the Clinique counter for like THREE HOURS trying to find the perfect nude lipstick that made me look like Christy Turlington (or MK, as we just noted), as opposed to totally washed out and sort of anemic. I did find it eventually — not that it transformed me magically into La Turlington, sadly. But I also found that I had to wear so much OTHER make-up to make up for my very nude lip that the whole experiment just sort of snowballed into Too Much Work, and I was really lazy back then (and right now). Certainly, this whole look is not something I personally would EVER wear. I would look totally ridiculous in it. But I can sort of appreciate what she’s cooking up. Even if it is very Super Severe Secretly Sadistic Possibly Satanic Schoolmarm.
