Eye Look of the day!

Today I am trying my Maybelline Stylish Smokes shadow in Amethyst Smokes. I bought it maybe a month ago and had only swatched the colors so I wanted to finally wear it today. Not too impressed with the lid color but I made it work. :D
I used the lid color on my lid, the crease color in my crease, the liner color to deepen my crease and over my eyeliner pencil to set it, the base color in my inner corner and I used my Wetnwild in Brulee for the highlight.
I don't like this one as much as my Natural Smokes so I don't know how much it will get used honestly. I would only recommend this if you don't own any other purple shades.













I hope you guys are having a great day!

Teal and grey.

I am a little disapointed with these pictures because the teal color didn't come through as bright on camera as it is on person. It's not super bright but brighter than this. *shrugs* I wanted to post anyway. I used my 88 shimmer palette from Coastal scents.
Add some color to your life today!
Happy Thursday everyone! :)

A great find if you are looking for a great eyebrow pencil!!

Normally I like to use brow powder and my fave is Anastasia, but I don't like using it all the time and sometimes it is too dark if my whole face is not done as dramatically as usual. Or if I am wanting to do a more simple or natural look that day. So since I didn't want to spend another $20 on powder, I decided to give pencils another try. So I went to the store and picked up a couple from Wet-n-Wild. For on .97 cents at Walmart, I figured it wouldn't be a huge loss if they were sucktastic! But they are AMAZING!!! I would pay a lot more for them!! They bled super well and look natural. I got "Taupe" and "Mink Brown". I also picked up a Maybelline Define-a-Brow in Light Brown($6) and the Wet-n-Wild ones are much better!
Just wanted to pass this great find along to you guys!

**Easy Smokey Eye! Look of the night!**

This is one of the easiest smokey eyes out there!!
All I did was line my upper lash line (thickly) with a black pencil liner; then smudge it out; then pack on a dark matte brown shade (I used my 88 matte palette from C.S.) on the lid and blend it up. Blending it key, so invest in a good blending brush. As you can see I didn't quite get it as high as I wanted, but it works. :) Also, if you wonder how to "shape" the shadow, just follow you brow shape. A great tip I learned. Then I used a matte white hightlight shade from the same palette. I then lined my bottom lid, out to half way in and blended out with the same brown; lined my waterline and added mascara. Add falsies if you wish. ;) And that's it for the eyes!! Easy, eh??
For my face I used liquid foundation, topped it with a matte powder; added a light tough of bronzer and a tiny bit of blush.
Not wearing anything on my lips in this pic, but you can wear a nude lip color or for a more dramtic look, try a bold pink!
Hope this gives you an idea for an evening eye look.
