Good day to all of you and happy FRIDAY!
I have been up since about 4am and decided to throw on some makeup to look nice for my office holiday luncheon. I am loving my eye look it is very simple but pretty and appropriate for work and office functions as well as glam for the holidays. This look can be modified depending on how jazzed up you want it to be! The great thing about this is it only takes a couple shadows to make this look pop! In my opinion..the photo of this doesn't do it justice...I will be posting a YouTube video this weekend on a holiday glam look to get you lovelies ready for your upcoming festivities!
Here is what I am wearing:
Eyeshadow Primer-- ELF, I absolutely love this primer it only costs $1 and works amazing, keeps your shadow on all day!!! I am really picky about eye primers because my eyes are so oily that it usually cuts through any base...the ELF primer has definitely wowed me and for the price its worth a try. Shop ELF Here!
Base Shadow-- MAC Pigment in Sunnydaze a light metallic gold/champagne color, I used a MAC 252 brush to apply to my lid but any synthetic brush or flat paddle eyeshadow brush works. Using a regular eyeshadow brush sometimes doesn't work as well with loose eyeshadow pigment because it just dusts it all over! The paddle style or synthetic brush holds onto the pigment and evenly places it where you put it. Shop MAC here!
Crease-- MAC Eyeshadow in Wedge, a great neutral...I alternate between Wedge and Saddle for my crease when I just want to blend out a base shade and erase the line of demarcation between my lid and crease, definitely something you will want in your makeup bag. I also use the new NYX nude matte shadow in shad "Dance the Tides" or "Tawny" for a less costly alternative (only $5 with great color payoff) Shop Nyx Here!
Brow Bone-- MAC Eyeshadow in Naked Lunch, its a pretty satin/frost beige pink...great for highlighting the brow or tear ducts...an easy go to for a neutral eyelid look as well.
Eyeliner-- MAC Technikhol in Graphblack and ELF liquid eyeliner, I applied the MAC pencil before I applied my shadow on the waterline and on the outer corners of my eyelid and smudged. Then, I went back in with my ELF liquid eyeliner and applied right on the lash line for a thin slightly cat eyed line.
Finish! If you want to step up the look a little and add more glitz, use a little shimmer on top! I added a bit of MAC Reflects Antique Gold but any loose glitter pigment works to add some shine and dimension to the look. This is why the photo does not do this eye justice!!! I just used my finger to pat on the glitter, in my experience the finger helps the glitter stick a little better.
My Brows-- Maybelline Define A Brow in Medium Brown, MAC Clear Brow Gel and NW 30 Studio Finish concealer to lightly sculpt.
I topped my look off with a nude lip (trying to be office appropriate) I am wearing MAC Creme De Nude Cremesheen Lipstick with a .mark Lip Crayon in shade "Natural" with MAC Lipglass in Oyster Girl. Shop .mark by Avon here!
I will be posting a YouTube video this weekend on a holiday glam look to give you the step by step!
Have a Great Friday/ Weekend Everyone!!!!!
