Evening, hotties! just when I thought I couldn’t get any lazier, I did. I had a major makeup revelation this week. A neutral shimmer shadow plus a lil’ bit of matte in the outer V led to my easiest day eye EVER. A whole new world of 10-minute looks has opened up before me, fo’ reals.
The combo I’ve worn for the past few days combines a champagne shimmer shade with a matte black. It feels breezy and work-friendly. To get the look I used makeup from Chanel, Dior, Laura Mercier and Lacome, as well as three just-released products from Clinique.

Doing The Eyes
I like to prime my lids before applying eye shadow, so I started by dabbing MAC select Moisturecover Concealer onto my lids with a concealer brush. Then, I swiped the shimmery champagne shadow from the Dior Iridescent palette onto the entire lid with a flat eye shadow brush like the MAC 252 to create a neutral canvas upon which to work.
With a fine, pencil-tipped MAC 219 brush, I applied Clinique Midnight eye shadow on the outer third of the lid. In this step, I concentrated much more color on the outer eye, which after blending helps with the smokey effect.
Next, I blended the outer edges with a fluffy MAC 217 brush to erase any severe lines from the dark black shadow.
To add definition, I used Lancome Stylo Noir on the upper water line, and, with the same liner, placed a few evenly spaced dots along the lash line, smudging them together for a softer effect.
Here, I darkened my brows a bit with a MAC 266 brush and MAC Concrete shadow.
To finish the eyes and really open ’em up, I curled my lashes and added two coats of Chanel mascara for volume and length.
The rest of the Look
A little concealer, foundation and translucent power helped to even out my skin tone. To add a bit much more color to my face, I swiped Stila bronzer in my t-zone (down the nose and across the forehead). Then, with my fingers, I applied and blended very blush onto the apples of my cheeks.
To finish the look, I lined and filled in my lips with Pomegranate lip pencil topped with a layer of Bamboo Pink Gloss.
It’s practically Friday!

Well, it’s practically Friday. What are your plans for the weekend? I hope you have something fun lined up. I don’t think I’ve got anything exciting on my plate. Tabs heads to the vet on Saturday. I hope he gets a clean bill of health.
