So here is what I did in a big rush yesterday morning using 2 eye shadows and some kohl liner. This is something I will keep in my repertoire for those rushed mornings, when I still want to apply some make up. It is crazily simple, but I liked the results. Tempting is a gorgeous color that I ignored for too long.
Eyes:
UDPP
L'oreal le grand Kohl- Black to rim eyes, thicker on outer corners and then smudged out
MAC Tempting patted all over lid and blended to just above crease with a sigma 239 brush, and along lower lashline
Some face powder to blend out edges and on brow
NYX Barely There to highlight inner corners and under brow
A bit more kohl on lashline and waterline and some mascara, that's it!
Face:
L'oreal Studio Secrets primer
MAC Studio Fix powder- C2
Benefit Coralista Blush
MAC Fix+ love this stuff, sets the studio fix powder to such a lovely satiny matte finish
Lip Balm (though I swiped on some MAC Shy Girl on my drive in)
Ack! Excuse the rogue hairs
One with flash to show the shimmy shimmer of tempting:
So what are some of your favorite quick and easy eye combos? I need to come up with some more staple looks for rushed, can't be bothered to think, mornings ;)
very pretty!
ReplyDeleteReally nice and soft, love it xoxo
ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteI find myself doing single color washes when I'm rushed, particularly with Silk Naturals' Sari. It seems to go with just about everything, and it's not a boring light brown at all, so I don't feel too blah.
Thanks ladies! Tempting is such a pretty color, it does need need much messing with
ReplyDeleteKathy- I need to check out Sari, and silk naturals as a whole.... Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous look :-)
ReplyDeleteWow, love your eyes, I just checked out all your posts. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteLove it Nina!
ReplyDeleteI love how it's darkened at the edges of your eyes and fades inward... gorgeous!

thanks sweet ladies!!
ReplyDeleteHoly crap, for something so simple and smokey, it looks amazingly polished :D
ReplyDeleteAnd I've expressed my love for Tempting before <3
I agree with you on neutral looks. They are difficult to come up with when you like using vibrant colours. Looks very pretty though!
ReplyDeleteI totally feel you on the neutral eyes being difficult! I like the semi-smoky look you did. I need to try something like this :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Blix, thanks Phyrra! This method has become my rushed morning routine, just using different colors. Today I did it with HiFi Bad Seed smudged over top of a black kohl pencil. :)
