Temptingly smudgy eye

For some reason, I find the simple and neutral looks the hardest to come up with.  It was one of those mornings, slept too late and had an early conference call so I thought... what goes well with a messy ponytail?  Smudgy semi smokey eyes!
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 ;)
