EOTD #11 Neutral eye makeup look with purple eyeliner

Last week I got a Clinique eyeshadow duo and blush which was a Gift with purchase (GWP) that a friend gave me. The 2 eyeshadows in the GWP was Clinique Colour Surge in Lucky Penny (a shimmery champagne with pink tones) and a shade from the Black Honey quad (a dark brown with red /burgundy tones). I love these eyeshadows. The colours are neutral but gorgeous and is perfect for everyday makeup look.

For this look I used the 2 eyeshadows I mentioned above but I wanted to add a pop of colour so instead of lining my eyes with a black eyeliner I used a purple liner. I think adding the purple using the liner gives a more subtle pop of colour.

To recreate this look:

1. I started by applying a base all over the lid and up slightly towards the brow bone. The base I used was Chanel Illusion d'Ombre eyeshadow in Emerveille. 
2. Then I applied the lighter shade in the Duo palette which was Lucky Penny all over the lid.
3. On the outer third of the eyes I pat the the darker shadow from the Duo (which was the dark reddish brown colour) and then with a fluffy brush start blending it towards the crease.
4. Pick up more of the dark reddish brown eyeshadow with the fluffy brush and blend it on the crease. 
5. I tightlined my upper lash line using MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack. This gives the illusion that the lashes are thicker.
6. I then lined the upper lash line with SEPHORA Flashy Liner Waterproof eyeliner in the colour Flashy Violet. 
7. I also lined the lower lash line with the same purple liner.
8. I finished off by curling my lash and applying mascara. The mascara I used was Australis Killer Curves mascara.

Products used for the eye makeup

I really like this look. I think the purple liner just add that subtle pop of colour without going over the top. You can easily take this look to a night time look by intensifying the darker eyeshadow and also intensifying the purple liner by setting it with a bright violet eyeshadow.

For the face I used Lancome Teint Visionnaire foundation, MAC Peachtwist blush and MUA Bronzed Perfection Bronzer.  And for the lips I used Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip balm stain in Adore.

And that's it! This was a pretty quick makeup look great for an everyday look. 

Everyday Makeup Look

So today I wanted to show you my everyday makeup look. This is the look I usually do when I go to work but sometimes I use less products since I'm usually in a hurry.

The products I used for this look were:

Eyes (All MAC eyeshadows were used):

• Banshee all over the lid
• Soft Brown on the crease mixed with a bit of MAC eyeshadow in Cross Cultural
• Cross Cultural mixed with a bit of Beauty Marked in the outer v
• Beauty Marked along the top lash line
• Cross cultural along the bottom lash line
• Maybelline The One mascara

Face:

• MAC Face and Body Foundation in C2
• Inglot loose powder to set
• Natio Mineral Powder Bronzer and Highlighter
• Ben Nye star dust
• MAC Blush in Peachtwist

Lips:

• Shiseido Automatic Lip Crayon in LC5

If I am in a hurry in the morning, instead of doing the full face makeup I just use a BB cream instead of the foundation and set it with MAC Mineralize Skinfinish natural and then apply blush or bronzer. I also sometimes use the Naked Palette 1 eyeshadows instead of the MAC eyeshadows listed above.  And if I want to tone it down a bit I just use the Cross Cultural (dark brown) eyeshadow by itself instead of mixing it with Beauty Marked eyeshadow so that it's less intense.

I hope you like this look! What do you usually do for your everyday makeup look?
