Now let's move on to eyes. For eyes I've been keeping it very simple just stick to my Urban Decay Smoked Palette which is my HG eyeshadow palette. I gave the full deets in my Z Palette blogpost so make sure to check it out by clicking here.
I've been using Barlust which is a copper bronzy shade on my lids and Freestyle which is the perfect blending shade to blend out the shape edges. I told you, pretty simple right?! Urban Decay does the best eyeshadows in my opinion, buttery soft, pigmented and easy to blend. Can't go wrong with it!
FYI: I do use Mac Paint Pot in Groundwork as my eyeshadow primer before applying the Urban Decay shadows. It just lasts longer and Groundwork is very flattering under Barlust, and my eyeshadows stick to my eyes better. Have a look at my Top 5 Fav Cream Eyeshadows post for details of this paint pot.
Eyeliner: I've been loving dark blue eyeliner for the past month and I am still enjoying it. It makes my dark brown eyes pop. I am sick of black and need a pop of colour. The one I am currently using is the 24 Hour Waterproof Eye Pencil from Deborah which is an Italian drug store makeup brand. I gotta say I am pretty impressed with it. It's the twist up pencil so no sharpener required.
It's easy to smudge thanks to the smudger sponge it comes with, and it lasts pretty well on me. I can't say 24 hours but it lasts decent amount of hours. I just apply it on my waterline, and both upper and lower lash lines then smudge it with the sponge. That's it. Easy breezy!
As far as Mascara goes I don't use it on a daily basis because I have stubborn straight eye lashes it takes me ages to apply mascara then curl them so can't be bothered to be honest with ya. I would if I go out in the evening or on a special occasion.
Eye brows: on a day to day basis I just use this Gimme Brow from Benefit Cosmetics. It's quick and easy great for when I'm in a rush. It tints my brow, sets them in place and it lasts all day. Definitely a must have. I have the shade in light/medium. Have a look at my HG Brow Products and Tools blogpost for my brow routine if you are interested.
Last step to complete my daily look is lipstick. I don't wear bright lip colours on a daily basis. I go for nude, and by "nude" I mean nude lipstick colours not that I go out NUDE. Lol! Sorry about the cold joke. Moving on... ...
As I was saying... I love nude lipsticks. They're very low-key, comfortable and flattering for daily use. My fav nude lipstick at the moment is the Hourglass Femme Nude Lip Stylo in No.5 Nude. Beautiful on me and would be beautiful on you as well if you and I have the same or similar skintone. It's so smooth on the lip and the golden shimmer is gorg. It's matte so lasts pretty well during the day. Full detail of this lipstick is featured on my Perfect Nudes and My All Time Fav Lipsticks blogposts, give them a read!
Ok so there you have it, my current everyday eye and lip routine/favs and I hope you have enjoyed it as well as the Vol.1 from yesterday's post. Let me know your makeup favs at the moment and as always please follow me on tweeter @eflicciardello that would make me fly... High... Lol
