My Lazy Neutral Eye Days

Now if there's one thing I would skip in my rushed daily makeup routine it would definitely be eyeshadow. Somehow I always feel a little overdone when i have the full eye makeup going on i.e lid, crease and a highlight for daily wear. But after reading a ton of blogs and feeling a little bit inspired  *also my ton of shadows just sitting there staring at me* I decided to try and make an effort over the past few weeks with my eye makeup application.

I decided to start with some neutral shadows just as a wash of colour all over the lid. So using a fluffy blending brush, I apply the shadow and blend it in. Not too obvious but still makes my eyes appear brighter. Smudge some brown liner, add tons of mascara and i'm done.

These are the shadows that i have been reaching for a lot. I'm hoping to add some bolder colours into my routine and just stop being lazy in the mornings.

Are you a serial eyeshadow skipper as well? Or do you prefer neutrals?

My Go-To Makeup Routine

Every now and then, I get a little lazy. You know how it is, wanting to sleep in a little longer then waking up and realizing you have 10 minutes to get ready. Times like these I can't be bothered to go through the whole routine in my daily makeup, particularly now since exams are around the corner. So i turn to my go-to face routine, the makeup items i can just slap on real quick and look semi decent in public *I hope*



Mac Mineralize Skinfinish Natural Medium Dark- a light dusting of this is all I need, love the finish this gives. Very natural, hence the name;)

Mac Select Moisturecover NC42 - definitely my go-to concealer. Being a student, concealer has become my best friend and all though this is not a heavy duty concealer it's perfect for my under eyes. 

ELF Warm Bronzer- gives some colour to my cheeks and the slight sheen is perfect for daily wear.


Mac Haute & Naughty mascara- I cant be bothered with eyeshadow most times, it's the one step i would definitely skip in my usual routine but I can't live without mascara. Been loving this recently, perfect for lengthening and volumizing.

Milani Liquifeye Brown- I always line my lower lash-line just to give some definition to the eyes.

Mac Hug Me l/s- definitely a 'my lips but better' lippy, had it for ages and love it!
