Simple Drugstore Look: Every Day Edition

Today, I am going to show you a look that I have really liked. It is a really easy look and you can adapt it in a way that you like. You can stop after the first step or do every single step and even add more colors. It is a very neutral look so it's not all up in your face. As an added bonus, the look is pretty much all drugstore. Cheap, but awesome at the same time!

Products Used:

Face

Skin79 Oriental Gold BB Cream

Maybelline Dream Matte Powder in Sand

NYC Smooth Skin Bronzer in Sunny

Eyes

Wet n' Wild Eyeshadow Palette in Comfort Zone

Maybelline Ultra Liner in Black

Maybelline Mega Plush Mascara(Waterproof)

For tools, I pretty much only use ELF so there is nothing really specific that you should use.

For the face products, this is just what I use. I love these products, but you may have products you prefer.

This is the only eyeshadow palette I am using. It is super cheap ($4.99) and really amazing. You can find this at Walgreens. I labeled each side as Side 1 or Side 2.

Apply the browbone color on your browbone and the eyelid color up to your crease from Side 1. Don't go past the crease.

Add the crease color from Side 1. Make sure you blend it in really well.

Add the define color from Side 1 to the outer v. For me, I like it a bit subtle, so I did it with a very light hand.

This is what the look open so far.

For some added drama, I added the gorgeous( and I mean gorgeous!) define eyeshadow from Side 2 to the middle of my eyelid. The color is simply gorgeous!

So I finished it off with eyeliner and mascara. Voila! We are done! Easy-peasy lemon squeazy! 

Now even though this is not exactly part of the tutorial, I just really wanted to show you this color. It is the Revlon Just Kissable Balm Stain in Romantic. I have a very sheer layer, but it can definitely be made to be more opaque. Love it!

The format I used was inspired by Urban Babe. She posts about makeup, life, and it is all really interesting/helpful. You should definitely check her out!

Anyways, I hope this was at least slightly interesting.

New Favorite Mascara

I have found my new favorite mascara! It is the Maybelline The Mega Plush Volume Express WaterProof Mascara! Whew, that takes a minute to say!

This mascara is supposedly made with a gel-mousse formula that is supposed to never flake. I do not doubt the gel-mousse part because this mascara makes my lashes not feel crunchy. Do you know what I mean? Most mascaras leave your lashes feeling super spidery and sometimes they even make it look that way! Also, this waterproof formula is actually quite waterproof from what I have heard on reviews. For me, all mascaras I have tried always smudge a on me. Not so much that I have black rings all around my eyes, but it kind of emphasizes my dark circles a bit. Sadly, this mascara is not exempt, but it does last the longest without smudging. I love and will repurchase it again.

No mascara on both

Left eye: None

Right Eye: Curled and with Mascara

Super freaky eyes, no? But, I felt it was necessary haha!

Same format as above

More natural shape.

Can you see that my right eye seems more, I don't know, more feminine and more awake?

I really hope you give this mascara a chance! Many people call this their daytime mascara, so maybe it could be yours too?
