I have the luxury of being able to wear whatever I want to work. Sometimes, I get stuck in a rut and just wear my workout clothes. But sometimes, it's nice to glam up a bit (and by glam up, I mean wear jeans) and look nice. I'm really not trying to impress anyone, but I do notice that when I look better, I feel better, and this often leads to a good day. Here's what I wore to work today:
Outfit:
-Top: Express
-Jeans: Express
-Boots: White Mountain brand from DSW
(And of course, Augie's head snuck into the picture)

Eyes:
-Lorac Primer
Easy Peasy Winged Eyeliner
Going over any kind of black liner (liquid, gel, or pencil) with an angled brush and black eyeshadow helps to soften the look and smooth out any bumps. I recently purchased the Makeup Geek Eyeshadow in the color Corrupt, which is a SUPER black black. It's by far the most smooth and pigmented black shadow I've ever seen.
I decided to put this to the test and see if it could perform as a good eyeliner on its own. And sure enough, it did.
This was the quickest and most fool proof way I've ever found to do winged liner. I just swept an angled brush (my faithful Sedona Lace Small Angled Brush E561) through the eyeshadow, drew it on, and voila. It looks soft, yet due to the awesome pigmentation of the shadow, it still looks defined. If you have a hard time with your winged eyeliner, definitely give this technique a try. You can use any black or brown eyeshadow, but I would HIGHLY recommend the Makeup Geek shadows--obviously by the sheer number of shadows I used in this look, you can tell I love them. They're cheaper than MAC's shadows but just as good (in fact, I think they're even more pigmented).
Thank you for reading. Hope you're all having a great week!!
