What I'm Loving Wednesday!

Yay, today is my first What I'm Loving Wednesday! This is going to be something that is going to stick around. Basically every Wednesday I am just going to let you all know what I have been loving lately. 


Neutral Eye Shadows
(e.l.f. Natural Eye palette, WNW Silent Treatment, Almay Brighteyes duo: Bronze, WNW Walking on Eggshells, e.l.f. custom quad)

Lately I have been really into neutral shadows. I usually don't use them too often because I love using crazy bright colors. However, I have found myself reaching for neutrals a lot ! Especially my Walking on Eggshells trio from Wet N Wild (I've hit pan on the eyelid and crease color). I how quick and easy it is to do a neutral and it matches anything that you plan to wear that day! It's also great for work because I don't want to wear too much or too bright makeup to work. I also don't want to spend an enormous amount of time on work makeup that's most likely going to melt off my face, haha. Neutrals have definitely been my go to look. I have also been able to experiment with bold lip colors for the pop of color look with the neutral shadows which is also loads of fun!

What have you been loving lately?!

Tutorial:

  • The first thing you want to do is apply the e.l.f. eyelid primer all over your eyelids.
  • Then take the e.l.f. jumbo eyeshadow pencil in French Lace and apply it to 2/3 of your eyelid. Avoid the outer corner area.
