Favorite Everyday Makeup Look

Hello there blogger world :) I hope everyone had a gorgeous day!

Recently, I haven't been putting much effort into my makeup (because it is summer break and I have had no reason to leave the comfort of my own bed), but today I felt a little jolt of inspiration! My lovely mother and I took a trip up to Irvine and did some shopping at the Spectrum (absolutely breathtaking outdoor mall might I add) and I wanted my makeup to look natural, but still defining. That being said, I decided on this look!

(no, my camera is not the best quality)

I actually started doing this look around the beginning of Spring this year, and I fell in love with it immediately! It's quick, easy, and it looks great! It's natural, but it still catches the eye. I've always that that light lids, darker creases, and liquid eyeliner looks amazing. 

(me eyeballs... still bad pic quality)

In order to achieve my (current) favorite natural look:

 ♥ I ALWAYS begin with my Too Faced Candlelight illuminating eyeshadow primer. It softly illuminates my lids and holds the shadow very nicely :)

♥I swipe the 1st and 3rd shades on the top row of my Maybelline The Nudes pallet across my lids, the 1st shade on the bottom row of the pallet along my crease, and the 2nd shade on the bottom row of the pallet in the very corners of my crease. I also use the first shade on the top row to highlight my brow bones. The light lids and darker creases gives the eye a pop without overpowering with shadow. I love it :)

♥I use my Revlon Colorstay Skinny liquid liner in blackout to give myself a thin cat eye. the corners of my eyes sort of point downwards, so I quite like doing cat eyes to kind of bring them back up and shape my eyes. The thin liner is not at all overpowering, and beautifully subtle!
♥Last but not least, I use my Maybelline Lash Sensational mascara in Very Black at the base of my lashes, because it seems to thicken them very nicely. I then run my Maybelline Pumped Up mascara in Very Black through to the tips of my lashes, because it nicely fans them out and isn't too thick at the tips.

And here's a pic of my lips cause I'm really loving this lipstick right now!
This is the Revlon Colorstay Ultimate Suede in Runway. I really enjoy it because it is smooth on application and it dries so that you hardly feel that it's still on! I suppose it is more of a lip stain type thing because the color really does stay! It has sort of an orangey undertone, and the color is not too bold, which fits nicely with the natural eye look :)

Voilà! I hope everyone enjoyed the multiple pics of my face haha
