I’ve been relishing in the tonal variations of the neutral
eye shadows in my collection this month, and even more so since I’ve been
focused on teaching. With less time for intricate blending and the like, I have
come to appreciate the ease and beauty of these shades. Once again my Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze is among my
favourites, especially when layered under Maybelline
Silken Taupe to create an icy neutral sort of eye look.
Burberry has also
been gracing my lids often, with my two pans (Pale Barley & Rosewood)
getting quite a workout during April. I love how long these shadows last on my
lids without creasing, and they are so quick to blend that I hardly have to
work on them in the early morning, pre-coffee haze.
Liner is another eye product that is fast becoming one of
the most exciting parts of my makeup routine, despite it once being something I
rarely reached for. The Australis Curve
Ink* still impresses me with its amazing lasting power and easy to use
(though unusual) packaging. For pencil I’ve been loving Hot Chocolate from
essence, which is a self-sharpening chocolate stick that I’ve been using
lightly along my lash line to create a nice shape and intensify my mascara as well.
Speaking of mascara, I’ve been loving my Covergirl Clump Crusher, using my Face of Australia Impact Curl mascara
coating my lower lashes daily. I know a
lot of people aren’t a fan of lots of mascara on the bottom lashes, but I love
the way it opens my eyes right up. I feel as though I can wear less makeup on
the rest of my face when I use mascara on my lower lashes, so I have been using
it for the majority of this month.
So April is wrapped up, a month of lots of lashes, liner
galore and pretty neutral shadows to cover my lids. I hadn’t planned on having
an eye centred favourites list for this month, but things happen!
How often do you wear mascara on your lower lashes?
Are you a liquid liner or pencil gal?
