Simple Smokey liner with Glitter

This is the type of simple look I wear when I still want to look presentable, but either don't have the time or don't feel the need to go somewhere all glammed up. This was for a Dr. appt so I definitely didn't feel the need to wear a dramatic look. I basically used a black powder to line my eyes, winged it outward, then blended it to soften the harsh edges. Then I added a glitter liner on top for a little extra pop. :-)

 

 
I made zee necklace.

  2. Crazy with all the makeup I own, I seriously just bought my first NYX single eyeshadow. I don't know why I waited so long. Nude Skin was one of the singles I picked up. It looks like a great flesh tone color. This is a pretty look. I can honestly say for the months and months I've read your blog, you've never had a flop.
