Day to Night look- fast!

The finished evening eye

Yesterday I posted my review of the Maybelline Crown Jewels Trio with pictures. I wore this look all day, and then for going out in the evening, instead of starting all over, I just built on to what I had and was ready for date night in five minutes!


Here are some pictures of the day look, using the Maybelline set.

To go from day to night, I took a dark shimmery brown and used a makeup brush to follow my natural crease.

 I then took a soft shimmer baby pink and applied to my lids and blended. The purple from the day started to fade away with all the blending, but I was happy with the effect. I then lined my eyes with a white pencil and put some white powder in the inner corners of my eyes and finished with another layer of mascara. Before we left for the evening, I powdered my face (Not pictured). This took about all of five minutes, and I was ready for the movies. The Planet of the Apes sequel, whatever it's called. It was good, by the way. Definitely something to see in the theater because the big screen and loud sound is important in this movie! 

Sunsetting Shots

 Last night our family friend and babysitter came over for some shots and nachos and babysitting and....makeup! I know, what a weird combo, right? Well we are weirdos, what can I say. Fun is a requirement no matter what I am doing, so that's what will be had! And I demand no less, lol.
Anyhow, we took our shots and at some point, I asked her if she had anywhere to go later, because if she ended up looking crazy after I put her makeup on, well, that would be not so funny. She said no, and we decided that being buzzed made our eyelids feel "twinkley", and it was time to get going with this little thing because my husband and I had a movie to catch.
Emily has deep-set eyes, and this was a new one for me. I gave her sunset colors layered up to her brow, and bright berry lips, and for the circumstances (ahem-whiskey shots!), I think we came out alright! :-P

Maybelline Crown Jewels Trio

 Good morning! And it's the weekend. Woo!!! Time to relax, recharge, and play. I promised to do a Glamour Doll Eyes review, as well as owe you some Jordana swatches.I will have these up by the end of this weekend.
Still awaiting my package from Antoinette's Revolution Cosmetics, so another Indie brand review coming your way!

This is my look for work today. I used a Maybelline Trio called "Crown Jewels." The colors in the palette are soft and warm, with lots of sparkle in the sun. It's a great combo for people with Hazel eyes. There is a pinkish shade, a mauve color, and a color I find hard to describe, I guess I would call it a frosty petal champagne shade. LoL.
This mini-palette makes it a no-brainer to apply; the wors "lid", "crease" and  "browbone" are imprinted right on the shadows.
I like this set for work and for an everyday, casual look.
However, I do find that I have to be aggressive with the picking-up and application of the product to get the pigment I really want.
It's a nice trio to keep in the purse in case of on-the-go primping or a beauty emergency, but if you are someone who is more experienced with makeup, this may be a little too basic and color-starved.
Overall, I do like this product, I just wish the colors picked up easier. Tip: definitely throw down a base before applying to bring the colors up.
