Bright Eyes

Hi!

This week has been crazy. I started my new internship, I've been babysitting like crazy, my friend Lauren got home from Hawaii, and I took the ACT. Long story short, I haven't been home much and my makeup has been far too boring to post. But maybe I'll start posting normal day looks anyway.

Today though, I did a look that is one of my absolute favorites. I've always loved double wings, I think they look amazing. I'm also a huge sucker for bright pops of color.

I could not take a good picture to save my life this morning. But that's okay.

One thing I think is funny about double wings is when people look at you normally and then they have to do a double take and are like "How did you DO that??"

So, if you are one of those people, here's how:

First, I primed my eyes with Lorac Behind the Scenes Eye Primer. Then I applied Naked by Urban Decay all over my lid, and blended Buck by Urban Decay into my crease (both can be found in the Naked Palette). I used Virgin, also from the Naked Palette, as a highlight in my inner corners and browbone. Then I drew a thick line with Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eyeliner in Turquoise, starting from the middle of my eye and going out toward my temples, then filling in my inner corners. Then, I drew a thin line in the same place with Urban Decay 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in Perversion. I finished up by curling my eyelashes and used Loreal Paris Extra Volume Waterproof Mascara in Blackest Black.

On  my face, I used my New Philosophy Hope in a Jar Moisturizer with SPF 25. I really love this moisturizer, it's not too heavy and it feels refreshing. It's also made my skin super soft, and I would really recommend it if you want a good summer moisturizer with SPF. Then I used some powder just to even out my skin tone a little (just some Covergirl stuff I've had forever). Then I used Clinique Soft Pressed Powder Blusher in Rhubarb, Clinique Up-Lighting Liquid Illuminator in Natural, and Smashbox Bronze Lights Brozeur in Suntan Matte. Bronzeur is what it's actually called. Oh, you fancy Smashbox.

Also, I wanted to show off my new nail polish. My grandma sent this to me and it was a nice surprise!

Sorry about the picture quality. This is OPI's Man With the Golden Gun from the James Bond Collection. Yes, this is the nailpolish that has REAL gold in it. My nails have REAL gold on them. I wanted to do it with a white polish, but I couldn't find it, so I used it with Sephora's Mermaid Tail. It looks pretty good with that too. Definitely my new favorite nail polish (to be used sparingly because REAL ASS GOLD).


So there's my look of the day. I hope you're having an amazing day if you're reading this! What's your favorite look with a bright pop? What do you think of a nailpolish with real gold in it?
