Stepping up your day look to a night look

Start out by choosing a dark shade of brown or a shade of black, I chose handwritten
Take a flat brush and pack that dark color on the lid, all over, and bring it up into the crease

Like so


Add that same shadow to the bottom lash line using a flat brush








Add some black eyeliner to the top lid





Top off with another layer of mascara






add some lipstick with liner and lipgloss and you are ready for a night on the town







10 Minute Beauty Makeup

You will only need 3 brushes to complete this every day beauty make up
First apply your concealer and eye primer (I use the painterly paint pot by MAC)

Then choose a matte beige for the browbone (I used brule) and a shimmery color for the eye lid (dazzlelight)


Then choose a 2 shades of brown..a light and a dark. Any 2 shades will work as long as they are close in color.



Apply the light beige to the brow and the shimmery one to the eyelid using the flat brush for both




Then take your fluffy brush and load it with the lighter brown for your crease. Bring the color almost all the way to the brow bone as shown.






Next, load your brush with the darker brown and place it in the deepest part of your crease. blend upward with the lighter brown.






Add some brown eyeliner to the upper lid, I like lancome's art liner in iced carob





Line the lower lid. I have a round to almond shaped eye, so I stop the liner in the middle so that it gives the appearence of a more almond shape by pulling it up at the edges








Fill in the brows with a shadow the same shade as your hair color using your slanted brush









Add a layer of your favorite mascara, some foundation if you like (I use MAC studio fix powder), blush and some lipgloss.









beautiful, you are ready for the day....more than ready...you are lovely ;0)
