Shining bright..

Hi Gorgeous,


What a weekend.., what a weather! Hope your weekend is so far so good!
But any weekend really is good to go on a date with your babe or hang out with your besties! This weekend as I was getting ready myself I've decided to do a small Get Ready With Me. When it comes to makeup for a date, romantic dinner or just a time with your man, it is completely up to you. Sometimes I prefer to have very strong, dramatic makeup, the other day I will want a look full of glow and very soft. It all depends on the mood. I think most of us will be this same. Same story when it comes to clothes- there will be days when ball gowning is just about meeting the criteria and days when PJ's are the most suitable outfit. I call it balance, and I think we all need this in our lives.
This makeup look is very easy to create and good news for those of you who don't have stable hand to do perfect eyeliner flick. It will be all blended so don't mind if your line isn't the best it doesn't matter. How good does it sound? From the other hand this is very classy and polished look.
I know time can be very important especially when you are running late and you still want to look your best. This is another advantage of this makeup - doesn't required hours and any special makeup stuff.
Eye makeup is simple, but still eye catching. I like when eyeliner line is blended, because it gives this mystery and sexy look. Kind of smokey, and way easier than classic eyeliner with flick.
I haven't apply anything on underneath the eyes, not even a mascara. I left it bare and that was my plan.
Skin is glowy and dewy- my favorite. Lips I did in neutral color as I think ahead, I don't want to keep thinking of fixing the lipstick, I would like to enjoy the time without worrying about how do I look like or if is it still some lip liner or lipstick left. With this makeup falsies are optional. If your lashes are not too long,they are a key to achieve fan of lashes. Contouring, blush and highlighter I've applied like always. I do add now a bit more bronzer to give my skin this sun kissed look as it is not as tanned as the rest of my body.
This makeup look shouldn't take you too long but the final effect will surprise you. If you have deep-set eyes this makeup is ideally for you, because it will bring them even further in,. For any other eye-shape this makeup will be great! Lashes always help to bring the eye outwards and open it more. If you want more round eye shape use lashes with the longest part in the center of stripe. If you want more cat eye look just buy the lashes with longer outer corners.
As you probably realize by now I use pretty much this same makeup stuff. I don't like buying new things if I know I can't use them within best before. I am looking at few new things and I will get them soon probably, but eye-shadow can be used in long period of time. I keep an eye on new foundations too, but I have so many of them open, I don't like to waste makeup products.
So list of makeup stuff will be very similar to others but from the other point of view I take it as an advantage, because I get as much from any makeup product as I can. And it is a good news for you. because there is no need to buy new stuff all the time.

Hope you like this makeup look, if you do and you would like to recreate this look just please tag me on your picture #inspiredbymonikamatysmua
