Natural Eye Makeup with Urban Decay & Benefit (Review)
Most
days, I don't have much time to do my makeup. In the mornings I have
to wake up early and go to work, and being in a school means I'd
better avoid heavy makeup looks - I'll leave the tons of highligther
to my teenage girls students! So today I'm sharing with you the eye
makeup duo that has become my favourite for low key makeup days.
At
Christmas, my dad got me the Roller Lash mascara by
Benefit and the 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencil in
Underground by Urban Decay - well, he came with me to
Sephora and waited for me pick what I wanted basically. We all know that dads are not
the best with makeup haha! I picked these two products with the idea of
using them together, and this is what I've been doing recently. I use
the Urban Decay pencil as eyeliner and under the eye. Brown liner
looks much more natural than black, and the sparkles in this
particular shade Underground make the eyes pop and catch the
light nicely.
Roller
Lash is my favourite mascara ever, and you must understand why! It
makes the lashes quite long and separates them really well. I love the fact that
it's not clumpy at all - thin plastic brushes are great if you don't
want a lot of thickness. In these photos I am wearing only one coat,
and this is all that's needed for natural lashes that still have some
length and volume.
To
finish off the look I just added a light gold eyeshadow on the brow
bone, which is a must-do if you want a bright, healthy-looking
finish.
Slightly
off-topic, but to complete the look I am wearing the NYX
Lingerie liquid lipstick in the shade Teddy,
mainly because it matches the jumper I was wearing. I wouldn't wear
this shade on a school day! [Read a full review of the NYX Lingerie lipsticks here.]
If you want to go for an all natural look, a nude lipstick would be perfect. But with such a toned-down eye makeup, you could go with bright red lipstick and look fabulous!

I always wear black liner, I am not one for the natural eye. And I own Roller Lash as well, but I am not convinced. It clumpsmhorribly whenever I try to build it up.

It's a shame Roller Lash makes your lashes clumpy, that's surprising! Maybe you have to be quick and build it up before it dries out. xx
