Hey everyone!
So I know these 2 looks aren't that special, but I decided to share them anyways. These were looks I've worn during the "daytime" or just out with friends, but I wanted some colour that wasn't too overpowering and that was still fresh. The first one I wore a soft green all over the lid blended out with some brown, and liner on the top only. The second one was a neutral look using the Urban Decay NAKED palette, and I added the aqua liquid liner on top and bottom lashes for some color. I think trying one of these ways is a nice way to wear color throughout the day or even for university. I hope you like them!
*Also, I love using the Kiehl's mineral mascara for everyday wear. I've noticed I barely lose any lashes when I take it off. It feels really light and gives the lashes a natural, defined look without being clumpy. I save Covergirl Lash Blash mascara and others for when I really want the lashes to look defined and heavier.

Smashbox Zoom e/s [lid]
MAC Soft Brown e/s [crease]
MAC Brown Script e/s [to deepen crease a bit]
Urban Decay Perversion liquid liner

Hey everyone! So I really love Kim Kardashian's makeup, and I love trying to recreate her looks. I think she's gorgeous and even though she comes off pretty ditzy, I think she has a killer style. I tried to do a soft smokey look not based off of a specific picture, but off of her look in general. I noticed in her pictures that she often likes to keep a lighter color on the lid with some darkness in the corners, and then goes very heavy on the lashes and liner. I paired it with just a lip liner and lip gloss on top (I've been doing the liner/gloss combination a lot lately, it looks great and lasts quite a while!)
Tip: If you want to keep this look appropriate for "day wear," I'd skip the black kohl liner in the waterline and replace it with a beige or soft white one, which will give it a softer and more fresh look.
I tried to only use the Urban Decay Naked palette for the eyeshadows in this look, since I was looking at it and thinking how Kim Kardashian-y the colours were. Ha ha =)
