Simple Work Neutral Eye Look

Here is the video where I got my inspiration from. This is a re-creation of Xteeener's "Neutral Eyes and Deep Berry Lips" look. Xteeener is one of my favorite Youtube guru.

I tried this look for work today and I think it is totally office appropriate. I did not necessarily use the exact same products.





Here is the list of products I used to recreate the look

UDPP- to prime my eyes
ELF Duo Eye Shadow Cream in Butter Pecan (the lighter shade all over the lid)
NYX Champagne all over the eye lid
NYX Dark Brown on the crease
MAC Vanilla Pigment as Highlight and very lightly on the inner corner
Coastal Scents Gel Eye Liner in Black
ELF Eye Lash Curler
L'oreal Telescopic Mascara in Black Brown

I did not do berry lips like how Xteeener did in the video. I just went for a neutral pink lips.

NYC Lips- LOTD from past 2 days

NYC Pink Gold and 410B. I love both these colors. I applied a little bit of matching gloss just enough to give my lips some moisture and shine.

What do you think? Which one looks better on me?. For reference my lips are very pigmented and my skin tone is NC42.

EOTD- Dramatic Blue Eyes using CS 88 Original Palette

I love this look. I tried this out for the first time and it turned out pretty decent. Perfect for a night out.

Products I used to achieve this look

Coastal Scents 88 Original Palette-
Colors Used- R7C6 all over the lid and on the inner lower lash line, R8C6 on the crease/outer corner and outer lower lash line, black just to darken up the outer corner(R stands for Row and C stands for Column)

NYX Champagne under the brow bone

Coastal Scents Gel liner in Black

Revlon Colorstay Eye pencil in Black on the lower waterline

ELF eyelash curler

Maybelline Define-A-Lash Volume Mascara in Very Black

After taking the pictures I realized that my brows are just blah...I should have filled my brows. I am on the look out to find the perfect color to fill my brows. Almost all the colors that I tried does not look natural on me..Anyone got any recommendations for me?

ELF Drama

Check out Emily's YT video on how to achieve a $2 smokey eye

I love all her videos. She is amazing.

I have the ELF quad in Drama and I thought I will give this look a shot and this is how it turned out to be. I did not have the ELF's base and used NYX black bean instead. By the way this is my first attempt to try out a smokey eye look. And I was very lazy I just tried on one eye:P just so that I can put a picture on my blog

Neutral Eyes

This is what I wore to work today. Please excuse the unkempt brows.
