three step eyes

my daily eye makeup routine consists of three easy steps. it's quick, easy, and the perfect amount of eye makeup for the day-to-day. and, if you need to take this look from day to night, all you need to do it freshen up the eyeliner and add a little shadow to your lid. perfect.

1. start with these three items: mascara, eyeliner, and a small angled brush
mascara: CoverGirl professional super thick lash
eyeliner: Mark no place to run eyeliner
brush: e.l.f. (Target) small angled brush

2. gently swipe your eyeliner just above your eyelashes, creating a visible line.

3. using your angled brush, gently smudge the line. this makes for a more natural eyeliner look.

4. once you have your eyeliner smudged, you're ready for mascara.

5. apply mascara to top and bottom lashes. i use two coats of mascara but do not use an eyelash curler.

6. once your mascara is on, you're finished and ready to go!

  13. I love your long lashes, I have to use a curler to look like I have any length or curl, but I might have to check out that mascara.

  18. I'd love a tutorial on what you do for face-makeup every day. Or maybe you've already posted something like that? I'm jealous of your long eyelashes!

  19. Have you tried tightlining your top lashes? It's kinda life-changing. Instead of slapping on a ton of eye makeup, I now usually use a light shimmery shadow, tightline, then do a teeny thin cat-eye line over that before mascara.
