Like, no joke, I believe I should be the slowest person on this earth when it concerns blending eyeshadow, since you understand those truly very mixed eye makeup looks? — they take forever.

Sometimes I’m okay keeping that as well as all the blending as well as gradients, as well as I believe it’s worth all the effort, however in some cases I’m not. in some cases I just wanna throw a bit makeup on my eyes as well as get on with my life already.
When that happens, particularly when I likewise want to take pics as well as still want to look polished as well as not like I’m intentionally avoiding blending, I get two or much more similar eyeshadows in the same, or practically the same, color family, like two browns (one somewhat darker than the other) or two close shades of practically the exact same intensity, like the warm brown I’m using in my crease in the top picture with a soft gold on my lids.
It’s type of obvious, however in some cases I still fail to remember that it’s just A great deal simpler to perfectly blend similar colors (like two similar browns) than it is to blend extremely contrasting colors (like black as well as white) on totally opposite ends of the spectrum, so I can still produce a buffed-out, mixed eye look in a great deal less time.
Next time you’re having a lazy makeup moment however still want to wear something mixed with much more than one eyeshadow, provide it a try. just look for two or much more similar eyeshadow shades in your collection.

P.S. completely unrelated to makeup, however this is MBB, so when has that ever stopped me? LOL! Last weekend we rented The Water Diviner on iTunes. It’s a historical drama starring Russell Crowe (he likewise directed it) that takes location just after world war I. Russell plays an Australian farmer who heads to Turkey searching for his three sons who went off to fight in the war.

It’s not precisely groundbreaking cinema, however it’s completely watchable as well as (I don’t believe this ruins it) has a wonderful ending. If you ever just want to throw something up on the TV that you can view with your parents or youngsters up in the mix as well as not awfully upset anyone, I believe it’s a great option.
Also, this tune that plays during the credit ratings at the end of the film has been stuck in my head for days. It’s called like Was My Alibi.
Isn’t this pretty? I’ve been listening to it best before I go to sleep at night, as well as once again very first thing in the morning (I believe it was co-written by Russell Crowe).
