Calm Before the Storm.

Monsoon season is upon us. Its my favorite part of the year! I love the rain. :) Zachary and I often play soccer in it if it rains heavy enough. But careful, he cheats. (And by he, I mean we.) So all this thunder and lightning inspired to post one of my regular 'go to' looks. I do this makeup at least once a week. Its really nice when you are in a rush and you need to do your makeup in 30 seconds or less. Its like a day time/casual smokey eye so its great for work or shopping or whatever your activity may consist of.

You are going to need:
-black eye liner
-silver/gray shadow

-black mascara

- your regular makeup and tools

Do your normal beauty routine (foundation and whatever else you do) Rim the water lines of your eyes. Then apply the gray or silver shadow from your lash line to your crease. Also place it under your bottom lashes. Blend outward towards the ends of your brows to give a more winged look. Apply mascara and curl your eyelashes! Separate them with a sharp object and clean up any mascara that stuck to your lids. Apply another coat of mascara. Viola! You are done.

Do be careful that your shadow isn't too light. Otherwise, it may come off a touch trashy. To take it to a nighttime look, simply add a darker gray or black shadow to the crease and blend. Do you like this look? Thoughts on storms?? I love gloomy days. :) What do you do on rainy days?

Love, Mika.
