I spent an inordinate amount of time this week in stinky workout pants as well as tee shirts covered in infant food. Or, I dunno…sometimes it’s been my food, to be honest.
No reason in particular. It’s just been one of those weeks.

But, ya know, at least I’ve had stylish eye makeup. I’ve been doing this thing where I utilize eyeshadow as well as an angled clean instead of pencil liner to line my upper lash lines, as well as I’ve been doing it since I haven’t been sleeping well, which implies Dark Circle City.
When my dark circles are darker than usual, I’ll avoid lining my lower lash lines, even though I typically like a bit smoke or even a pop of color down there, since man! — when I look tired, if I add anything to that lower lash line area, it just looks worse.

First, since I like that somewhat diffused look, which is simpler for me to finish with an eyeshadow as well as a clean than a pencil eyeliner all by itself.
Second, as well as I don’t understand if this is just me, however there’s a process when I utilize a pencil. It isn’t just get as well as go. many of the time, the one I want to utilize is boring from the day before, so I have to sharpen it.
Then, I have to truly thoroughly draw a thin line along my upper lash lines with it, since I like those nice, thin liner lines. however then I have to diffuse the edges of the lines with a brush, so…it still includes utilizing a brush, even when I’m utilizing a pencil.
Instead, with an angled clean as well as an eyeshadow, all I have to do is dip my clean into the shadow, provide it a spritz with MAC Fix+, as well as kind of tap it along my lash lines.
It’s simpler to get the type of look I typically like, as well as I believe it’s even quicker than utilizing a pencil.
Plus, you know, with makeup, it’s all about the fine details, like the subtlety of your gradients as well as the values as well as colors moving from dark to light, as well as I believe that when you have gradients in subtle places, like in the edge along your lash line, it can truly make your general look much more elegant.
