This is a quick tutorial on how I do my makeup everyday for work. I use the same 4 step formula for my eyeshadows and then just switch it up with different colours for a bit of variety throughout the week. The four steps are:
1. Apply matte brown shadow to your crease
2. Apply darker shadow to outer corner of eyelid
3. Apply a highlighter underneath the brow bone
4. Pat a shimmery (or satin) shadow on the inner 2/3's of your eyelid
I finish up with liner and mascara. I like this look because it is fast, office appropriate, and still pretty and polished! Hope you guys enjoy (please see below for my suggestions for different colour/brand options)!
