This makeup look came about when, one day I thought, ‘Why do I always panic when I only have 10 minutes to do my makeup and don’t know what to choose?‘. The answer to that is because I’ve never stopped to plan a quick Evening Makeup look. I have plenty of daytime looks planned, and even elaborate looks that take at least an hour to do, but nothing for a quick Evening Makeup. So I decided to stop and plan this look, whilst I have the time. That way, when the day comes and I have 10 minutes to get ready, I won’t have to panic.

The beauty of this look is on how little it took to achieve it. I used the same eyeshadow all over the lids, on the inner corner of my eyes and as brow bone highlighter. To add a bit of drama, I did quite a thick line on my upper lash line using gel eyeliner, a thin line on my waterline using kohl eyeliner and a dark brown eyeshadow on my lower lash line. I also used the same dark brown eyeshadow to fill in my eyebrows :)

Apart from the eyes, the other highlight of the look is the glossy pink lips. I ditched the lipstick for a New CID pink lipgloss, which contrasts well with the dark eye makeup and brightens up my face.

Verdict time: Do you like what I came up with for a quick evening makeup look? What products to do you rely on for quick and effective looks? Do tell!

Au revoir!
