Quick Cat Eye To The Rescue!

Hiiiii!

This week at work (day job) has been nuts and it's only Tuesday. Deadlines pushed up, quick presentations thrown together, under the gun cut offs...it's been terribly stressful. So, I've been getting ready extra quick in the mornings so I can get a head start on my day at the office. A cat eye hides the fact that I had 5 minutes to put all my makeup on, plus it lasts all day long (yes after the gym too bc I never take my makeup off to workout, whoops). Here's my quick cat eye breakdown since I'm sure a couple of you are also feeling the pressure around this week and might need a quicker makeup routine too. Here's my go-to look:

Makeup you'll need (all mostly within my makeup capsule too, yay!):

-SPF moisturizer HERE (or get it at Costco for way cheap)
-Under eye concealer (optional, use if you have dark circles) HERE
-BB cream HERE (remember how my skin was all weird and peeling?! Only this works)
-Bronzer HERE
-Blush (use the same brush as your bronzer one for quicker application) HERE (no brush link bc mine's super old)
-Eyebrow brush (angled) HERE and eyebrow shadow HERE
-Pale pink eyeshadow (I used BOOTYCALL in my Naked 2 Palette by Urban Decay) HERE, best investment ever!
-Liquid eyeliner (long wear preferred) HERE
-Mascara (also long wear) HERE (ran out of the one from my capsule, and this one was on super sale, so I got it in Carbon Black for about $3 #score)


Here's my face with all this stuff jammed on it (*apologies for the low quality, I had my flash off since I was at my desk at work, and my hair is still a little damp from washing it this morning. I of course didn't do shit to it ha!). 

Close-up! That eyebrow just wants to lift up for some reason.

Chapstick only, but a lip stain would look great with this look.

Works great with goofy faces too! Tested a few out for ya ;)


Tried to get a side-look shot since my uber hooded eye lids get in the way sometimes. #alsobigforehead

And that's it! Really quick if you've been practicing your cat eyes. Seriously, it used to take me forever to get those right, and now it's like I'm on auto pilot when I apply them. They aren't perfect by any means, but I'm happy enough with them now in the first swipe to wear them for the day. Do it everyday for a week and you'll know what I mean, I promise!

Alright, back to the grind.
