Easy Everyday/Work Makeup

Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog. Hope you had a fantastic week. Mine was a bit stressful, but it's Friday so let the weekend begin.....with makeup ideas for the office! (Say what!) (-_-)
I know on a Friday the last thing you want to hear about is work or school but I'm hoping that this post would give you some ideas for some super easy, very neutral makeup looks for the upcoming week. 
Forewarning: my brows weren't filled in at all this week as I currently have one brow that is wider than the other (don't you just love getting your brows waxed) and also I ran out of brow powder and haven't been able to repurchase any. 


Monday: it's the simplest and quickest look of them all. 
Eyes: 
1. Prime the eye - I used Urban Decay Primer Potion
2. Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze all over the eye, from lash line into crease. I used the Real Techniques Deluxe Crease Brush to apply it.

3. L'Oreal Miss Manga Mascara

Face: (the same for each day) 
1. e.l.f Mineral Face Primer

Apply lipstick straight from the tube, then blot with tissue. Repeat process 3 times, for all day wear. 

Brushes: (considering doing a separate post about my everyday makeup brushes)
Eyes:
For each day, I used the same eye brushes in rotation, and they were all spot cleaned after each use.

2. CALA 311 Blending Brush
3. Real Techniques Deluxe Crease Brush
4. Real Techniques Fine Liner Brush
Face:

This post was originally meant to go live last Friday, but illness and exhaustion prevented me from completing it on time. However, I do have some more wearable, office appropriate looks that I may include in another post because why not?!
Until, next week, I hope you all have a fantastic Easter and if you don't observe Easter, have a fantastic weekend, and I will see you Friday.
Stay happy, stay healthy and stay positive!
Bye (^_^)/
