FIVE FAVE! | Easy Eyes


I've started using the stopwatch timer on my phone when I begin applying makeup and I've been shocked to discover my typical morning routine takes around 20 minutes, half the time spent on the eyes!  In an effort to save time, I've been reaching for easy, one-step shadows and I thought I'd share my five favorites!

MAC Groundwork Paint Pot.  An incredibly subtle way to define the lid and add a touch of polish.  Apply this matte medium cool brown with your finger and blend out the edges.  DONE.

MAC Jest Eyeshadow. This bubbly shade of pink champagne brightens up the eye area like a cup of morning joe.

Maybelline Color Tattoo Bad to the Bronze.  If you don't own this shadow yet, it deserves a spot on your wish list tout de suite!  This bronzy brown sparkling BEAUTY is brimming with dimension. [Review here]

Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer.  Sometimes you just need a little definition, and what's easier than using your go-to bronzer?  Swirl a fluffy blending brush across the pan and sweep it back and forth on your crease.  The easiest eyeshadow look there is! [Review here]

Urban Decay YDK.  This was one of my first loves in the single-shadow-look game!  It's a glorious bronzy pinkish brown shimmer with so much depth.  I think it's my all-time favorite UD shadow!


What are your five fave "easy eyes"?  How long does it take you to do your makeup in the morning?
