Lucy Jo's little gems: EOTD :)

So we've all heard of face of the day, lip of the day, outfit of the day, nail of the day etc. Just to put a different slant on things, here is my eye of the day :)

Let me know if we shall make this a regular occurance..

It's a simple smokey brown eye, which I think looks more hard work than it actually is!

The eyeshadows used all came from an Elegant Eyes Chilli Pepper palette, in 'Slate'

I'm not sure if it is still available, but they do have a bigger palette which looks to me like it might contain the same colours. Take a peek here.

Some quick swatches are below..

L-R - 1, 2, 3, 4

L-R - 4, 3, 2, 1

L-R - 1, 2, 3, 4

Using the applicator that came along in the palette, I coated the eye lid in number 3, followed by a gentle smudge of number 1, (again all over the lid). Number 4 was dabbed graciously in the outer 1/2 of the lid, with a dusting of number 2 smudged into the crease.

With the eye lashes curled, I coated them with mascara, and lined the tight-line and water-line with a black eye pencil. Finally added a touch of Benefit's bright eye pencil to the inner corner of the eyes. And voila! ..a simple and easy to apply look, that can be subtle enough for the day, but can be glammed up for the night. (see below)

Products Used:
Elegant Eyes Chilli Pepper Palette, in 'Slate'
Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara (have been using this for over 30 days now, and have seriously noticed an improvement! See my reviews here and here.)
Benefit's Eye Bright
Estee Lauder Artist's Eye Pencil in 'Soft Smudge Black'

For a quick day to night change, I would pop on some of FYF's Couture Pout Mineral Lipstick in 'Natalie', and a smooth all over coating of their Radiant Eye Shadow in 'Moon Beam' to add a little sparkle..
