‘Tis the season for all things glam! Whether that’s a big bold lip, a dramatic smokey eye, or head to toe sequins — we all have that ‘thing’ that comes alive during the holiday season. For me, it’s more adventurous makeup looks that also offer skin benefits like hydration!
Although the holidays look a little different this year, it’s always fun to spruce it up. Plus, who’s to say you can’t wear an amazing eye look with your mask?
I’m teaming up with Neutrogena today to share my holiday glam! Since I’m wearing a mask anytime I leave the house, I wanted my eyes to do all the talking. I used the Neutrogena Nourishing Eyeliner in Cosmic Black to create this dramatic sharp wing and I love the way it turned out! This ophthalmologist-tested eyeliner is pigmented, easy to use, and lasts all day. Plus, there are subtle light diffusers within the eyeliner pencil that makes white of the eyes appear whiter, while olive oil and rainforest shea butter add nourishment!
The eyeliner is formulated with powerful ingredients, and each product goes beyond makeup to nourish, protect or enhance the look of your skin. Neutrogena is the #1 dermatologist recommended makeup brand!
How I get a dramatic winged liner using the Neutrogena Nourishing Eyeliner in Cosmic Black .01oz
1. Map out the wing [how big, what angle, thickness]
Tip: I like to use an eyeshadow and a stiff liner brush first to map it out before I go in with the permanent liner. If you make a mistake, it wipes away so easily so it takes some of the stress out of making them even!
2. Flick out the first line
Tip: I usually follow my natural bottom lash line upwards to find my perfect shape
3. Line the upper lid
4. Connect the upper lid liner to the flick point
5. Fill in the missing lid area [should look like a triangle]
Tip: I often use the Neutrogena Makeup Removing Wipes to clean up the edges to ensure the wing is crisp and sharp!
6. Voila!
Truth be told, sometimes I stray away from doing a bold eye look solely because of the makeup removing process. I hate nothing more than feeling like I’m stripping away my eyelashes while trying to remove an eyeliner or mascara. It’s. the. worst!
That’s until I found the Makeup Remover Melting Balm from Neutrogena — it’s a heaven sent! The balm transforms to a luxurious oil to effortlessly melt off makeup and leaves the skin feeling nourished and hydrated. I was so excited when I found this at Walmart!
How I use the Neutrogena Makeup Remover Melting Balm
1. It’s so simple, yet so effective! First, I take a dime size of the balm and start working it onto my dry skin [dry skin is key!].
2. Once I see the product start breaking up, I begin washing my face as normal.
3. Before you know it, all of your makeup has effortlessly washed off and your left with nourished skin and no black eye smears!
4. Told you it was easy!
This process has been such a game changer because I feel confident knowing that all of my stubborn makeup has been removed from my face before going to sleep. The powerful yet gentle Makeup Remover Melting Balm contains leaves skin feeling nourished and rejuvenated.
