The Lazy Guide To: Eyes


There's no swerving the fact that I'm a lazy person. Whether it be rushed mornings from sleepless nights or simply not having the effort to... well, make an effort. I like to have eye products at hand that can offer quick application whilst still maintaining the 'put together' look I so often yearn for. 

TopShop Eye Crayons
These have cropped up in a few of my posts already, but I can't look past the sheer brilliance of these eye crayons. Easy to blend and lasts all day on the lids, I really need to get my hands on more of the shade range. 

Maybelline Colour Tattoos
I'm sure every man, women.. dog has heard of, tried or already loved these cream shadows. 'On and On Bronze' has made quite the name for itself to say the least and I totally get the hype. Once again, a quick swipe and smudge on the lids adds a little more definition. 

Bare Minerals Loose Shadow in 'Velvet Mauve'
This is handy when wanting to achieve a smoky, grungier  look. Being a loose shadow, it can be easily blended, and so if partnered with a MAC 217, absolutely nothing can go wrong. Well, except if you spill it. 

Rimmel ScandalEyes Shadow Paints
Holding a lipgloss-esque application, it can seem a tad strange at first glance. However, I think it gives a little more precision when applying to the lids, much like the crayons. These don't budge so are great for winter weather and give a more opaque metallic finish.

  4. I'm so lazy I rarely even bother to apply more than mascara to my eyes. I think because I find eyeshadows don't suit me I just avoid using them.
    I have a few eyeshadow sticks and a Colour Tattoos shade which I haven't yet used so I may just have to!

  5. Awesome post, I find that from the ones I've tried that you've mentioned, not only are the quick and simple to use but they are also total game changers and make us lazy gals look like we've bothered #WINNING
