SQMT--Super Quick Makeup Tips: Black, Brown, Then Back Around

Hey Cool Pinks,

OK, so here's the deal. You want to add some definition to your eyes. But you don't want to look like you're getting ready for a drag show. Or, maybe...listen, we don't judge here--we just want you to look great. But we may need to have a small conference about your choices at a later date.

Anywho, here's your Super Quick Makeup Tip--Black and Brown Eyes!. I know it sounds weird, but trust me, it's uber-cute. And you can do it in, like, 3 minutes :)

First, prime your eyelids with a mixture of your makeup primer and a concealer that is a few shades lighter than your skin (any MAC primer works great for this, and you can combine it with a cheap concealer like e.l.f., which is like $2 at Target. Yes, y'all lol)

Then,  give your lashes a few coats of mascara (CoverGirl mascara is my pick if you don't want to spend a lot--it's usually not over $10 at the drugstore)

Apply strip lashes if you want your lashes to be fuller and the mascara just isn't doin' it for you (I'll post tutorial on this soon :))

Then, use liquid eyeliner in an oak brown shade for the bottom of your eye. That's right--the bottom. This will make your eyes pop without giving them too much "smoke." It will give you just enough definition, and will provide a nice contrast to your dark lashes.

Add black eyeliner to the top of your eye, right along the strip lash line.

Dab some more concealer along your brown line with a brush for more definition. No eyeshadow needed for this look!

Here's the finished product! What do you think? Once you try the look, send me your pics so I can feature you in Super Quick Makeup Tips! Until then, stay cool--and pink:)
