FROM OFFICE TO PARTY IN 5 MINUTES--REALLY

It’s the end of the day and youre leaving your job for a party--why do you have to do a whole new face of makeup. When its time for a party think ahead when applying your daytime makeup, that will give you a great base for evening.  For day: a great foundations and powder job will seal the deal and a clean sexy look for the office a little shimmer, some eyeshadow etc will help make your transition into night take you 5 minutes. So now its time to head to the ladies room and get ready for the office party and “Voila” within a matter of 5 minutes you’ve changed your look.  I came up with this when I worked in corporate america.  After I had done all the girls makeup for our night out I had 5 minutes to do my own, normally in the dark and in the back of the cab-hahaha 

Pull out that jumbo pencil (BTW doesn’t have to be black) and line the top lid, smudge up and out ( don't go above the crease)—this creates a gradient effect on the eye. Were not trying to fill the whole lid with color. Then add a little on the bottom lash line—(I say a little ladies) smudge


Color combinations you can try--Green Eyes try purple, Blue Eyes I suggest a rich cognac-y brown, Brown Eyes --your guys are lucky, colors just look great around your eyes--no matter what I happen to like a smokey blue or grey
  

THE LOOK-
 (BTW nothing changed except her eye makeup)

Here all I did was smoke out the eyes--brown/black on top and a brown/cognac color with a hint of purple was applied on the bottom. To make this look easy I suggest buying a fabulous jumbo eyeshadow pencil, lining all around the eye. I kept the concentration of color to the outer corners of the eyes. Notice the water line is lined in white pencil, but you just as easily can add black brown etc for that extra smokey look. Curl lashes and give it an extra coat of mascara and the whole look changes.   To polish off the look add more shimmer to the t-zone (with a shimmer jumbo pencil), lip gloss and blot you're done 5 MINUTES

 Do a practice run and see how fast you can do this look--and have fun trying
