The Eyeshadows I Get the Most Compliments On

| ,

When it comes to my everyday makeup, I definitely have a particular look. A signature style that I have been doing for years and years. While I love wearing a full face, I want everything to look as natural and polished as possible. The eyeshadow colors that I gravitate towards to create this look are all very similar but give the most perfect everyday eye look. I regularly get questions and compliments about my eyeshadow in my social media posts so I thought I would do a roundup of my tried and true signature eyeshadow colors.

Eyeshadows I Get the Most Compliments On

 

Colourpop Eyeshadow Stix in Socialite

I’m a one and done eyeshadow queen so I am always looking for new single shadows to use day to day. This eyeshadow stick formula is creamy and smooth while staying put for the entire day. The shade Socialite is a shimmer finish but looks closer to a satin finish when fully blended on the lids.

 Jones Road Beauty Just a Sec eyeshadow in Golden Peach

I find the best way to apply these are with my finger since they are cream formula. Golden Peach is nicely pigmented and looks so elegant and chic on the lids. Refined shimmer that isn’t too glittery.

MAKE Beauty Multi-Chromatic Eyeshadow in Beam

These shadows will make your eyelids GLISTEN and GLOW! These are richly pigmented from just one swatch. There is a tad bit of fallout so use a light hand when applying. They blend really easily and the shimmer doesn’t sheer out the more you blend it which I personally love.

Armani Eye Tint in 67S

A longgggg time favorite and a formula that many of you have purchased and loved as well. This cream shadow is easy to apply, blend out with your fingers and lasts all day long.

L’Oreal Le Shadow Stick in shade Alluring Rose

Though these are drugstore shadow sticks, they perform just as well as their high-end counterparts. They are smoooth, creamy, long lasting and come in a ton of everyday wearable shades. I also recommend these to any one that struggles with crepey lids because they show very little texture and have a subtle blurring effect. The shade Alluring Rose is a soft satin neutral rose that would make the perfect everyday eyeshadow for work.

Ilia Beauty Eye Stylus Shadow Stick in Adorn

Most of the eyeshadow colors I gravitate towards are champagne or rosy in tone, but I wanted something more in the cool taupe family. This shade was absolutely perfect and applies beautifully.

1. I don’t know if it is the summer heat or my constantly changing perimenopausal hormones, but my hair is drier than it has ever been. I been testing out a few products that can add some moisture back into my hair without weighing it down. I discovered this super lightweight milky leave-in conditioner that I love for using on damp hair after I shower. (use code: MAREE15 to save)

2. If you love a warm and cozy sweet scent for fall/winter, I highly recommend trying this new fragrance from Nest. It’s creamy with a hint of spice – exactly what I want to wear when it starts to get cold.

3. I need an eye cream that does it all and treats ALL the concerns at this point in my life. LOL I ran out of my night time eye cream and have been testing this one in its absence. It has really impressed me!!! Super nourishing yet not too thick. (Use code: MAREES25 to save)

4. One of my go-to fall outfits is always a pair of dark wash denim and a blazer or lady jacket/cardigan. This houndstooth cropped jacket just arrived and the fit is soooo good. A perfect workwear option too!

5. I have tried almost the entire Rhode skincare line except for this moisturizer which I finally ordered after seeing so many rave reviews about it. I used it last night for the first time as my final step in my skincare routine. It is so rich and nourishing – a must try for my dry, mature skin types!

6. Look which luxury fragrance brand just launched at Sephora!!!

7. I love a unique earring shape and these are so cute! I love that the earring post is part of the design.

8. Continuing my love of lightweight printed jackets for fall, I want all the jackets on this page! I bought one of their fall styles last year and wore it non-stop.

9. This new Chanel eyeshadow palette!!! A steep price but these shades are stunning.

10. I saw a girl on Tiktok style these sparkly ear cuffs which can be tricky to pull off. It honestly looked so amazing that I added them to my cart. LOL #easilyinfluenced

How To Create a Basic Makeup Routine

, |

I love doing my makeup every single day. But many people shy away from wearing makeup everyday because they may not want to wear a full face. Having a polished makeup look doesn’t mean you have to wear a dozen products, or spend a long time in front of the mirror. A basic makeup routine can be as effortless or polished as you want it to be. In today’s post, I am going to share a basic makeup routine that that feels natural, flattering, and easy to personalize with your preferences.

The Best Hair Growth Products

I’ve always had relatively thin hair but no major issues when it came to thinning or hair loss. That was until I hit my early 40’s and slowly began seeing the receding of my hair line and some really sparse spots around my face. My ends also became dry and dull, which led me to use hair oils. Whenever I would pull my hair back, I had really severe widows peaks and patches where I was almost bald. Because I wear my hair down most of the time, I was able to hide it but finally decided to see if I could make an effort to grow it back or at least thicken what I had left.

The Take
I didn’t love this book but I didn’t dislike it either. It kept my attention because I wanted to know how it all played out in the end.

When she has the opportunity to work for Ingrid Parker, a top Hollywood producer, Maggie thinks this could be her big break. Except she isn’t going to be doing a conventional job.

I have loved skin care for nearly 10 years and find such joy in doing my skincare routine every morning and evening. I’ve seen amazing results from diligently taking care of my skin and figuring out the right products for my concerns. It can take some time to determine what those products may be and what exactly your skin needs so it’s best to start out slow and small with your skincare routine. First figure out what your skin type is (dry, oily, combination, etc) and then look for products that are suited for that skin type. Once you have identified the basics and built a solid skincare routine, it is fun to explore newer launches and trending ingredients to see what may be a fit for your skin. Technology continues to evolve and skincare products become better and better every year.
