One-Minute Smokey Eye

Hi Makeup Geeks! Today I have a very easy and simple video for you all. This is something great to do when you are in a rush but still want to look polished and put together. It’s very simple and takes hardly anytime at all and you only need a couple of products to still look amazing! 🙂

  • Maybelline Color Tattoo  – Rich Mohogany – (Amazon) (eBay)
  • Makeup Geek Eyeshadow – Beaches & Cream – (Pan Version / Compact Version)
  • Makeup Geek Eyeshadow  – Frappe – (Pan Version / Compact Version)
  • Makeup Geek – Outer V Brush  (Makeup Geek Store)

1min-smokey

See, a perfect smokey eye in no time at all! You can switch up the colors of the cream shadow you use and make this a different look anytime. And by just adding a crease color and a highlight shade, you can transition this look from office/day to a night out.

Have a great week, muggies!
Much love,
Marlena

Taylor Swift at the ACM 2012

Taylor Swift has worn some beautiful makeup looks, but this gold looks is one of my favorites!  I love how simple yet stunning this makeup is against her blue eyes.  I wanted to recreate this look using inexpensive products, so I pulled out my ELF 144 neutral palette. This glamorous look is easy to do and perfect for a day out or a evening with that special someone.  Have fun with your makeup!

xoxo,
Marlena

Hair

Bohemian Look_Hair_New

For the hair you just want to create beachy waves. Use an 1 1/2 inch curling iron and take sections of your hair and with the curling iron open wrap the hair around the iron, away from the face, and hold for about 30 seconds. You could also use a curling wand for this and it would be easier. Once you have your hair curled, use your fingers to break up the curls to achieve those bouncy, beach waves. To finish the hair part, use a elastic head band and wrap around the forehead making sure to pull the hair up slightly at the roots and style it as you like.

Make sure you see this post on Simply Marlena for a breakdown on the outfit and nails.
