Confession: I’m not the most time-conscious person. To help combat this, I have several things that I’ve purposely become habitual with. One of them: my makeup routine. However, special occasions call for a different look.

One way that I create an evening look is by applying more daring eyeshadow colors. Pictured here are three of my favorites: Loreal’s Infallible continuous cocoa; gilded navy; and endless pearl.

To seal the color and provide long-lasting smudge proof wear, I first apply a thin layer of eyelid primer. As you already know, I’m an ELF fan; at just $2 for a tube, who wouldn’t be?
