Any eye look that requires non-stop blending or an intro art class prerequisite should be nowhere near your weekend casual look. Instead of laboring over a cat or smoky eye, simply frame for your face with defined eyebrows to look put together without relying on half of your makeup bag.
1. Use a brow comb to brush your brows in the direction of growth, then clean up any strays using a tweezer.
2. Next, use Glimmersticks Brow Definer, $6, to fill in and feather your brows from the inner corners to the upper arches using small strokes.
3. Use the fine tip of the brow liner to elongate your brows as desired.
4. Finish by using an angled eyeliner brush to blend the powdery texture of the pencil further into your brow.
Skip the heavy layers of foundation, concealer, and powder and let your skin breathe with the bare minimum. Smooth MagiX Face Perfector, $10, onto clean, dry skin and you're done. The colorless gel formula provides invisible coverage that hides fine lines and imperfections and keeps shine at bay for up to 7 hours for a flawless-looking complexion.
Take a cue from your mid-morning mimosa and brighten up your eyes with True Color Eyeshadow in Champagne, $4. Sweep this light, universally flattering shade along your upper eyelid for an instant pick-me-up, then use it as a highlighter by applying light strokes to your brow bone to brighten your entire face.
Had a rough week? Breathe some life back into your skin with a fresh pop of smooth color. Use a soft blush brush to apply Ideal Luminous Blush in Heavenly Pink, $8, to the apples of your cheeks and blend in a circular motion, gradually moving up toward your temples to create a round, rosy flush.
From your defined brows and bright eyes, to your fresh flush and lengthened lashes, you have all the ingredients needed for the perfect laid-back weekend look. By playing up your natural features, it only takes five minutes (or less!) to create this effortless, low-maintenance style that goes with anything from your yoga pants to your printed maxi dress, and gets you anywhere, from your weekend errands to brunch with the girls.
