"I started with Pixi Flawless Beauty Fluid, $30, and Pixi Wakeup Concealer, $18. These are lightweight but I can also build up the coverage where I need it (hello, dark circles!).

"The cool thing about Pixi Eye Glow Cube is it also has a pull out drawer with blush and highlighter options. I used the pink shade to highlight my cheekbones and give me a subtle glow."

"I used the taupe shade in the palette as my base eyeshadow. I applied it to my lid, browbone and the inner corners of my eyes. This helped open up my eye area, a must on a Monday morning."

"Since this palette has a lot of fun shades, I opted to mix a few to create a smoky eye. I combined the purple and burgundy shades and applied them in my crease and along my lower lashline instead of eyeliner to define my eyes."

"To finish my smoky eye I applied my burgundy/purple mix to the outer half of my eyelid, smudging it out with my brush."

"And of course you can't finish a smoky eye without mascara! I used Pixi Large Lash Mascara, $18. It defined my lashes and made sure they still stood out from my purple shadow."

"To wrap up my office look, I used a mauve lip gloss from the NP Set Gorgeous-To-Go Palette, $27, (you can see how else we used this palette here). I think it's a good weekday look, there's some color but it's not too over the top."
