Be Yourself Beautiful

Bedroom eyes for a sexy cowgirl

I prefer a softer smoky eye to the Kim Kardashian version in black. It’s more flattering to the average face. This is one of my favorite softer smoky-eyed looks using some of my favorite eye colors. They’re actually Powder Eye Liners by Afterglow Cosmetics used as eye shadows, but they work wonderfully. Tip: be sure and use a good eye shadow primer underneath the Powder Eye Liners. They don’t have any binders in them to make them stick to your eyelid; in fact, they’re almost entirely pigment. But don’t fret, Afterglow makes an Organic Color Lock that works amazingly and is truly organic! Just apply a small amount to the eyelids before applying eye shadow. Presto! You’re eyeshadow will not move until you remove it. And it comes off with just soap and water. I tried it out for Halloween this year (major eye shadow) and at 8am the next day my makeup was still perfect. Yay!
