Office-Gasping Everyday Eyes


In my working-world filled with women, we usually get the office with clean makeup-free faces.  The second we hit that desk chair, our makeup bag is out and we throw together the easiest, quickest makeup routine.  And I work in beauty!

Let’s be real, at the end of the day you’re back to that pasty-white skin.  Your bronzer has faded, lipstick never stays and the under eye bags have resurrected.  One element will last…show-stopping eyes.  No eye shadow required (unless you’re a Naked Pallet guru), I’m here to give you my favorite products for flawless eyes, in 5 minutes flat.

If nothing else, your eyelashes HAVE to look amazing.  If I were stranded on a desert island, only allowed to bring 3 items, one would be my eyelash curler.  Crazy, I know, but I think eyelashes are one of (if not the most) important feature on your face. 

Have you ever received comments on your eyelashes?  Well you should- and im not talking about this new eyelash extension trend but your all natural lashes.  Most woman aren’t blessed with Kim Kardashian lashes, so the little trick that works wonders is RevitaLash. Three years ago I used this product every night before bed and my lashes still look like falsies.  You apply RevitaLash like liquid eyeliner for as long as you can (I lasted a year…maybe) and you’ll wake up one day with long, healthy, flawless lashes. 


As I’ve already stated, an eyelash curler is a must.  I use the Shiseido Eyelash Curler to curl my lashes before I put on my mascara and after for that extra oomph.  Here’s my fave:



A great mascara is essential.  I use this unbelievable Givenchy Noir Couture 4 in 1 Mascara that you can find at Sephora which offers perfect thickness, not too clumpy and makes your lashes pop.






Highlighter sounds complicated but I’ve found the perfect solution.  Boom Boom Push-Up Brow is a pencil that offers a matte side for the arch of your brow and a shimmer side to highlight the inside of my eye. 



Lastly, if you’re an eyeliner person (sometimes I love it, sometimes I want that clean look) I use the Make Up For Ever eyeliner.  It’s inexpensive, smooth and long-lasting plus it comes in every color!  Mix it up sometimes.  I love navy.
