Start Here: Prep + Tools I Use for Every Eye Look
I always start my eye makeup with this eye cream because I notice a huge difference when I skip it. My eyeshadow blends more smoothly, doesn't cling to dry spots, and just looks better throughout the day. It's one of those products I didn't think I n...
First Aid Beauty 5-IN-1 Eye Cream, 0.5 Ounce
I never skip eyeshadow primer, and this is the one I've used for years. It keeps my eyeshadow from creasing, helps it blend better, and makes everything last all day. If your eyeshadow disappears by lunchtime, I'd start here before buying a new palet...
Original Eyeshadow Primer Potion - Urban Decay Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
I've tried a lot of mascaras over the years, but I keep coming back to this one. It separates my lashes, gives me great length, and doesn't feel heavy. Whenever I try something new, I usually end up coming right back to this.
Blackest Black Telescopic Original Washable Mascara - L'Oréal | Ulta Beauty
I don't like overly sculpted brows, so this is perfect for me. It adds just enough color and hold to make my brows look polished without looking overdone. It's the last step in my routine, but I always notice when I forget it.
1 Light Gimme Brow+ Tinted Volumizing Eyebrow Gel - Benefit Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
My original Bobbi Brown eyeshadow brush is over 20 years old, and I still use it every time I do my makeup. They don’t make my exact brush anymore, but this is the closest replacement I could find. I use this brush specifically to apply my light nude...
Eye Sweep Brush | Bobbi Brown Cosmetics
Use this to apply the darker color in the corner and blend into the base color a bit.
Eye Smudge Brush | Bobbi Brown Cosmetics
The perfect 2 in 1 brush. I would use this to apply both the base lighter taupe and the darker color in the corners. The fluffy ends is perfect for blending. I’ve used my brush for 5 years and it’s going strong.
Eyeshadow Brush - Rose Gold - Seint
Soft Taupe Smokey Eye
If I could only keep one eyeshadow look, this would be it. It's soft enough for daytime but easy to build into a more dramatic evening look. I use cool taupe, greige, and champagne shades to create a blended, wearable smokey eye that looks polished w...
If you looked at my makeup counter today, this is the palette you'd find sitting on it. I reach for it more than any other because the cool-toned taupes and greys make it easy to create everything from a natural everyday eye to the soft smokey eye I ...
ColourPop Stone Cold Fox 30 Pan Eyeshadow
This is my everyday eyeliner for warmer eyeshadow looks. It gives my eyes definition without looking harsh, which is exactly what I want for a soft smokey eye.
Brushbrown Brushstroke 24-Hour Liquid Eyeliner Pen - MAC | Ulta Beauty
Instead of lining my lower lash line with black or brown eyeliner, I like to smudge this underneath my eyes. It keeps the smokey look going without feeling too heavy. It's one of those little finishing touches that makes the whole look come together.
Taupe It Off Dazzleshadow Eye Shadow Stick - MAC | Ulta Beauty
Blue Smokey Eye
I used this bright blue Dior eyeliner to give my blue smoky eye a more playful finish without changing the rest of the look. The color is bold enough to show up, but it still feels polished rather than costume-y. I like applying it along the upper la...
Diorshow Liquid Liner: Waterproof Felt Tip Liquid Eyeliner | DIOR
For the eyeshadow, I worked from the outside in, just like I usually do. I started with All Vibes on the outer half of the eye and blended it slightly past the crease. Then I added Calm Down, the deeper shade, through the crease to create more defini...
So Elemental Eyeshadow Palette - ColourPop | Ulta Beauty
Blanc Type is one of my few favorite nude colors. It is actually hard to get your hands on sometimes because it is so popular. It is often sold out!

The perfect purple pallet that includes subtle and bold colors - you can use this for day or night looks.

This liner goes on very smoothly. It is very pigmented, so a little goes a long way. the brush end is perfect for blending the line so it isn't harsh.
Urban Decay 24/7 Liquid Stick
The perfect sheer shimmer with a tint of lavender
