My Everday easy warm bronze eye!

Everyday bronze eye! Neutral eye looks have been my go to the last whole year! When I was younger I used to look at eye make up inspiration and always thought that I'd wear more colorful looks but the older I get I realize the simplicity and ease of a flawless neutral look. Here is an easy light bronzy eye look I did sometime back when I still had a full fringe! I'm currently just about done growing it out and plan to go fringeless for a while.

Warm purple eyes using 1028 and Nars shadows! (Vietnamese snacks, chinatown dinner)

First look using Nars dual intensity shadow! For those who have had the privilege to own high end products, Nars is a familiar name! Known for their blushes, lip pencils, sheer glow foundation and now their dual intensity eyeshadows and audacious lipsticks! I've yet to buy anything from nars despite the brand becoming available in Singapore in recent years. The products are really marked up, with many items more expensive than similar items from Dior or Lancome. 

During my time in Bangkok's cosmetic duty free back in January I took the opportunity to purchase a dual intensity single eyeshadow and a lipstick from Nars! I never leave Bangkok's duty free section without less than $200 of products! I totally don't regret the splurges at all as they've all been great!

Dinner at 'I AM' cafe and dessert at Fika Swedish Cafe & Bistro!

A Sumptuous Dinner by Haji Lane! For those more familiar with Singapore's Cafe and hipster type eateries Arab street, Haji Lane and other roads around the area are spotted by lovely independent eateries. As someone who doesn't drop by the area very often the few times I walked through there was a particular cafe that always seemed to have a long line called "I AM" which I finally tried with my boyfriend. 

According to their website this halal cafe was inspired by the cafes in Amsterdam and serves an array of general western fare. Right off the bat, there's absolutely nothing about the cafe or its food that brings to mind anything european and definitely nothing particularly from Amsterdam. That is besides the large blown up photo of a street view from the city used as wall paper!

Easy light gold eyes using Lorac's Unzipped palette!

Easy light gold eyes! As many of you who have seen my make up looks I seriously am a lover of neutrals, especially the shimmery types. I have a soft spots for various browns, peaches, pinks and also golds at times! This super simple bright eyed gold look was created with shades from Lorac's Unzipped palette! It's a fabulous palette for those who love mid-tone fine shimmery shades!

This look was done for work and although I can wear heavier and smokier/darker looks to work this was one of my odd lighter brighter looks! I know this type of look is usually always going to look great but I don't do them often!

FOTD: Simple Bright neutral eye look (pork rib noodles and chocolate cake)!

Simple, bright and neutral! Here's a typical type of neutral eye look that I usually will create for a day out! On days I'm home I'm always 100% bare faced but when I need to go into town this is a normal look I'd put on, it takes me about 30 minutes to do this! I love reaching for shimmery brown neutrals shades for bright looking eyes, paired with a pink cheek I'd say this is my 'go to' look!

On this day my parents and I went to visit a new small shopping mall that opened up recently near us! Even though there are quite a few eateries and restaurants there because of the large crowds since it's new we ate at a small food court. The food was surprisingly very good and then we headed to a small cafe for some dessert!

Enchanting Gradient Golden Berry eyes! (Japanese dessert and chicken dinner)

Enchanting eyes with golden berry tones! When I think golden browns and purple tones I always think of fall and winter but these shades honestly are perfect year round especially on us ladies with dark brown eyes! This look was inspired by the cranberry dress I wore. I wanted something that was complex and had multiple tones but yet subtle and colorful. This look wasn't planned out so I totally was in love when it turned out so well.

On the day I did this look my boyfriend and I headed into town for a movie! Before the movie I had a craving for a soft hot waffle so we did stop by a casual Japanese cafe before the movie. Afterwards we had dinner at our favorite Indonesian Ayam Penyat restaurant that's famous for their fried smashed chicken rice dish!

Totally taupe eyes with a mauvey rose cheek!

Totally Taupe! This very popular cool toned brown shade although is super popular and looks great on many ladies is a shade I rarely actually use. I tend to always gravitate towards bronzes, caramels, golden toned browns and other pinky toned neutrals. I do find taupe a very complementary shade on my eyes but personally prefer other tones and shades of browns. 

When I do want an eye look with a taupe shade I gravitate towards a trio from Majolica Majorca which features a gorgeous rich silvery taupe shade! (see my review here)

My Perfect Smokey Pink-Brown eyes! (1028 Brownie Eyes Palette)

Perfect Smokey Pink-Brown Eyes! For many ladies a neutral eye look tends to be quite simple, maybe one shadow or two shades at most. Something light in color and wearable to the office or for the day time. However when I think of the perfect neutral eye it has depth, shimmer, some smokiness but all from neutral shades and no black eyeshadow!

This look is the epitome of my perfect type of smokey neutral eyes. It had pink and brown tones, bright and dark and lots of shimmer as well as being perfectly blended out thanks to the amazing quality of eyeshadow from my 1028 Brownie Eyes palette!

Celebratory gold and purple eye look! (Sleek vintage romance)

Celebrate with gold and purple! I know, I know...for those who view all or most of my eye looks I'm a huge fan of gold/purple looks so this type of look is a bit repeated! I just can't get enough of this combination which just is so perfect given the shades in Sleek's Vintage Romance palette. When I think festive period and glamorous looks a rich golden and purple look comes to mind!

For those who are more interested in seeing my review and looks of Sleek's Vintage Romance palette (see here!) This palette is best for those who love purples, golds and shimmery neutrals!

Festive Golden Gradient look! (Maybelline Big Eyes 360 products)

Festive Golden eyes! When most ladies think of holiday and New Year's make up, gold is the color of choice! I personally also love gold especially on the inner and center of the eyelid. Gold either pale, medium, yellow or antique are all great variants for this festive and celebratory time of the year!

I'm not sure about in the US/UK but in Singapore when Maybelline released their Big Eyes line of products we have 4 eyeshadow quads and when I swatched all the testers in store, this gold quad was such a stunner I just had to get it! I don't own many gold shadows and I can't resist small palettes!

FOTN: Smoked out chocolate brown eyes using Urban Decay's Smoked palette!

Smoked out chocolate eyes! When in doubt, I do a smokey chocolate brown eye for going out at night! It's the kind of look that can be beautiful, dramatic and so perfect for day or night. I love these warm chocolatey looks, you can use a pale shimmery beige on the inner lids, a pink or even a gold on the lids instead of a taupe or light brown!

Rose gold molten bronze eye look!

Rose gold bronzy eyes! I love neutral eyes but it's rare that I use only shades of brown when I'm doing my typical neutral eye look! I tend to use pinks, peaches, golds both cool and warm tones of dark browns to make my looks more interesting and more depth! This look was done for work, I was digging around my single and small palette shadows and realized I hadn't used my l'oreal infallible shadows in a while and decided to whip out the pink shade for this look!

Summery bronze icing eyes and my perfect soft pink lips!

Ice, bronze and a soft pink on the lips! For the most part we have 'summer' weather all year long here in Singapore. It's always hot and humid and it gets pretty wet at times during the year. Therefore there is no real 'summer' time or 'fall' time, I pretty much wear any kind of look or colors I like anytime of the year! However when I think of summer, I do think of more warm shades and shimmer/satins on the eyes with lighter lip shades and light textures.

Here I've done a simple ice bronze type eye and I paired it with a touch of blush and a soft pink lip!

Dark Smokey Brown eye with a soft pink lip! (lunch at Brotzeit)

Dark, Smokey and a German lunch date! This simple but yet subtle enough dark brown smokey eye was done some weeks ago for a daytime date! Having received the Urban Decay Smoked palette last year from my boyfriend I've been in love every single time I used any shades from it. The browns in the palette make for a variety of smokey eyes but my favorite is a gradient dark brown one!

The boyfriend and I decided to have a late lunch at the German franchise restaurant here in Singapore called "Brotzeit". It served authentic german food and beers at affordable prices! And finally I ordered something new!

Flawless brown smoked eyes, plush false lashes and vixen red lips!

Red lips and ready! When heading out for a date lunch or dinner I try my best to go bold on the lips or eyes! I used to really shy away from deep and bold lipsticks because I found it difficult to deal with lipstick on my sensitive slightly dry lips that peel a lot but I've now found ways so that my lipstick lasts and looks good! 

Here is a straightforward vixen red lip dinner time look! A simple neutral smoked brown eye with plush false lashes and bold red lips using my NYX round lipstick!

Dusty rose eyes and a moist pink lip! (Giant dim sum lunch)

Delicate dusty rose eyes! When in doubt, I tend to go neutral and pinkish or shimmery rose shades to be specific! This look was done with my new Lorac Unzipped palette! I am a huge fan of shimmery and satin eyeshadows so steer away if you're looking for a matte shadow look! 

The family went out to try a chinese restaurant down town which had a 40% off all their dim sum during lunchtime so we thought since they had such a wide dim sum menu we would head over and order one of almost everything!

Pink and brown brightening eyes with purple lips! (1028 Brownie Eyes palette)

Brownie eyes and purple lips! Yes, yes....I know I suck with coming up with names for looks, I am not creative in that sense at all! This was something I made when getting ready for a casual date evening with my boyfriend! I wanted to dig into my new 1028 Brownie neutral palette and then I wanted a hot pop of color on my lips!

Purple lips has something I've been interested in, as long as it's berry or pink based I'm quite happy with this sort of wearable purplish lip color! NYX Butter Gloss came to my calling!

Purple brown smokey eye with the Urban Decay Smoked palette!

Purple brown smokey eyes! Wearable, sexy, warm and with a kick of purple! I knew I was going to do all kinds of smoky looks with color when I got the Smoked palette from Urban Decay from my boyfriend! I had lusted after the palette forever and loved how the colors were cool toned and metallic and would work so well with the other browns in the palette! 

I was on my way to an interview for the current part time job that I've had now for more than a month at a very well to do and successful restaurant here in Singapore and thought I would doll up a bit! I hadn't used the purple shade Rockstar yet and decided to go for it!

Simple two shade smokey deep brown eyes! (roast pork belly sweet sauce noodles)

Simple eyes for a simple day! I was off to an interview for a well known microbrewery here in Singapore that also serves food and decided to go with a super simple look! It's not often that I do one or two shadow looks but I've almost forgotten how simple, fast and enjoyable they are! I really should feature more super simple looks!

My perfect pinky brown eyes! (Peach Garden dim sum lunch)

Pinky brown eyes! One of my favorite combination for go-to quick and pretty eye looks is a soft pink and brown! I love the combination on the lids and how soft, feminine and easy it is for me to do! I've done this type of look using high end and drugstore shadows and here I used wet n wild shadows for this easy and pretty look for my new passport photos!

On the same day, mom brought me out for an all dim sum lunch at a restaurant I hadn't visited in years in a local shopping center! It was so nice to just eat nothing but dumplings and buns!
