LOTD: Neutral Gold/Wine Eyes

I recently purchased two palettes by NYX cosmetics. I am sooo in love with these palettes and NYX cosmetics in generally. I really wanted to do more neutral looks with my eyes that are work appropriate but always felt like I was doing the same looks over and over again or just looked too blah!




I went with The Runway Collection (Strike a Pose open on the right) and For Your Eyes Only (Mysterious Brown Eyes open on the left) palettes. I love the brown eyes palette because it is full of colors that make brown eyes stand out. Both of these are dope and have 10 colors each. Color payoff is great and NYX is really affordable. I have come up with two weeks full of looks so far and they all look so nice! I bought them from cherryculture.com for $8 each.



I decided to go with a golden/cream/wine colored neutral eye today. I wore navy slacks, a cream top, a camel colored belt, and my dark red pumps to work. Hope you like and check out these palettes!




PS. I wanted to do a nude lip with a nude eye to give me a more androgynous look, but feel free to spice up the lip if you want!
