Best of Beauty Week 2: Eyes

Eyeshadow

Sarah: The colors in the Urban Decay Roller Girl Palette all are nicely pigmented and make for a great natural eye and are very smooth and subtly shimmery, which I love. With the neutrals, it also includes a hot pink shadow for a pop of color when you’re feeling fun! $18

Grace: Except for mascara, I hardly ever wear eye makeup. But when I do, I wear a bit of brown eyeshadow and I like Covergirl Eye Enhancers! $6

Erin: I love the set of colors in Maybelline New York Impeccable Greys. Works great for a smokey eye style, and I like to use the darker grey almost as an eyeliner. $6

Haylie: I enjoy experimenting with eye shadows (normally on my friends!) but eye shadows can be very expensive. E.L.F. Essential Brightening Eye Color gives you a huge variety of colors! Each set comes with four different colors, normally 2 light and 2 dark. My two favorites for me are Butternut (deep browns and light oranges) and Ivy (light green, dark green, brown and a powdery color) because I like earthy tones on myself and browns and greens bring out the green in my hazel eyes! $1

Eyeliner

Sarah: The Urban Decay 27/4 Glide On Eye Pencil is the best eyeliner I’ve ever tried! I own them in the colors Whiskey, a deep brown, and Lust, a rich purple. They are SO smooth and just melt into your skin, so there is no dragging or pulling. $18

Grace: I think the brown Jane Eyeliner Pencil looks great! It enhances your eyes but still look natural. $5

Haylie: I like E.L.F. Essentials Liquid Eyeliner because it goes on easily and if you mess up, it can be washed away no problem. I always use the brown shade of this because it gives a less-harsh look than black does. The liner comes in many shades, black, brown, silver, gold and glitter (which is AWESOME!) $1

Mascara

Sarah: OrganicWear 100% Natural Origin Mascara has been my favorite for a long time. You can find it at most drug stores and it has a great brush, which in my opinion is one of the most important things about mascara. Plus it’s made with natural ingredients, so I don’t have to worry about it eating away at my naturally long lashes. $10

Grace: CoverGirl LashBlast Length Mascara makes your eyelashes look super long! It's my favorite mascara so far. $8

Erin: NYC Instant Lash is about the cheapest mascara you can buy, but it works great with me. I use another cheap brown mascara and then brush a small amount of black NYC mascara over it so it isn’t terribly dark or clumpy. $1

Haylie: I love my eyes, especially when my mascara goes on right and there are only two different ways I can achieve that. One would be to have my friend Danielle do my mascara, but I only get that when she stays over. The other is by using Rimmel London Lash Maxxx Mascara. It has a thin comb that is used to comb the mascara on. It makes my lashes look long and fairy-like! $6-$7
