Dare: 3 Easy Day Looks

We challenged ourselves to create 3 day looks with 3 makeup palettes. How'd we do?

1 of 4

Erica's day look Erica was given the Pixi Eye Glow Cube - Lucent Lid Light, $28, available at Target, to create her day look. She opted to mix a few of the shadows together for a work-appropriate smoky eye.

Step 1: She used the shimmery mauve shade on her eyelid (1).
Step 2: Then she applied the champagne shade in her crease (2) and up into her brow bone and the inner corners of her eyes to highlight.
Step 3: She finished it up with a little brown eyeliner and mascara and a swipe of the pink blush included in the palette (3).

"I think this makeup look is perfect for the office," Erica says. "I loved how the eyeshadows blended for a subtle, understated look that still gave my eyes some definition. Likewise, the lip gloss looked very natural, but still added just a hint of color and shine that made everything look pretty and polished."

All awesome ways to create looks using one palette. It's still fun to have a huge collection though! :]

Excellent article! Who doesn't love a good palette, but I'm not the best at coming up with creative ways to use them.

I love the first palette (always drawn to pink, blue, and amethyst shades) worn by Erica. Interesting to see how the "looks" changed from day to night!

pretty cool! I think all 3 looks are great butI really like the pallettes used for looks 2 and 3. The pallette for the 1st look would basically be a waste for me since I think I might only use about 4-5 of the shadows

I've never tried any of these pallets, but my favorite look is Jenny's!
