Quick Look: Benefit Strut and Skinny Jeans for quick smokey eye

June 8, 2010 Paris B 14 Comments

Benefit Strut Skinny Jeans
  • Save

Here’s another quick look I did using the Benefit Creaseless Cream eyeshadows. I seem to be doing a lot of eye looks right but the eyes tend to stump most people? Anyway, this is a very quick and dead easy way to get a smokey eye look either for work or to go out partying.

You will need the 2 products I used though – Benefit Creaseless Cream shadows in Strut and Skinny Jeans.

Here’s how I did it.

Benefit Creaseless Cream Eyeshadows in Strut and Skinny Jeans

For the eyes, what you need in this case is unfortunately the Benefit Creaseless Cream eyeshadows. You could try with a substitute but I won’t know how it’ll turn out.

  • Apply Strut (charcoal deep blue) on lash line and blend upwards
  • Apply Skinny Jeans on lid and blend
  • Use any white highlighter and apply on inner corners and on brow bone
  • Line and you’re good to go

Its so fast and easy I’ve been doing this look nearly every day, in different variations ever since I picked up Strut. I kept the rest of the face light. For cheeks I’m using the Benefit powder blush in Thrrob. I’m still feeling my way around it so you’ll have to wait a bit for a full review.

If you are interested in the products used for the rest of the face, here they are.

  • Face: Shu Uemura Face Architect powder foundation, Guerlain Pressed Illuminating Powder in Nacre des Mers
  • Eyes: Benefit Creaseless Cream shadows in Strut and Skinny Jeans, White powder highlighter, Smashbox Liquid liner
  • Cheeks: Benefit Thrrob powder blush
  • Lips: Testimo Serumdrape lipstick RD151

You might notice that I always say the looks I do are good for work. The reason is because I do wear these to work. I do the look in the morning, snap a quick picture before I run out the door and there you have it. A work friendly (for me) look. 🙂

      *giggles* 1 word – SAVE! 🙂 I pick mine up mostly when they are on sale online but I think Mythic works best for me so far. I think you’re going to really detest me tomorrow 🙁

    I was tempted by this but didn’t get it partly because the rose scent of all their powdered products bother me. I do like the metal packaging more than the card board though!

    I did however pick up their Parure foundation this weekend – their liquid products have a completely different smell, thankfully.

An “I’ll be out all day and need my makeup to An “I’ll be out all day and need my makeup to stay on” look 😅 Super simple and using stuff I already own. How many do you recognise? 😅 

For the base I think the key is the Nars setting powder which is basically a silica powder. Many brands have similar white powder for setting. I did this same look yesterday and it barely budged/faded by evening. Only lipstick needed a little topping up 😊 

And this is about all the makeup I can handle these days 😂 no eye makeup cos I can’t be arsed 🤪

Posting for posterity because I like this photo 😆 Also hello! 😜

It’s interesting that when I meet people they always ask me “Are you still blogging?” which tells me they don’t read my blog anymore (cos if they did they’d know I am lol! Weekly generally, but still writing) Yet I don’t blame them because a lot of social credit is placed on one’s Instagram presence. This I fear, is an area I am lacking. I pop in every now and then, share stories that are totally unrelated to what people follow me for, then wonder why they unfollow lol! Other times, spider webs gather in the corners of my unused account. I don’t blame them. Not everyone wants to know what my dogs are up to 😜

Anyway I make no apologies. It’s ok if you follow. It’s ok if you don’t. It’s ok if you’re interested in stuff I do. It’s ok if you’re not. Life goes on for both you and I and ultimately, we just both want it to be happy. So do what makes you happy 😊 I’ll still share my beauty finds and I still blog once a week. I may share what I’m up to from time to time, or I may not. I can tell you that I’m keeping busy and that I have a lot on my plate, none of it glamorous unlike that of most content creators/influencers. It’s too boring for most for me to share here so I’ll just share the good bits - as Instagram intended 😂

But if you want to find me, you’ll know how 😊

The review for the product is somewhere on the blog mywomenstuff.com
Yes I know many of you are terrified of lizards 🦎🫣

But I liked this sunscreen - for the body. Even though it left a white cast. Even though it is hard to remove. It kept my arms protected through a weekend of brutal sun exposure and I survived without burning! ✌🏻
