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

June 8, 2010 Paris B 14 Comments

Benefit Strut Skinny Jeans

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.

      I haven’t tried their foundation but Jamilla uses it a lot. Maybe I should try that next 🙂

    i was just wondering, how did u blend both colors? the strut and skinny jeans together? i only have the strut, if i dont put skinny jeans, what will be the effect? does it look unnatural?
