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 remember when I first tried the #antipodesskinca I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskincare Aura Manuka Honey Mask. It blew my mind away! Soothes skin. Boosts hydration and just makes you feel like you have the best skin ever! Not kidding. If you have a spot or irritated skin, it calms it down and helps get rid of your spots too. Honey is anti bacterial after all, so it’s a great multitasker. 
I also love the Manuka Honey Skin brightening Day Cream. It’s light but creamy and sinks into the skin. I’ve reviewed them both on the blog in the past. If you run a search for Antipodes, you’d also notice how much I love the brand! 😁
I’m super late with this but if you’re planning to purchase any of these 3 Manuka honey items from TNS Skinlab, the code MYWSTUFF10 will give you an extra 10% off (until tomorrow 31 Dec) I highly recommend grabbing the Aura mask. You’ll never want to be without (I always have a backup!) 
Thanks for the gift @tnsskinlab and I must apologise for my tardiness 😩 I’ll learn to cope better from next week! 
Now I have to scuttle and write my year end musings. Some traditions must be kept! 😜
Tell me your fave Antipdoes skincare product!

It’s my first year doing retail and honestly, I’d never been so busy! The year-end rush is unreal! But busy is good, right? At least that’s what I tell myself 😂
While I pack up gift boxes of treats for doggies 🐶 (I’ve tied so many ribbons I’ve finally started to get it right!) #loccitanemalaysia makes it easy to shop for humans 😅 at experienceloccitane.com with their L’Occitane en Demande service. Place your order, and pick up in store or have it delivered. 
Had a bit of breather today and put together a little video. Blink and miss my little monster 🐶 helping me shop! Not sponsored but I did receive a gift from L’Occitane, for which my sun-exposed, dry dog-walking skin thanks you! 
Haven’t done any Christmas shopping this year. It has only just struck me that it’s but mere days away! 😨 Have you done yours?
