This look will literally take you five minutes- if that much. I've been really into bare eyes + bright lips lately, mainly because as a senior in college, my senioritis has kicked into overdrive and I can barely be bothered to do anything. So, for this look, I kept my eyes completely bare, with the exception of mascara. For mascara, I used the No. 7 Extreme Length Mascara in Brown/Black, which is an amazing everyday mascara. On the cheeks, I used Milani's Baked Blush in Rose D'Oro. For the lips, I used Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm in Audacious. And that's it. Really!
This look is just a soft purple smoky eye, and takes two seconds and just one brush. Okay, it might take anywhere from 60-120 seconds depending on your mood, but for realzies... It's pretty easy. I just used a blending brush, and then the No. 7 Stay Perfect Eyeshadow Trio in Forest Fruits. I used the lightest shade in the trio and swept it all over the lid and blended into the crease. Then I took the midtone purple and blended it on the lid and lightly into the crease. Next, I used the darkest shade in the trio and blended it on the outer corners of the eyes, and smudged it under the lower lashline as well. Next, I took a black pencil liner and smudged some black onto the upper lashline (I used Vapour Mesmerize Eyeliner in Black). I finished it off with the No. 7 Extreme Length Mascara.
For the cheeks, I used Milani Baked Blush in Rose D'Oro, and used the Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in Naked, which, by the way, is the perfect nude lipstick.
And now for my favorite look of them all: the navy blue cateye. Okay, so this *may not* be as easy as the other two looks- it just depends on your comfort level with doing a cateye. If cateyes take you forever and a day to do, then this probably may require some practice. But for you seasoned pros: this is pretty easy! But newbies, it's alright- I used a pencil liner to do this look, so you can totally do this, too!
First, I took the Milani Liquid Eye Liquid-Like Eye Liner Pencil in Aqua, and created the winged eyeliner shape. It doesn't have to be perfect, because we are going to perfect the line with a small detail brush and navy blue eyeshadow. Next, using the same eyeliner, apply it to your waterline and lower lashline for extra definition. Taking a small detailer brush, I used a dark navy blue eyeshadow and sharpened the winged liner a bit (I used the dark blue eyeshadows from the Urban Decay Vice 2 palette). I think used a light, shimmery eyeshadow and applied to my inner corner. For mascara, take a wild guess (the No. 7 one!). On the cheeks, I am using the Le Metier de Beaute blush/bronze duo in Traviata, and used the Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in Naked on my lips.

I've been putting these three looks on heavy rotation the past few weeks. They're quick, easy, and visually stunning in the end. What are some of your go-to spring looks?
