Last week I got my makeup done and had a really bad allergic reaction. I woke up the next morning and my eyes were completely swollen (no, it was not pink eye). So I went to the doctor and she gave me some medicine and told me no eye make up for a week. I was a bit discouraged by her instructions especially because it was right before the weekend. Truth is though, I hate wearing eye make up. Eyeliner always gets all over my face and mascara makes my eyes uncomfortable.
A brave boy once said to me “girls like you look better when you’re not so done up.” Thank you sir. I actually feel better when I’m not all done up. So for those of you who are too lazy, have an eye infection, don’t feel like getting so dolled up etc, this one is fuh you (please read with thick Brooklyn accent). And please don’t let these photos scare you.
5 ways to look great without eye makeup:
1. Glasses.
Ditch your contacts. Wearing glasses can be a great accessory and can almost work instead of a liner to frame your eyes.
2. Hat.
Take the attention away from your face and onto your head.

3. Bold Lips.
Wearing a color that pops makes it so you don’t need much else.

4. Bold Brows.
Reference the photo above. Like glasses, use your eyebrows to frame your eyes by filling them in. My favorite pencil is this one Here by Anastasia.
5. Fun Hair.
Whether you want to dye it, braid it, or use hair chalk, just get creative.
And if all else fails, there are always sunglasses and filters.
