Stuff I Like #22: L'Oreal One Sweep Eye Shadow

 

Disclosure: I received a free sample of this to try. I have not been compensated for this posting, and all my opinions are my own. 

I would not necessarily call myself a tomboy, but I'm pretty close. I am most comfortable in jeans and t-shirts. I rarely wear makeup, except for very special occasions.

Growing up, my mother never really encouraged me to play with makeup(although she didn't discourage me either!). I never really had a chance to figure out what looked good on me and what didn't. To be honest, I didn't really care much. I had other ways that I preferred to spend my time.

Now as an adult, I have no idea what really looks good on me. I've tried a few different things, but I'm never really sure if I like it or not. Honestly, I was skeptical about this product. There are few makeup items that I really have liked right off. I have a naturally rosy complection, so I don't really need blush. I can't stand the feel of foundation or powder on my skin, so I avoid those. I think that my eyes are one of my best features, so I like eye makeup. I like mascara because it makes my eyelashes look longer. I use eye liner every once in a while, but I'm not terribly crazy about it either.

The first time I tried this, I loved it! It's pretty idiot proof! There are different color combinations for different eye colors. They have more conservative colors and more playful colors for each eye color, as well as combinations that suit all eye colors. I really liked the way it looked on me. I felt like it enhanced my eyes perfectly. I would never have come up with the right combination on my own, and never in the right order. L'Oreal's One Sweep Eye Shadow makes it easy for even the most inexperienced makeup users to look great.
