Cup of thoughts and a bag of tea.: EVENING GLAM LOOK

I hope you're all having a wonderful start to your weekend. Today's post is a makeup tutorial and outfit for evening glam / a night out on the town! Sometimes I feel like looking glammed up, but I really don't have the patience to go through what it takes. This is my go-to makeup look for that occasion because it looks like I spent forever on my makeup when really it's such a quick and easy look. I also try and remember that a look can be super polished and glam as long as you have at least one bold piece among the simple things.

The outfit

The first thing I wanted this outfit to have was these gorgeous peachy pink heels because I think they are so stunning for summer. And, with such a bright heel, I wanted to keep everything else pretty simple. And, pairing heels with cuffed jeans is a great way to make a look chic with a hint of casual, still great for a night out. So, I slipped on my Madewell jeans and cuffed them, because I love seeing the ankles when I'm rocking a pair of heels. I paired these with a white high-neck chiffon top from ASOS that has scalloped detailing on the sides. I added some gold studded earrings and a golden BP watch for some simple accents. I also grabbed my Sole Society leopard print clutch to really spice up the look! I love this clutch for going out because it zips up and then folds over with a magnet closure, so I feel very safe when I'm carrying it around with me, it's not something a stranger could just slip their hands into when I'm not looking.

The hair and makeup

This is my shimmery easy twist on a smokey eye! It takes just a few steps with the Lorac Pro palette because all the shades are in one place. Then, do a winged liner, pop on some lashes, your favorite lippie, and run out the door. For those new to lashes (like myself), give the Revlon Beyond Natural lashes a try, I absolutely love them (I use model 91294) and they are from the drugstore! For this look, I also did curls halfway down my head, adding a little Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray for some extra beachy waves, and some LUSH dry shampoo under my roots for some extra texture and volume to my pancake flat hair.
