When you’re pressed for time, use your eyeliner as your shadow! Pencil liner usually works best; I like pencils with a little bit of slip, but not too much, like the MAC liners — Powersurge and Teddy are two of my favorites.
I’m wearing Powersurge all over my lids in the pic below…
Oh, and try not to overthink it! Just sketch a rough shape on your lids with your pencil, then smudge and blend with either a finger or a fluffy domed shadow brush.

Hi Karen,
I do something similar, but vice versa.
I use a cream eyeshadow stick as liner all the time.
Take care,
Carina
Hi Carina, I do the same thing usually with Mally’s eye shadow sticks. They make great liners.

I agree. Eye pencils and also Melt Gel Liners are great shadows. Love your partner in crime! She’s looking so grown up
What lip color(s) are you wearing in this picture? It looks BEAUtiful on you!
Oh, I never tried that – I think most of my liners don’t smudge well enough though. I don’t have many pencils.
