This is actually the look I wore on Thanksgiving to lunch with my family. It is inspired by the dusty rose/mauve eyeshadow duo from NARS called Charade. I absolutely love NARS shadows and highly recommend them if you are willing to purchase a high end product. However, please do search your own collection as always and switch out products you already have to achieve this look. To me this look is subtle, romantic, and very day time appropriate. Also, the purple tones used on the eye will greatly enhance honey colored eyes like mine or green eyes.
On a side note I am having some issues with blogger. When I upload certain photos it changes my eye color to this dark muddy color that is not in the photo. If you know why or how to fix this pleaseeeeeeeeeeee help a sister out and let me know in the comment section below. Enjoy!
the eyes:
-As always, start by priming your lids with your favorite eye shadow primer. (Lorac Behind the Scenes Primer)
-Using a dusty purple shadow pack this shade all over the lid, stopping at the crease. (NARS Eyeshadow Duo #Charade)
-With a dusty rose matte shadow on a fluffy brush, blend this color through the crease. (NARS Eyeshadow Duo #Charade)
-Next, highlight your brow bone with a matte shadow a few shades lighter than your skin. (NYX Nude Matte Shadow #I Have a Headache)
-Then line your tightline with a black waterproof eyeliner pencil. This will make your eyelashes appear thicker. Also drag this pencil very close to the outer half of your upper lashline. (Jane Water Resistant Eyeliner #Black & Jordana 12hr Made to Last Liquid Eyeliner Pencil #Black Point)
-Line your waterline with a waterproof purple eyeliner pencil. (Rimmel Scandaleyes #Purple)
-Next take a shimmery taupe shadow and place this on your inner tear duck and along your lower lash line with a detail brush. (Prestige Longterm Relationship Eyeshadow #Bewitched)
-Lastly apply several coats of your favorite mascara. I skipped out on the falsies and opted for my natural lashes today. ( L'oreal Lash Out Butterfly Mascara #Blackest Black & Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara)
the cheeks:
-Sweep a contour powder or matte brown eyeshadow under your cheekbones to chisel out those cheeks. (NYX Nude Matte Shadow #Tryst)
-Next, warm up the perimeter of your face and neck with your favorite bronzer. (Physician's Formula Bronze Booster #Light/Medium)
-Then blend a purple/mauve blush along your cheek bones (not the apples of your cheeks) and up around the eye in a c-shape motion. Be sure to use a light hand and blend completely so this will not look like a bruise. (NARS Powder Blush #Sin)
-Lastly, give your self a marvelous glow by sweeping a gold toned powder highlight over the tops of your cheek bones, orbital bone, and cupids bow. (NARS Powder Blush #Albatross)
the lips:
-Finish off the look with a romantic pink lip. I chose a shade with lots of shine and a hint of shimmer to make the lips appear more full. (Dior Addict Lipstick #260 Rose Deshabille)
other products used:
-Rimmel Fix & Perfect Pro Primer
-Garnier Skin Renew BB Cream for Combo/Oily Skin #Light/Medium
-Revlon Colorstay Concealor #Fair
-NYX Mineral Set It & Don't Fret It Matte Finishing Powder #Light
-Prestige Brow Perfection Brow Pencil #Med/Deep
-Milani Brow Fix Kit #Light
