This look shows you how to go strikingly nude on New Year's Eve with out loosing one ounce of drama. As always please try this out with products already in your collection. Get your money's worth girlfriend! Also look out for my next post which will not feature a look, but all of my favorite products from 2013.
P.S. I still need help figuring out how to stop blogger from altering my eye color when I upload photos. Any help would be so appreciated!
the eyes:
-As always, begin by priming your entire eye area with eye primer of choice. (Lorac Behind the Scenes Eye Primer)
-Next pack a shimmery champagne cream shadow across the lid, stopping at the crease. (Maybelline Color Tattoo #Barely Branded)
-On a fluffy brush mix both a taupe and mauve matte shade together and blend through the crease to serve as a transition shade. This will help other shadows after this blend more easily. (Lorac Pro Palette #Taupe & #Mauve)
-Then with an angled brush, pick up some of the taupe shadow and draw a line from the outer corner of your upper lashline outward (mimicking the shape of a winged liner). Then with the same bruch draw a line through your crease and connecting to the wing shape you just made. (Lorac Pro Palette #Taupe)
-With a blending brush, buff the edges of this taupe "triangle" inwards toward the lashline.
-Using the angled brush again, mix a medium brown and dark brown matte shadow together and trace the lower lashline. When you reach the inner tear duct, disconnect from the lashline and draw the liner straight (refer to last picture in post for best explanation). This will leave a gap between the brown shadow and your inner tear duct. (Lorac Pro Palette #Sable & #Espresso)
-Pack a shimmery or holographic nude pigment all over the lid. I recommend using a mixing medium, water or setting spray to dampen your brush and increase color payoff when using any pigment. (L'oreal Infallible Eyeshadow #Strawberry Blond & NYX Matte Setting Spray)
-Next with a black gel liner, line the upper lashline and create a dramatic wing shape. (Maybelline Eyestudio Gel Liner #Blackest Black)
-To line the lower water line, apply a nude eyeline pencil to the inner third and a brown eyeliner pencil to the outer 2/3. (Rimmel Scandaleyes #Nude & Jordana 12hr Made to Last Liquid Eyeliner Pencil #Espresso Last)
-With a frosty or duo chrome pigment, place the product along the inner tear duct and neatly fill in the gap above the brown eyeshadow on the lower lashline. (Make Up Forever Star Powder #942 & NYX Matte Setting Spray)
- Next, highlight your brow bone with a matte shade a few steps lighter than your skin tone. (NYX Nude Matte Shadow #I Have a Headache)
-Apply your mascara of choice to top and bottom lashes. (Smashbox Photoop Eyebrightening Mascara & Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara
-For lashes I cut mine into tiny sections (about 1/4") and glued them on spaced apart for a piecey and fluttery look. (Ardell Demi #120)
the lips:
-I chose to keep the lips sheer and nude, to make the neutral eyes pop. However this look would also pair beautifully with any bold lip color you chose. (NARS Lipstick #Damage & Revlon Colorburst Lipgloss #Bejeweled)
