Are you one of the many who run screaming at the word duo-chrome, terrified of disco ball eighties makeup? DONT! This look is all about using duo chrome products in an updated, wearable fashion. This look sports a soft shimmery smokey-eye that is daytime appropriate and will flatter a wide range of skin tones and eye colors. I hope you enjoy and as always feel free to swap out any products for those already in your own collection.
the eyes:
-As always begin by priming the eye area with an eye primer or base of choice. (Lorac Behind the Scenes Eye Primer)
-Apply a shimmery cool toned cream shadow to the lid. (Maybelline Color Tattoo #Seashore Frosts)
-To serve as a transition shade for our other shadows, blend a matte peachy shadow through the crease. (Tarte Mattenificient Palette #Peach For the Stars)
-Using a pencil brush, deepen the outer v and the immediate crease with a deep matte plum shade. Also deepen the outer third of the crease under the lower lid. (Tarte Mattenificient Palette #Two Plums Up)
-Next, blend this plum shade out all along the lowers lashline with a duo chrome taupe shadow. (Prestige Long Term Relationship Shadow #Bewitched)
-Highlight the brow bone with a matte shadow a few shades lighter than your skin tone. (Tarte Mattenificient Palette #Sand Out From the Crowd)
-With a black liquid liner, create a very thin line along the upper lashline. (NYX Two Timer)
-Also, line the waterline with a nude eyeliner to brighten the eyes. (NARS Larger than Life Eyeliner #Rue Bonaparte)
-For some added shine, apply a shimmery duo-chrome purple pigment to the lid. (Makeup Forever Star Powder #942)
-Apply a few coats of black mascara to top and bottom lashes. (L'oreal Telescopic Shocking Extensions #Carbon Black)
-Apply a full, but lightweight pair of lashes for some day-time drama. (Kiss Tapered End Lash #Pretty)
-To hide the lash band and soften the black liquid liner, use a flat definer brush to apply some matte black shadow close to the lash line. (Tarte Mattenificient Palette #Don't Stand Black)
-Opt for bronze cheeks with a flush of dolly pink. (Sephora Los Cabos Bronzer & Milani Baked Blush #Dolce Pink)
-To coordinate with my eyes, I applied just a touch of the duo chrome pigment that is on the lid to the tops of my cheekbones. (Makeup Forever Star Powder #942)
the lips:
-Skip the lip liner, and go for a sheer, rosey-plum blown out lip. (Dior Addict Lipstick #Fashion Week)
