Let's Get Started!
First I start with a clean, moisturized face, and I apply my primer with my fingers. I use a wet beauty blender to apply my foundation and concealer (under the eyes, around the nose, and on any spots that need extra coverage.) Then I go in with some blush on the apples of my cheeks, and a little highlight (directly above the blush, down my nose, and then a smaller brush to get in the inner corners of my eyes and my cupid's bow.) I also darken my brows since my hair is colored. I fill them in the slightest bit with the pencil side, then set with the gel. Now we're ready for the star of the show, the eyes and lips:
For the eyes I use the Infallable eyeshadow all over my lid. I apply the second darkest shade on the ELF palette in my crease, and smoked it out to the corner (kind of like making a V motion around the outer corner of your eye.) Lastly, I blended the bageezus out of it and used some of the lightest shade in the palette under my brow and in the inner corners of my eyes, just to brighten the look.
Then for the lipstick, I take a brush or my finger and apply a thin swipe. This way it looks more like a tint--I'm not a big lipstick person, so I prefer a less intense look. But this would also be stunning with a darker application. And done!
The lipstick shade is definitely out of my comfort zone, but I'm trying to expand my makeup horizons--yay for trying new things! The eyes, however, are right up my alley--the smokey gold and brown shades really bring out blue eyes. I love this look for the colder months.
