Pinks and Purples Using Coastal Scents 88 Matte and Shimmer Palettes

I didn't realize how similar this look is to my previous look (Smokey Lilacs) until I saw the photos. The difference though is that I used pinks and violets for this look. This was my first time to use my 88 Shimmer Palette from Coastal Scents, and I can now safely say that I really prefer the Original/Matte palette over the Shimmer, as the former's colors are richer and classier, in my opinion. Please refer to the following 88 palette pictures for the tutorial below.






Apply MAC Soft Ochre paint pot all over lid and brows. Smooth with finger. With a fluffy shader brush, apply MAC Nice Vice paint pot on lid. Apply MAC Beige-ing shadestick on lower lashline to prevent smudging of shadows. Using Loew Cornell Maxine's Mop 3/8" brush (or MAC 239), apply Shadow A from the Shimmer palette on the inner 2/3 of the lid.


Using a fluffy shader brush (I used Studio Tools from Target), apply Shadow B from Original palette on middle of lid. Using the same brush, apply Shadow C from Original palette on outer lid.


Using MAC 224 brush, blend the colors together in quick, one direction strokes (sweep from inner color to outer color).


Add more Shadow C to deepen the color. Add Shadow D on the outer edges to soften the harsh lines using the 224 brush.


Apply MAC Blacktrack fluidline, Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Zero to tightline and on waterline, Shadow A on inner half of lower lashline and Shadow C on outer half of lower lashline. Apply Red Cherry falsies #15. Highlight the browbone using MAC Yogurt shadow using the 227 brush.











Face:

Meow Flawless Feline mineral foundation in Naughty Abyssinian
MAC Studio Sculpt concealer in NC20
Dayna's Rested mineral undereye concealer
DreamWorld whipped cocoon (silk finishing powder) in Whipped Strawberries
NARS blush in Oasis (NOTE: I made a mistake in my last look; I wrote "NARS Oasis" as my blush but it was actually Valerie Beauty mineral blush in Smokin' Mocha; I have corrected my product list.)
