Look Using Coastal Scents 88 Warm Palette



Here's a look featuring the Coastal Scents Warm 88 Palette. I am pretty impressed with the colors. They were vibrant and the staying power was pretty good with a good base (I used MAC paint in Bare Canvas and paint pot in Perky). I am especially impressed with the lid and crease colors I used. As long as a good base is used, the pigment remained vibrant and the finish was pretty smooth on the lid. For the tutorial below, please refer to the picture above for particular shadows used.


I also used one of my favorite MAC beauty powder blushes, Joyous. True to its name, it's a very happy color and I really love how it perks up the complexion.


I also used Aromaleigh Drama Queen eyeliner in Copper for this look.

Here's a step-by-step illustration.


Apply MAC Bare Canvas paint all over lid and lower lashline. Using a fluffy shader brush, apply MAC Perky paint pot on lid.


Using Loew Cornell Maxine's Mop 3/8" shader brush (or the MAC 239), apply Shadow A on lid.


Using MAC 224, apply Shadow B on crease.


Using Sonia Kashuk blender brush, apply Shadow C on the outer V and to contour the crease. Blend the colors together using the 224 using windshield-wiper motions.




Using the Sonia Kashuk blender brush, apply more Shadow B and C to deepen the crease, then blend using the 224.


Using Stila No. 5 brush, apply Shadow D on the browbone to highlight.


Using Sonia Kashuk bent eyeliner, wet-line Aromaleigh Drama Queen eyeliner in Copper on upper lashline using MAC Charged Water.


Apply mascara. Using Coastal Scents mini-detail brush, apply Shadow A on inner lower lashline and Shadow C on outer lower lashline. Tightline and water-line using Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Zero.
