Hey lovelies! How was your Thanksgiving? We had a quiet but relaxing Thanksgiving with family and friends, and here is the look that I sported for Thanksgiving dinner. I used mineral shadows to create a smokey eye look. Some people are afraid of using loose shadows because of the fallout, especially dark ones. I honestly found a way to minimize fallout, and that is to use a damp brush, and everything applies a lot easier and better. In this look, I used mostly mineral eyeshadows from Aromaleigh, but the techniques I used for this look can also be used for most loose eyeshadows.
I also used the highlighter and black shades from this
Stila Smoky Eye palette for this look.
I used my favorite smokey eye eyeshadow base, Benefit's
Skinny Jeans.
I used my beautiful
Rock & Republic blush in
Immoral. It is the most gorgeous matte bright coral. It is finely milled (jet-milled), and the pigmentation is way off the charts, so a light hand is definitely recommended. I used a fan brush for this blush to apply the slightest whisper of color on the cheeks. I used
EnKore No. 1 Fan brush:
I will be making a review and post swatches of my
Rock & Republic blushes soon. I have 3 R&R blushes right now and 4 others coming my way.
To add a little shimmer, I applied a tiny bit of MAC
Stereo Rose mineralize skinfinish on top of Immoral blush.
Here is a step by step. All products Aromaleigh unless otherwise stated.
Apply
Urban Decay in Sin primer potion all over lid and lower lashline. Using a fluffy shader brush, apply Benefit's Creaseless Cream Shadow in
Skinny Jeans on lid.
Using the
Charm Pro shader brush or a MAC 239 brush, apply
Basil foiled on the lid using
MAC Fix+.
