A Wearable Smokey Eye

hey.hi.hello.

This has been my go to look for this week, so I figured I'd sharee

It's easy enough that I can hit the snooze button a few times and still manage to look 'done up'

But if you wanted to make it more dramatic you could definitely spend a little more time with it.

And the fact that that it's champagne and a mixture of browns and other neutrals makes this a great look, no matter your eye color.

LOOK: Raised CatEye

Hi Everyone !

I decided to upload one of my favorite nighttime looks. ever. It's a really simple smokey raised cat eye, but this look can go wrong in alot of ways if you don't take your time.

The most difficult part of the look is the placement of the black eyeshadow.

Apply too much and you have to start all over

Don't get the position right, and you have to start all over

The finished product is 100% worth the trouble, so don't be intimidated.

Another thing that I love about this look is the versatility it allows.

You can change the eyelid color to pretty much anything and it'll still look amazing.

I typically use a champagne or a neutral shimmer just to make sure it goes with whatever I'm wearing that night.

I'm blabbing too much hahah, ENJOY =D

***TIPS***

After applying your eyelid color, apply creep starting at the crease and work into your eye.

Without picking up more product 'raise' the color UP & IN.

After you get the desired shape, apply Creep from the edge of lashline to where the color starts in the crease.

Blend the edge of Creep with a very small smount of Gunmetal

GOODLUCK =D

PRODUCT DON'T !

Don't be fooled ladies, this palette is not worth the $26 Victoria's Secret is selling it for.
The Midnight Glamour deluxe eye palette caught my eye the second I walked to the beauty section of the store, and why wouldn't it the colors are gorgeous. I wanted to do a navy smokey eye over the weekend, and I had to have this palette to accomplish such a task. After swatching all 4 eyeshadows, I was sold. [The black is a gel eyeliner.] Once I got it home I tested it out immediately with the dual ended eyeshadow/eyeliner brush and my initial opinions changed. The shadows, once applied to my eyelids after a primer were really dull. The last eyeshadow pictured, [which looks like a sparkly blue in the picture] is really a dark black with amazing blue reflux in person & was primarily the reasion I fell in love at the mall. But after I applied it, it didn't make my eyes pop at all. And there was tons of fall out from all 4 of the shadows. Not to mention the amount of shadow needed to be packed onto my brush was ridiculous for such a depressing outcome. The Black gel eyeliner, was way less than impressive and to be really honest, I'm not even sure why Victoria's Secret is selling it. When I dipped the eyeliner brush in the gel, all it did was scrape. Not okay. So I tried a different brush, giving the company the benfit of the doubt. Even my Sonia Kashuk eyeliner brush wasn't picking up the product. I'm disappointed. But I should've known better, I purchased a single eyeshadow color last  year from Victoria's Secret and pretty much had the same problem. Too much product had to be applied to a brush, and too much product wound up on my cheeks rather than my eyelid.
Beware girls, don't let the sapphire jeweled packaging fool you..
