Royal Blue and Gold

            Hello everyone! Here is a quick post of a look I did. Recently I have been looking for inspiration for upcoming looks. And a painting I am currently working on inspired me to continue doing these creative looks. Also I have my eyes on Makeup Forever Flash palette and was wondering what your thoughts are on this palette. If you know of any other great bright eyeshadow palette please let me know. 

I hope you like the look :)

Products Used:

Eyes:

-I began by priming the eyelid with Laura Mercier's Secret Camouflage (the lightest shade) and then setting it with Lancome Dual Finish Powder

-On the inner corners of the lid I used one of my all-time favorite eyeshadows, MAC Ricepaper!

-On the outer eyelid I applied a gorgeous orange-copper shade from Tarina Tarantinos Dreamy palette

-To add more warmth and depth I applied MAC Saddle (a matte shade) on the crease

-To highlight brows I used MAC Ricepaper on the brow bone

----Now onto the lining part!----

-To create the sharp white line I used NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk and then set it with MAC Phloof! eyeshadow

-The royal blue eyeliner is Napoleon China Doll liner in Heaven

-And the gold is Milani Aqua liner in Gold

1. Korres Wild Rose 24-Hour Moisturizer- the perfect base for under makeup. It moisturizes without being heavy

3. Guerlain Lingerie De Peau- Another great everyday foundation that mimics your natural skin
4. Bobbi Brown Corrector- perfect for neutralizing the under-eye darkness
5. Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer- helps brighten the under-eye area
6. Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage Concealer- Covers all skin imperfections (zits, skin discolorations, scars) and always looks natural
7. Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder- a MUST have for setting your liquid foundation
8. Guerlain Terracota Bronzing Powder- a natural moisturizing bronzing powder that will never leave your bronzer looking blotchy
