Purple Everyday Eye Look

2 posts in one day.. what is this?

Here's another eye look I did for my friend Hope for an everyday eye look.  I used mostly Smashbox products and Sephora collection brushes.

I used Smashbox Liquid Halo foundation to even out her skin, and to hydrate it and reduce any redness.  I also bronzed her skin with Too Faced Sun Bunny bronzer, and used Nars Deep Throat Blush and Benefit Watts Up highlighter to finish off her face.  I also used Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer in Vanilla to help conceal any under eye circles.  

For the eyes, I used a Smashbox trio of purple eyeshadows and did a simple highlight, all over color, and crease.  I lined her eyes with Smashbox Always Sharp Liner in Navy (which I absolutely LOVED with the purple! Probably the best liner ever, perfect pigmentation and I love the sharpening feature). We finished the look with DiorShow Exstase Mascara and a Laura Mercier Lipstick.

As always, let me know if you have any questions, and I hope you love this look!

Copper Smoky Eye Using the Naked Palette!

Hey guys!

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday.  I am currently snowed in, snuggled by the fire with my laptop and some tea. I did this look on my friend Lauren a while ago, but just remembered to post it now! Here's what it looked like:

For this look, I used the Naked palette from Urban Decay.  I first mixed the colors Buck and Naked and placed them all over the lid.  Then I used Virgin to highlight her brow bone and placed it rather heavily in her inner corner to brighten up the look and to make her eyes stand out.  I used Smog in the crease, and followed with Darkhorse and Creep and then blended until I felt the crease was just dark enough to define her eyes, yet would still give her a little bit more of a dramatic nighttime eye look.  I lined her upper lash line and half of her lower lash line with Bobbi Brown Black Ink gel eyeliner, and to finish her eyes, I used YSL Babydoll mascara (it is AMAZING).  I wanted to keep her skin at a very natural finish, so I used Clinique CC cream on her in the shade light, and then did a quick all-over bronze instead of a contour.  

This look would be perfect for an evening look, or you could stop at the Smog color in the crease to make the look a little lighter for daytime wear.

Hope you like this and happy new year!

Love, Lexi
