Mahogany Smoke | Get The Look

Hey Ya'll!!  

So today I'm doing a post on this eye look. (Obvi lol)

I kind of just threw it together by mistake and ended up loving it so I wanted to share! :)

All of the other face products I used will be listed below, but since this post is focusing on the eyes that info is what will be most detailed. 

I mostly used the Morphe 35o palette for this look, so starting with that...

1. Mixing some of 1 & 2 on a fluffy blending brush, apply that into your crease & upward in windshield wiper motions until completely blended.  

2. Mix 3 & 4 on a pointed crease brush and apply into your crease, further defining it.  Starting in the center of your crease and going outward to the corner of your eye.  Pick up more product on your brush as needed and then blend from center in towards your inner corner. 

*Be sure to leave the very center of your lid clean for a different shadow you'll apply later.

* Do this as much as needed to darken it to your desired shade.

3. Take a clean, soft blending brush and blend out all of the edges of the shadow you just applied in your crease.

4. With a liner brush- take a mix of 4 & 5 and apply it to your lower lash line, and then smudge it out.

5. Apply L'Oreal "Iced Latte" in the center of your lid with a soft shader brush. 

6. Take the shade "Summer" from the Anastasia Beverly Hills Sun Dipped Glow Kit and apply it on top of "Iced Latte" for an extra POP!

(This palette is seriously so GORG!! If you don't have it you need to get it like last week.)

7. Then also apply "Summer" to your brow bone & inner corner. 

(After I apply my brow highlight I always go back and blend the line between where my crease color ends & my brow bone highlight begin.)

8. Apply your mascara and you're done! 

 (I used L'Oreal Carbon Black & Maybelline Push-Up Drama)

A Night Out | Super Bowl 50🏈 (ft Morphe 35o Palette)

Today I'm going to be sharing the deets for this eye look.  

I kind of just threw this together while I was getting ready today and really love the way it turned out so I wanted to share.  :-) 

I started with my typical routine..  Applied moisturizer, BB cream, concealer, and then set my face.  Ya know, to control my inner grease ball.  

I used the highly sought after Morphe 35o palette and the Sonia Kashuk no. 109  brush.  

The #109 blending brush has legit become a holy grail of mine and I plan on ordering more!! 

(All items used will be detailed below.)

I found tonight that these specific shadows blend muuuuch better with a dense blending brush rather than a shadow or crease brush.  So I used the SK no. 109 with every shadow and blended blended blended so that it didn't become muddy looking.  

Unfortunately, these shadows do not have names, so I have put numbers on the shadows I used and will explain in further detail below when and how I used each one.  

EYES:

These shades are darker in person, I used flash to take this photo.

Starting out I took a little of 1 & 2 on my brush and blended them into my crease and upwards towards my brow bone, blending until it looked smooth.  

Then I went into 3 & 4 softly blending them into my outer V (outer corner) after must was applied I brushed up and across my crease with any excess left on my brush.  

Next taking 5 & 6 I added more into the outer V and into the crease to darken it up a bit more.  I then blended all of the shadows together more by doing windshield wiper motions back and fourth in my crease and along my outer corner.  Afterwards I took a small amount of 7 and blended it all into my crease and my outer corner.  

I never took any of the shadows all over my lid, I feel leaving the lid plain adds a better look and more dimension when the look is finished.  You could even take one of the lighter shades and add it to your lid afterwards if you want.   

(If you feel it isn't as dark as you'd like just keep going back in with the shadows, blending well between each application.)

To finish off I used 8 & 9 to highlight my brow bone and then added some black eyeliner on my bottom lash line & smudged it out with the darker shadows I used from the palette.  

The key with smokey looks and especially these shadows is blend blend blend!!!  

It's taken me a little bit to get the hang of this palette, but I do love it and think it's worth the hype!

FACE

For my contour and blush I used my Benefit Cosmetics Cheekathon Palette.  

I used the brush shown and applied Hoola to the hallows of my cheek bones and temples to add warmth & dimension to my face.  

I really love Hoola.  It's so versatile and I think it is a perfect bronzer for any skin type and for contouring beginners, because it's light and matte..  You don't get a ton of product in 1 swipe so it's easier to build up and harder to accidentally apply too much.  ;-)

For blush I used Dandelion (top left) and then Rockateur (top right) over it.  

Easy peasy!  

Finished Look:

I hope y'all enjoy this little informational demo.  I'm going to list all products used for this look below as well as where they can be found!  ;-)
