30 Day Makeup Challenge Day 4: Smoky Eye

Don't try this at home, kids. Valentine's Day eye with shades of rose and pink, and smoky, too? Oh, yeah. that's what you got here!

 

I used these things:

  • Of course, MAC Paint Pot in Soft Ochre as a primer
  • Base: Maybelline Color Tattoo the Limited Edition Pink color bought at Target
  • Lid: Urban Decay Vice Palette in Freebird
  • Lid, at edges to model shape: Urban Decay Naked 1 in Toasted
  • Crease: Urban Decay Vice Palette in Lace, and Urban Decay Naked 1 Buck
  • Crease, Upper and Lower Lash Line and Outer Lid in a V Shape: Sigma Paris Palette: Élyssée
  • Browbone: Sigma Paris Palette in Versailles
  • Mascara: Stila Forever Your Curl in Black
  • Tightliner: Urban Decay 27/7 Pencil in Perversion
  • Tightliner sealer: Urban Decay Naked Palette in Creep, and Paris Palette Eiffel - I used the blacks with shimmer to seal the black smoky liner.
  • Cheeks: Sigma Paris Palette in Peche
  • Cheek HIghlight: Sigma Paris Palette in Lumiere
  • Lips: Revlon Just Bitten Balmstain in Darling - love this pale lavender!
  • Under Eyes: Cinema Secrets Peach Corrector in Light

 

So I did have the bloops and blips of smeary bits under my eyes during the day, and I used the old cotton buds to blot from time to time, and I kept using a soft fluffy brush to blend out the smoky stuff under my eye.

I think my husband really likes the smoky eye, maybe because it's a bit undone and messed up.

How do you like this look? I thought it was lots of fun.

Happy Valentine's Day, y'all!

Love, BeautyJones

Tour de France: Last Stage: Champs Elysées

This is my set to celebrate all of the wonders of the Tour de France, which finished up dramatically yesterday on the streets of Paris. This year's Tour was one of my favorites, with nearly every stage full of drama and heroism and color. I love this sport! So excited the Olympics are starting and there will be another cycling road race next Saturday. Hooray! Vive le Tour! Long Live Cycling! Love, :)BeautyJones
