get the look...

THE TOOLS

EYE SHADOW
STEP 1:
APPLY CREAM SHADOW EVENLY OVER THE ENTIRE LID
Shadow: Bobbi Brown Long Wear Cream Shadow (Malted 17)
I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS SHADOW! (even by itself)
Brush: Bobbi Brown Cream Blending Brush
(Any cream shadow brush brand will do, but using the right brush makes a huge difference)

STEP 2:
APPLY HIGHLIGHTING SHADE ON INNER CORNER OF THE EYE AND BELOW
THE BROWN BONE (this opens up your eye and brightens your face)
Shadow: MAC (SHROOM Satin)
Brush: Sephora Blending Brush
(Any shimmery champagne/gold/white shadow will work as a  highlighter)
STEP 3:
USE YOUR FLUFFY BLENDING BRUSH AND WITH A FAN MOTION
SWEEP A MATTE BROWN COLOR ON YOUR CREASE.
Shadow: Urban Decay Naked Palette (Naked for day time, Buck for night time)
Brush: Sephora Blending Brush
THIS SHOULD BE THE FINAL SHADOW LOOK BELOW
(I filled in my brows)




EYE LINER
These marker looking liners are the easiest applicators ever! I've always been terrible
at applying liquid liner until I found these. I bought REVLON and then tried MAC
thinking it would be better, but I see no difference so I say go for REVLON and save
half the money!
STRETCH OUT YOUR LID AND MAKE AN EVEN LINE OVER YOUR LASH
LINE AND BELOW YOUR BOTTOM LASH, SO THAT BOTH LINES
CONNECT ON THE CORNER OF YOUR EYE AND MAKE A LITTLE WING.
Liner: REVLON ColorStay Liquid Eye Pen in Blackest Black

NEXT, LINE YOUR WATER LINE WITH A WHITE PENCIL (you can also use beige).
This opens up your eye, it's especially useful if you have small eyes.
Pencil: Chanel Intense Eye Pencil Color BLANC

LASHES
THE MOST IMPORTANT PART! MASCARA... WITHOUT THIS YOUR LOOK ISN'T FINISHED.
ALWAYS CURL YOUR LASHES BEFORE, NOT AFTER MASCARA.
THEN DO ONE COAT, LET IT DRY, AND REPEAT ONCE OR TWICE DEPENDING
ON HOW MUCH DRAMA YOU WANT.
Mascara: Dior's DIORSHOW ICONIC
I didn't personally love this brand, so I suggest you buy CoverGirl Lash Blast instead.

CHEEKS
USE A BRONZER (with or without shimmer) AND APPLY IT ON THE CHEEK BONES AND TEMPLE
WITH A STIPPLING BRUSH. IF YOU USE A REGULAR BLUSH BRUSH YOU WILL CONCENTRATE
ALL THE PRODUCT WHERE YOU FIRST PLACE THE BRUSH. USING A STIPPLING BRUSH MAKES
ALL THE DIFFERENCE.
Bronzer: BOBBI BROWN Shimmer Brick Compact in color Bronze
Stipple Brush: elf (cheapest brand ever!) check out www.elfcosmetics.com
NOW THAT YOU CONTOURED YOUR CHEEKBONES, ADD A PINK SHADE TO THE APPLES
OF YOUR CHEEKS IN A CIRCULAR MOTION.
Blush: Chanel Color 68 ROSE ECRIN
Brush: Le Metier de Beaute Blush Brush

LIPS
FINALLY! APPLY A BRIGHT LIPSTICK OF YOUR CHOICE TO TIE IT
ALL TOGETHER!
Lipstick: CoverGirl 325 spellbound envoutee


FINITO!!!
THIS IS THE LOOK! Enjoy making it your own! Add lashes for more drama!

Now don't get intimidated by the million pics I posted. The steps are easy.
EYES
1. Cream Shadow, Highlight, Brown Contour.
2. Black Liner and White Liner Optional.
3. Curl the lashes and apply mascara.
CHEEKS
1. Stippling brush for bronzer on cheek bones
2. Blush brush for blush on apples of cheeks.
LIPS
1. Lipstick of your choice!

The brands make no difference. Whatever brand you like will do!
I absolutely recommend the cream shadow from Bobbi Brown, it's a great
base for any other color and alone it gives you a very clean day time look!

XOXOXO!!!
