Navy Smoky Eyes and Red Lips

Hello everyone and happy Saturday! I wanted to share the look that I am wearing today. I did a navy blue smoky eye and rocked it with a red lip. If you would like to know what products I used to achieve this look, keep on reading!

For foundation, I used my It Cosmetics CC cream in Fair. Since I threw out my makeup sponges (they were gross!), I applied this straight with my fingers... it is a bit more difficult for me though as my skin is getting dryer as the cooler weather approaches. It will be time to switch to a more hydrating formula.

To conceal my dark circles, I used my Tarte CC Undereye corrector in Light-Medium (this is the lightest shade that I have found...not sure if there is a lighter one. This is currently a bit dark for me). I blended that out using my finger as I have not been able to make it work with a brush. I am still debating about how I feel about this concealer. I am not sure if I just have not figured out how to apply it or if it is that I need a different setting powder but this thing creases on me ridiculously! Other than that, I really do like the coverage.

I primed my lids using my Too Faced Shadow Insurance. I applied this with my ring finger and blended that out up towards the brow. 

I set that primer with the shade Snow Angel from the It Cosmetics Naturally Pretty Celebration palette.

I then went in with the color Starry Night and a flat shader brush and applied that to the lid and blended it out into the crease. This is a matte navy blue shade. 

I then used a crease brush and the colors Toasty and Spice (both taupes) and blended them into the crease. Since this palette is very cool, if you want to warm up the look you can always go in with a warmer brown like Peanut Butter from the Too Faced Milk Chocolate Bar, or even a bronzer and swipe that into the crease.

I used my Besame Lavender brightening setting powder and applied that to my concealer and then blended it out all over my face with a big fluffy powder brush. 

I picked up a bit more of Starry Night on a pencil brush and applied/blended into the lower lash line.

I filled in my brows using the NYX brow pencil in dark brown and set that with my essence clear lash and brow gel.

I picked up a small crease brush and swirled it through the Transforming Pearl shade and used that as a brow bone highlight.

I then went in with my Sephora contour brush set and the color Lo-Fi from the UD Gwen Stefani face palette and applied that to my cheek bones, jawline, and hair line to warm up my very pasty pale skin.

For blush I used the Tarte shade in Peaceful. This is a shimmery coral that is perfect for the cooler weather. I applied that with a Real Techniques blush brush.

For highlight, I used my Laura Mercier Matte Radiance Baked highlight and a small blush brush and applied that to my cheekbones.

I set all that makeup using my Mario Badescu rose water spray.

I then went in with my Tarte Amazonian Clay pot in black and a Makeup Geek bent liner and applied liner to my upper lash line, winging it out. I love this liner, it is super creamy and super black. As for the liner, I think it is THE perfect liner for someone that is getting started with gel liner, or just wants a little more control over the application.

I then applied my Tarte Camera Lashes mascara to my top lashes. I used zigzag motions starting at the root of the lashes and moving to the tips. I find this is the best way to enhance the effects of each mascara. 

Finally, to finish off the look, I used the NYX lipstick in Snow White. This is a classic red lipstick that is perfect for that pop of color.

That is all! I hope you enjoyed this look. I hope you have a great rest of your weekend!
