Dominique Cosmetics Latte Palette Look #3


Purple Halo Eyes


Hello everyone! I am back with another look... and as it seems, I have been on a purple kick! This time, I created a halo eye using the Dominique Cosmetics palette and MAC lipstick in Heroine. Although the eyes did not turn out perfect, I like the overall look. If you want to know how I achieved this look, keep on reading!



I started off priming my lids with my NYX eyeshadow base and set that with the shade Cream from the Lorac Pro palette.


I then took the shade Caramel, which is a matte taupe-y orange shade and applied that to the crease.


Using the shade Double Shot (a rich matte magenta shade) and a flat shader brush, I applied the color to the inner corner and the outer corner. I blended a bit of that shade in the crease to create a sort of transition. 


I applied a tiny bit of the Nars Radiant Creamy concealer to the middle of the lid and blended that out using the smaller end of my beautyblender. You could also use a brush or your finger if you prefer to do so. 


In that empty spot that I created, I applied the shade Macchiato, which is a shimmery silver/light gold color. I did not get my colors on correctly (was not wearing my glasses and couldn't see very well lol). But you want this gap to be where the middle of your pupil will be once you look straight on. So you want to aim for the middle of the lid. 


To correct and conceal the under eyes, I used the benefit Boi-ing concealer and the Nars concealer in vanilla. I used my finger to blend the benefit concealer and the beautyblender to blend the Nars concealer. 


For foundation, I am currently in between shades so I mixed a bit of the Tarte Rainforest of the sea in fair light neutral and a tiny bit of the Smashbox studio skin in shade 0.5. I blended that out with the Tarte foundation brush and touched up on the spots that were streaky with a beautyblender.


I set all of that with the Laura Mercier translucent setting powder.


To fill in my brows, I used the color espresso from the Lorac Pro palette.


I then set that with my essence brow gel in brownie browns.


For an inner/brow bone highlight, I used the shade Light Pink from the Lorac Pro palette.


I used the shade Taupe as a contour shade.


I slightly dabbed a blush brush into the shade Mauve (a beautiful matte purple shade) and applied that as a blush (if you are fair like me, the lightest hand is the best, if you apply too much, you will look bruised!).


For highlight, I used the shade Nude (a beautiful shimmery pink) from the Lorac Pro palette.


I set everything with the Mario Badescu rose water spray.


I then lined the top lash and created a wing.


For mascara, I used the UD Troublemaker mascara and applied two coats to the top lashes.


To finish off the look, I applied the MAC lipstick in the shade Heroine. This is a beautiful statement lippie in a cool purple shade. 

I hope you all enjoyed this look! Thanks for reading!

Dominique Cosmetics Latte Palette: Look #2

Colorful Neutrals Look



Hello everyone! Here is another look using my Dominique cosmetics Latte Palette and my ISH lip statement palette. I opted to use some of the colorful shades in the palette. If you want to know how I achieved this look, keep on reading!


I started by priming my lids with the NYX eye shadow base and setting that with my cream shade from the Lorac Pro palette.


I then took the shade Doubleshot which is a matte purple, and applied that to the crease and outer V.


I then applied the shade Macchiato (a shimmery light gold/silver) to the lid of the eye.


For the under eyes, I combined the benefit Boi-ing concealer and my Tarte Rainforest of the Sea concealer in fair light.


For foundation, I used a bit of the Tarte Rainforest of the Sea in the shade fair light neutral. I blended that out with my foundation brush.


I set my under eyes with my Laura Mercier translucent powder.


I set my face with my Physician's formula pressed powder and a big fluffy brush.


I filled my brows with the shade espresso from my Lorac Pro palette.


I set my brows with my essence brow gel.

I I used the shade light pink from the Lorac Pro palette as the brow bone highlight.


For contour/bronzer, I used the shade Taupe from my Lorac Pro.


For blush, I used the shade Mauve from Lorac Pro.


For highlight, I used the shade Nude (a shimmery pink) from my Lorac Pro palette.


To set my makeup, I used my Mario Badescu rose water spray.


I lined my eyes with the Tarte Sex kitten liner.


For mascara, I used the UD Troublemaker and applied two coats.


I then took the shade Cold Brew, which is a matte teal shade, and smudged it to the lower lash line.


To finalize the look, I took this light, pepto-like pink and applied it to my lips. Since it was too light, I mixed it in with a raspberry shade (the one being covered by my finger). These are from the ISH lip palette. 

I really like how this look turned out, I like the purple, the teal, and the purplish tone to the lips. 

I hope you enjoyed it as well! Thanks so much reading!
