Face of the Day ~ Bright Smoke

Posted by in FotD, looks | 5 comments

Was heading out to see some live music this past Friday and figured I’d do something full on colour and drama. I was torn between brights and a dark smokey eye, and so I paired them together. It was the perfect time to dust off my Ben Nye palette, the colours are so remarkably pigmented and vibrant! Since the eyes were bright, slightly smokey and lashed out I went with only a contour for the cheeks and a subtle lip.

    Love orange/tangerine on you, especially paired with the smokiness. And wow, your lashes are out of this world, lady! Even though they’re falsies ;)

    Hair is cute, too :)

      Thank you. The sunset colours from that palette are out of this world, I’m really happy that it came out so well.. especially since there wasn’t a coloured base used underneath. Those lashes are fun, they’re like the 20 lashes bigger more flashy sister. :]
