So I took a bit of an unplanned hiatus, and I am happy to say that I am finally back with a new blog post! While things have been rather busy for me, I still have had plenty of opportunity to shop and stash away new makeup! I have learned that I can accumulate new makeup much faster than I can blog about it :(
So I'd better get going!
Today's blog post features an absolutely stunning collection of shadows by Sleek Makeup. I picked up the Arabian Nights palette, and it has some beautiful shades if you are wanting to create a shimmery, sultry, colorful smoky eye. You can also go a bit dramatic and neutral with it as well, which is what I wanted to do for this look today.
I used a gold shadow on the lid, and blended it in to a blue, then used a gorgeous black on the outer edge.
I gently blended the colors, and used a soft bronze shadow as my transition color in the crease.
Let's see what I came up with! I hope you like it!

♥ UDPP
♥ Nyx Jumbo pencil in Milk to lid
