It's been a while since I've done a blog post, and I've missed you! There are a special few of you that check in on me while I am away, and I really appreciate it. Some of my dearest friends are my fellow bloggers and I don't know what I would do without you. Thank you so much for being awesome and I hope you all had a wonderful new year!!
For this week's makeup look, I wanted to do a simple smoky eye using some shadows from the E.L.F. NYC Baked Eyeshadow palette. This look features the metallic gunmetal shade; it's shimmery, sultry, and gorgeous!
The E.L.F. Baked Eyeshadow palettes are some of my favorites. I love the assortment of shadows, and they are extremely affordable ($10). I've collected a few of these palettes over the years, and I love them!
Let's see the look:
EYES:
♥ UDPP
♥ Nyx Jumbo Pencil in Cashmere to lid
♥ Nyx Jumbo Pencil in Slate to lower lash line
♥ Ulta Shadow in Naked (Matte Vanilla) from brow bone to crease
♥ Shadow 1 (shimmering white) to inner corner
♥ Shadow 2 (gunmetal) to lid, blended up to crease
♥ Shadow 3 (metallic bronze) to crease
♥ Shadow 4 (metallic brown) to outer V, and edge of lower lash line
♥ Shadow 5 (shimmering gold) as transition color, above crease
♥ Black eyeliner to lash and waterline
♥ Black mascara
♥ Red Cherry 415 Lashes
FOUNDATION & BLUSH:
♥ Maybelline Fit Me Foundation in 120

And there you have it. An easy smoky eye that is captivating on a cold night. ☺
