Subtle Shimmery Smoke

Hello hello!  TGIF everyone!  Too bad I'm about to head off to work, PLUS I'm getting over a cold.  Blargh...  I'm also going out to a super fancy-schmancy dinner...the kind where they serve an 8-course chef's tasting menu with wine pairings.  Sounds good, right?  Not if you've lost most of your sense of taste, which is oftentimes what happens when you have a cold.  Nooooooooooooo!  But, that aside, just thought I'd share my look of the day with you all.  I did a subtle, shimmery smokey eye which I'll  intensify with more black shadow and false lashes tonight when I go out:


Achieving this look is a piece of cake.  First, I applied a shimmery grey cream shadow all over my top and bottom lids.  Here, I used Buxom's Stay-There Eyeshadow in Pug.  Then I darkened my outer corners with Sephora Collection Eyeshadow in Starry Sky No. 7.  Next, I drew a winged line along my top lash line with black gel eyeliner and then finished with some mascara.  Done, done, and done!


To complete the overall look, I applied some ELF Studio Blush in Twinkle Pink to my cheeks and finished with a barely-there lip using ELF Studio Glossy Gloss in Pink Candy:


Thanks for reading and for listening to my rant, haha!  Hope you all enjoy a fabulous weekend! :D

Hugs,
Cat

    it tickles me whenever you use your pug eyeshadow XD the looks are always so pretty (then again, i pretty much love all your eye makeup) and i love pugs! makes me think of frank from men in black in all his cute and gruff glory! but in, ya know, an elegant makeup glam kind of way. um, anyway, this is a very pretty and soft look! :D

      Lol, what a cute thought! Yeah, I find it refreshingly whimsical how Buxom names its shadows after pups. :D Thanks for the compliment, always appreciated! xoxo
