Sunday Smokey Eye

I was feeling a light smokey eye for work today and had been wanting to try out ELF's Gunmetal Cream Liner that I picked up last week. I used the cream liner as a base all over the lid and just slightly into the crease. I topped it with Stake (matte medium grey), Dusk (light/medium matte brown) to blend out the crease & edges. Then lightly on top of Stake I applied Bayou (shimmery gold). The eyeshadow shades are all from Tarte's TrueBlood Palette. A picture of the palette can be found in a previous post. I love this kind of look for fall. Its so simple to achieve with whatever lid colour you like then blended out with a soft brown.

Too Faced Smokey Eye Palette-EOTD

Finally getting around to using the Too Faced Smokey Eye Palette I got for my birthday this month. This is Too Faced second Smokey Eye, the previous one was out roughly 3-4 years ago. They are quite a bit different. I will be putting together a comparison post soon. This is my 5th Too Faced boxed palette. I haven't gotten their new Matte Eye yet, perhaps for Xmas. I find that Too Faced is totally underrated in the makeup community. Their shadows are fantastic!! So buttery and pigmented. They even do non-chalky mattes. Too Faced always seems to be in Urban Decay's shadow. Which I think is a total shame since I adore both equally. I had been anxious to use the gorgeous purple-Smoking Jacket so I planned this look around that shade. I blended this down alot since it is daytime and I didn't want it to be too intense for work. Please excuse the shiny forehead, it is HOT today.

I used:

Firefly on the inner half of the lid

Up in Smoke in the crease and outer v

Smoking Jacket on the outer half of the lid

Annabelle's matte white to highlight (not pictured)

Physician's Formula Gel Eyeliner in purple (from Green Eyes stack)

Maybelline Colossal Mascara on upper lashes
