STYLE BY MELI

I have to say that I really like the outcome of this look and it photographed really nicely in my opinion.  When I create these looks for my blog, I really try to come up with new looks to share with everyone and often times they are looks I’ve never even done before.  It’s way more fun this way!  It’s a surprise for you and me both! :)

Eyes:  Started out with a shimmery greenish brown lid with deep plum shadow smoked out softly on the corners.  The brow highlight has a blue pearlized shimmer undertone.

*  MAC “Club” – lid  
(This color is DEFINITELY a staple, could be used as a lid or crease and used both daytime and in the evening).
*  MAC “Folie” – entire crease
*  MAC “Vellum” – brow highlight
*  MAC “Shadowy Lady” – outer corner 

[MAC #48 lashes complete the final look, MAC "Graphblack" bottom eye liner, MAC "Rapidblack" top eye liner]

I especially like this lip combo (although I tend to not wear neutrals like this very often). I think it works well because there is a pop of color on the cheeks and the eyes are more smokey.

Cheeks:  I went with a bright matte pink. 

*  Stila “Self Adjusting Pink” custom color blush
(I absolutely love this blush and don’t wear it enough!  I bought this at the Makeup Show in May.  I just went on Sephora and discovered they now make a “Self Adjusting Coral!”  OMG…going to have to pick this up!) 

Lips:  I went with a frosted gold lipstick lined with a taupe brown pencil, finished with a glittery tangerine tinted lip gloss.  (I LOVE this lip combo!  Been wearing this for a few days now!)

*  MAC “Stone” pencil lip liner
(I LOVE THIS LIP PENCIL!  I know it’s not the prettiest color by sight, but looks GREAT with a lot of things.  It doesn’t truly match this gold frosted lipstick, but it happened to be what I had in front of me and I actually really love how this taupe brown lip pencil looks with the gold).   

*  MAC “Gel” lipstick

*  MAC “Flurry of Fun” lipglass [Discontinued]

[Feel free to comment on the look or if you have any questions regarding the products I used, THANKS!]
