Aimee Lou's Beauty Blog: Smokey Plum

Hey ya'll! So I thought I would post this look that I did using some products from Mary Kay's new Limited Edition line Fairytales & Fantasies. (See previous post for product details)

I'm calling this look Smokey Plum.

First I primed my eyes with The Balm's Put A Lid On It (not shown). This is my favorite primer. I have pretty oily lids and this stuff keeps my eye shadows from not creasing.

Next I used the limited edition smoke & shimmer eye wand in Amethyst Smoke all over the lid as well as on the lower lash line and blended it out with my finger.

I then patted Mary Kay's mineral eye color in Iris on top of the Amethyst Smoke using a flat shading brush. Using this tip of the brush, I ran Iris along the lower lash line on top the Amethyst Smoke.

I used a blending brush and swept the color Tease from the Naked 2 palette (not shown) in my crease to help blend out the Iris color and creating that smokey look.

I didn't want shimmer in this look so I used Mary Kay's mineral eye color in White Sand for my inner corner highlight as well as my brow bone.

I then lined my upper lash line with Mary Kay's eyeliner in Black bringing it out into a slight wing. I like to keep my eyeliner looking smooth so I used Mary Kay's mineral eye color in Coal with an angled liner brush to smooth out that line.

I lined my lower lash line with Mary Kay's eyeliner in Amethyst.

To finish off the look, I cured and primed my lashed with Mary Kay's Lash Primer and topped it with Mary Kay's Lash Love Lengthening mascara. I used the new limited edition Lash Love Mascara in I <3 Plum on my lower lashes.

For my cheeks, I used the Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 hour Blush in Exposed. I then used it Cosmetic's Hello Light Creme Illuminator to highlight my cheekbones, down my nose and on my cupids bow.
