I decided to put to use the NYC smokey eye palette I received on my Beauty Bloggers Vox Box.
NYC Smokey Palette |
Primer and Illuminator swatched. |
The shadows were very pigmented.
First Look
Kitty Cat Eye Makeup |
I used the light color on the inner corner and a little to highlight my
brow bone, the second to dark grey-ish color all over the lid, and the
darker grey-ish black color on my outer v and a little on the crease. I
then used MAC's Soft Brown to blend out any harsh lines. Applied thick
eyeliner using a felt tip liner (Bombshell liner I received from the
October Ipsy bag), used some Sally Hansen silver glitter to go over the
liner and MAC's Kohl eye pencil for the water line. I also applied the
Kiss false lashes I received from the VoxBox and ta-da! The eye makeup
is complete. By the way, I am really loving the lashes. They are so natural
looking and the glue was great! Not once did these babies try to come
off.
2nd Look
Soft Smokey Eye Look |
For this look, I applied the light color on the inner corners of my eyes, I then mixed the light silver shadow with the grey-ish shadow and applied that to my lid, then I used the dark grey-ish black shadow for my outer v (used it very lightly), and used the same shadow on the lower lash line. Applied liquid liner, MAC's Kohl liner to water line, and mascara. Really simple and makes your eyes pop!
So far I am liking the NYC palette. The colors are pigmented but apply very soft. I have to really pack on the shadow if I want the shadows to show up darker. Other than that, it's a great palette and I plan to keep using it for some more soft smokey eye looks.

I love the smokey eye with the glitter, gahh your talented! You make me want to start playing around with makeup again. I got so boring and do the bare minimum now a days. I think I'll spice it up with some glitter this weekend. Keep up the amazing work love! :)
