NAKED 3 PALETTE X MAC HONEYLOVE | NEUTRAL LOOK

Inspired by rose hued neutrals and monotone products.

| EYES |
For the eyes I used MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly as a base. I then used Urban Decay primer in Sin on the center of the lid & inner corner.
I blended out the shade Limit in the crease - this will act as my transition colour as the other shades I use are all shimmer shades.
I used Trick in my inner half of the lid and liar in the outer half of the lid.
I then used Factory in my crease only going two thirds of a way in and Darkside for my outer corner.
Taking Mugshot I applied this along my lower lash line and Strange along my brow bone.
I went back in with Limit to blend everything out and used this to blend out Mugshot on the lower lash line.
I then used a white eyeliner by NYX along my waterline and tight lined with a gel pencil liner by Makeup Revolution. I created my winged liner with Soap & Glory Supercat Liner.

| LIPS |
I lined my lips with ELF Studio Lip Liner in Natural and used MAC Honeylove - it's a darker matte nude shade with a pink undertone - living for this shade RN <3

HOW TO WEAR BLUE BROWN EYES | FT. MAKEUP STORE MICROSHADOW 'VOLGA'


Today I'm basing this look around Make Up Store's Microshadow in the shade 'Volga' - a beautiful warm brown with blue duochrome. Agh it's so pretty and makes me want all of the shadows!
Even though it's a lovely colour I was a bit stuck on how I could incorporate it into a look, so if you're stuck for ideas here you are!
Also, if you didn't know BeautyBay.com now sell MUS products! They recently had a 3 for 2 where I got this eyeshadow with a lip liner (which I use in this look) and their lipstick in Pretty Baby.

 EYES | Firstly, I used MAC's pro longwear paint pot in Painterly as a base. I then used the shade Nooner from my Naked 3 palette as a crease colour. Taking some of MUS' microshadow in Volga onto a flat shadow brush I sprayed over with MAC's Fix Plus, to intensify the duochrome - I just wish my camera would pick up the intensity! Using a blending brush I took a small amount of Volga and blended this in with the crease colour. To transition the two colours I went back in with nooner and blend blend blend. Then taking Strange from the Naked 3 palette I used this along my brow bone and blended out Nooner with this. Layering and blending each shade with transitional colours is really key for a seamless blend. For the bottom lid/undereye I went in with the tiniest amount of Volga and did the same process of blending with Nooner and Strange.
I decided to create a wing, this is optional but I think it tied everything together. I then highlighted my inner corner and the center lid using Make Up Revolutions Awesome Metals in Rose Gold - it's exactly the same as the Stila Magnificent Metals but a fraction of the price! I actually used this dry and just dabbed with my finger rather than mixing with the liquid primer.


LIPS | For the lips used Make Up Stores lip liner in My Precious Coral, and then went over with Make Up Academy's Lipstick in Shade 16 Nectar (their lipsticks are literally £1) then used a clear gloss on top for a glossy finish.


Hope you enjoyed this post & got some inspiration or ideas for your duochrome shadows!
