Face
  • Mary Kay Day Solution
  • Mary Kay Moisturizer in Combination to Oily
  • Mary Kay Foundation Primer
  • Color Stay Whipped Crea, Makeup in 250 Medium Beige
  • Maybelline Instant Age Rewind, Eraser Dark Circles in Brightner 
  • Maybelline Instant Age Rewind in 20 Light Pale
  • Revlon Nearly Naked Pressed Powder in 010 Fair
  • NYX Matte Body Bronzer in Deep Tan 
    • For contouring
  • Mary Kay blush in Sunny Spice
    • In the hollows of my cheek, working as a contouring
  • Mary Kay blush in Appricot Breeze
    • On my cheek bones
  • NYX Blush in Mauve
    • On just the apples of my cheeks
Eyes 
  • Maybelline Color Tattoo in Barely Beige
    • Over the lid and up to my brow bone and then in the corner of my eye to work as a shadow base
  • Ulta shadow in Bermuda Sand 
    • Over the lid and up to my brow bone and then in the corner of my eye
  • The Glinda Palette shadow in South
    • All over the lid
  • The Glinda Palette shadow in Tornado
    • In the outter corner of my lid and worked into the crease and slightly above
  • Revlon ColorStay Eye in Black Brown
    • On just my top lid
  • Jordan in eggplant with Tornado shadow over top
    • On just my bottom lid
  • Almay Get up and Grow Mascara in Brownish Black
Lips
  • EOS chapstick in Melon
  • The Glinda Palette lip color - Glinda
  • The Theodora Palette lip color - Theodora

I'm completely loving the eye look I'm acheiving with these shadows.  It's a look I'm using everyday, but it just has a little extra spin.  The purple of the Tornado in the crease and the Eggplant eyeliner is not an in your face purple, but provides a nice little pop and also brings out a fun color in my eyes!  

This look could easily be made into a more dramatic look by adding more of the Tornado into the crease and bringing the color higher onto the brown bone, using a black liquid liner to wing out the eyeliner on your top lid and/or adding some fake lashes.

I find that with the lip colors provided in both palettes, the Glinda color is just too close to my natural lip color and the Theodora is just a little too bold of a red. BUT, combined together they make the perfect lip color! Just remember, never be afraid to pair colors together to get the perfect color for you!
