Two Looks, One Face

I just got a new no name eye palette from a dollar store and it's full of some amazing sheer and shimmer eye shadows. Last night I chose to try two different looks, they're similar and the idea behind it was that you could do one look in the morning for work / school / daytime and then just by adding a couple extra things you could take it up a notch for an awesome evening look. Note: I have no mascara on in these pictures so it's incomplete, I think mascara is what really pulls everything together so just use your imagination. This is just a reference tutorial if you would like to try a similar look.

This is the day look, I used the highlight color from Wet'n'Wilds Walking On Eggshells Palette for an all over and browbone highlight. Then I went through with a golden peach with gold shimmer, I applied this under my bottom lashline as well. This was done using a MAC 217. In the crease I used a bronze / copper shimmer shadow to give the look some depth, my inspiration was a sort of tropical sunset toned down for a work appropriate look, to achieve this I used Sephora's Angled Crease Brush. I finished everything off using a MAC 266 Angled Brush and NYX's matte black shadow, I ran it across my upper lashline and gave it a soft 'flick' at the end for some drama. 

Now, bring on the night!

For this look, I took the crease color from the day look and pulled in closer into my inner corner and beneath my lower lashline. I really love this color with brown eyes, I feel like it brightens everything in a seductive Keira Knightley way. Obviously, I added lots more liner, I used an NYX pencil to line my upper and lower waterlines. I also added more liner to the top and smudged it with, what else, a smudger!

By the way! 

Sorry I've been gone for so long, I've recently been accepted as an extern at a business I've been trying to get into for quite some time now. I'm having to invest a lot of time into the externship which leaves me little time for my blog, makeup, and other things that make me smile /: It's quite saddening to me, but I'm trying to understand it as a sacrifice that has to happen. I'm not stopping my blogging in anyway, so don't fear! And I'll still try to keep up as much as I can I just wanted to share what was going on. Thank you everyone who reads and takes time out of their day to see what I have to say, it's so crazy (: So again, thank you thank you thank you!!

XOX,
