Step 1 After moisturizing, I used my Fit Me foundation and applied it with a M.A.C. 187. Instead of stippling, which is what this brush is actually intended for, I buffed. Buffing is just spreading the makeup in circular motions, it gives a really even finish and helps the product set into the skin. I threw on a little blush in Cheek from M.A.C. and then applied the highlight to my cheeks, and down the bridge of my nose.

Step 2 The real focal point of this look was in the eyes. Although I'm usually not one to wear heaps of dark colors on my eyes I actually really liked the way this turned out. Fist I primed my lids with e.l.f.'s Eye Primer. I then used a peachy / coral eye shadow in and a little above my creases and then used an NYX pencil liner in black to line my top lashline. and then applied M.A.C.'s Club to the lid. This is a really unique color, when first applied it's a dark reddish brown with a little black and then it has a duochrome effect where it turns a little teal and blue shimmer. It's really beautiful. I tried to get a good photo of the amazing color effects. I definitely recommend this eye shadow because it's so pretty! I made sure to concentrate this over where I put the black liner because it makes the teal shimmer really pop having a dark colored base like the liner. As it moved up my eye to just below my crease I gently blended just a touch.





Step 3 I took the peachy eye shadow I used on my lids and put in beneath my bottom lashline and then went over it with the Club eye shadow. I made the Club end slightly higher than the other pigment so you could see both of the colors beneath my eye. After that, I lined my upper and lower water lines with my NYX pencil liner in black and popped on a couple coats of mascara.

Step 4 To finish this look off I used a thin layer of M.A.C. Myth lipstick, it's a really muted pale nude so I needed to go over it with something that had a little more pigment. In this case that was Revlon's In The Buff. Because my lips were a little chapped I put a gloss over them (this hides my cracks in my lips pretty well) I used Clinique Bamboo Pink, this too is a muted nude but it has a hint of pink and some sparkle. All together it created a really lovely lip look.

 This was a look inspired by Mila Kunis' makeup at the MTV Movie Awards. While I was getting my daily fix at makeupalley.com someone posted a picture of her there and said someone should do a dupe of it. That someone ended up being me and and fellow beauty blogger (you can find her dupe here). I had the idea that a few people should try out this cool because I thought it would be interesting seeing how different people interpret one same look. Take a look at hers to see the different ways we did everything! This was a really fun look to do with the deep, sultry colors. I hope you liked it! I hope that I'll be doing more of the friend dupes in the future!

Here's the photo I attempted duping!
