Look of the Day: Smokey Eyes via the Too Faced “Chocolate Bar” Palette

Yesterday I sat down at my vanity which is in my office, and I gave myself complete freedom to just grab any products I wanted and create a look. I decided to do a copper brown and purple smokey eye with lots of eyeliner and a pale pink lip. This is a great look for both daytime and nighttime, especially if you work in a more casual or creative work environment during the day. I have to say that I felt pretty glamorous wearing this look because I don’t usually go very heavy on the makeup this time of year when the weather is hot.

The lips are Addixt’n Cosmetics in “Lights, Camera, Lips!” I was so impressed by this product that I wear it all the time. It comes in a lip gloss applicator, but it applies like a liquid lipstick because it’s super rich and pigmented. It dries down a bit into a super long-lasting lipstick/lipgloss hybrid.

For the eyes, I used my Too Faced “Chocolate Bar” Palette. It smells delicious and the colors are very pigmented. I used “Cherry Cordial” (a burgundy brown) in the crease of my eyelids only, and blended it out with “Candied Violet,” which is a shimmering cool-toned purple. I applied “Amaretto” to the eyelid, which is a copper brown and goes wonderfully with “Cherry Cordial.” I applied “Amaretto” all along my lower lash-line and blended it out with “Candied Violet.” I added a pop of beige shimmer in the inner corners with “Marzipan.” I completed it by using my Urban Decay “Perversion” Eyeliner on the water-line and Inglot’s AMC Gel Liner in #77 on my upper lash-line, winging it into a cat eye. I finished it off with Dior’s “Iconic Overcurl” Mascara, which is a favorite of mine.

For my face, I used Revlon’s Photoready Foundation, which is a long-time love of mine. I used Tarte’s “Hotel Heiress” Bronzer to contour my cheekbones and my Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette to highlight my face.
