Neutral Eyes with Orchid Lips

Hello Beauty Lovers!

I have nothing going on tonight and was just feeling a bit crummy, so I started watching some YouTube videos and got inspired to pull out my makeup goodies and play around. Here is what I did:

Face: Prep face with Napoleon "Auto Pilot" primer. I used my Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse foundation in "Natural Beige" Medium 2.5. With my Sigma F80 brush I blended my foundation and buffed it in. Setting spray used was NYX "Dewy Finish".

Eyebrows: I use my NYX Eyebrow kit in "Brunette" to shape and fill in my brows. Afterwards I used Elf "Wet Gloss" to set my brows. 

Eyes: I used my Lorac "Pro Pallete" for my eyes. I started with "mauve" and placed this on my crease blending it slightly right above crease with my Sigma E25 brush. To intensify the crease and give my eye look smokier look, I used the color "sable" from the Pallete. With a flat shader brush I used a combo of "Cream" and "White" for my lid. Using "Gold" I highlited my inner corner. To create my winged liner I used Maybelline "Blackest Black" and a liner brush. I also used the same gel liner to tight line. For mascara I used "They're Real" from Benefit. 

Cheeks: I used Be a Bombshell blush in "beach please". As a highlight for my cheekbones I used "MaryLouManizer" by the Balm. For a slight contour I used Benefit "Hoolah" Bronzer. 

Lips: NYX Matte Lipsticks are AMAZING!! Super soft and pigmented. Used the color "Shocking Pink" MLS02 with a lip brush for precision.
