Eye Look – NYX and BareMinerals singles

 

I really wanted to share some of the looks I’ve created with the weekly beauty baskets, but so far it’s been a fail… Here’s one I came up with this week that I really liked, though! Products used and how are down below 🙂

After priming my eyes, I used my Wet n Wild single in Brulee all over. Then, I used the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Cashmere all over the lid. I packed a Bare Minerals single in Cultured Pearl over that. Then, I went in with my NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Purple Velvet, drawing in the outer corner and into the crease. I smudged it out with a finger and then blended a Bare Minerals single in Light Brown with it into the crease with a fluffy crease brush (my beloved Sigma E40). I finished by taking my NYX single shadow in Morocco into the outer corner with my Sigma E70. I smudged a Starlooks Kohl Eye Pencil in Obisdian into the upper lash line, used it again on my water line and finished with Benefit They’re Real Mascara.

This picture may not be the greatest, but I promise, it ended up super pretty, and I was very pleasantly surprised! I paired it with MAC blush in Immortal Flower and NYX Butter gloss in Apple Strudel.
