Dinner with Friends Look


Hi, so this is the really simple look I created for dinner with my friends. I only used two mineral eye shadows, and one highlighter from nyx. I recently received In The Garden and Mystic Night eye shadow minerals and I LOVE them! So pretty! In The Garden is just like a dark topaz exploded with diamonds. Mystic Night is a great dupe for the purple shadow liner from the Smashbox Untamed collection. An intense and sparkling violet.

Eyes:
-Prime with Laura Mercier Eye Basics in Buff
-Using a synthetic brush, pack In The Garden (from everydayminerals.com) on your brush and pat all over the lid, below the crease.
-Then using a blender brush blend it out into the crease to create a smokey effect.
-Next, use a pencil brush or crease brush to define the outer corners of the eye with Mystic Night (from everdayminerals.com).
-Use the blender brush again to blend the two colors together until you get the shape you want.
-Finally add a highlight to the inner eyes with a light shimmer like the white color from the NYX Hippie Chic trio. I named it Soy Milk for labeling purposes.

Foundation:
-Prime with MUFE HD Primer in Neutral
-Conceal with half mixture of Sunlight and Peach (from everydaminerals.com)
-Swirl mineral makeup EDM Light Medium all over face with large kabuki

Cheeks:
-Use a fluffy blush brush to tap and blend EDM Walkee Talkee onto cheeks.
-Use a large fan brush to tap on 24.7 Bronzer Palette.

Finish:
-Lightly swirl MUFE HD Microfinish Powder. I love this stuff!
