Well, it’s kinda funny because I couldn’t figure out how to do my makeup. Usually I find a shirt I’m gonna wear and then do my makeup based on the outfit. So I started to do my makeup and I came up with this look. It was so bizarre because I found this old shirt that I hadn’t worn in forever. I didn’t take pictures while I was doing the look because I’m a dork butt. I have the list of stuff I used! So enjoy!
Things Used in this Look:
Eyes:
Urban Decay Primer Potion: All over the lid and browbone
Revlon Revlon Cream Shadow in Not Just Nudes: All over the lid
HIP Duo in Gilded: The gold side all over the lid
NYX Eye Shadow in Lime Green: The outer two thirds on the lid
I’ve been on a mineral kick lately. Last summer I purchased the Bare minerals starter kit which came with almost everything I needed to do my face make. I love that kit so much. It introduced me into the wonderful of mineral makeup. Since then I’ve explored Maybelline Mineral Power and its all very nice things. Since that last summer I’ve had my eye on the other bare minerals kit, the eye kit. It has beautiful browns and peaches, and it’s just a lovely kit. Not to mention the brushes that comes along with it. I finally broke down and bought the kit, and it was everything that I hoped it would be. It has beautiful browns and the amazing peaches. It’s love. So since I couldn’t wait to try out the kit, I was home sick and I did my makeup. I ended up creating this smokey brown look that I absolutely love. Things used in this Look: Eyes: Urban Decay Primer Potion: All over lid and brow bone as a primer Vanilla Sugar: All over brown bone as a highlight Peach Puff: All over lid Soft Focus Explorer: Place in the crease about two thirds into eye, darken from a more dramatic look. Fashionista: Used on the outer V, and with a little Fix+ as eyeliner as well. Maybelline Lash Stiletto Mascara Stubborn Eye Khol
I'm finally entering a contest, I usually think about entering them, but then it takes me ages to get around to finally record it, and by then the contest is usually over.

How to accomplish the look
First thing you're going to want to do is prime your eye with your favorite eyeshadow primer, I used UDPP. After that has dried apply HIP Color Rick Cream Crayon in Attentive all over your lid and just a little bit into your crease.
Once you've done that, get a flat shader brush and take a loose matte orange eyeshadow and wet your brush with a mixing medium or FIX+. Then apply that all over your lid all the way up to to a little past your crease below your brow bone
Next take your costal scents palette and use the 88 Matte Palette: 9 column to the right, and 3 colors down and apply that in your crease.
Then take the 88 Matte Palette: 9 column to the right, and 5 colors down and apply it to the outer two thirds of your lid.
Next take any matte black and a crease brush an apply it half way into your crease and in your outer V. Next, the most difficult part. BLEND! BLEND! BLEND! I mean guys, BLEEEEND YOUR LITTLE HEARTS OUT.
Once everything is blended to look good, just take a matte flesh colored brow highlight and place it on your brown bone. After that you're good to line your upper lid and water line, and apply your falsh eyelashes. Then you're all done! A nice pink blush and a goldish nude lip would looke good with this.
I hope you guys like this, and don't forget to wish me luck on the contest! Maybe with some luck, I'll win!
Oh yes, I said I would explain the story to why my fish's name is Francis is dead. I need to preface this with that my father and I have a very interesting and special relationship and I love him very very much.
Now into the story, when i bought my goldfish I initially bought two, and I couldn't think of a name for the two. My dad suggest I name them Patti and Francis. Which are the names of my parents. Well my dad was making fun of me for some reason that I don't remember and I told him that Francis died. But he really hadn't, and my dad was momentairly upset. Once I told him that the fish wasn't dead, it became an ongoing joke that Francis is dead. Which we just decided one day that We would just change his name to Francis Is Dead. Since then, the name has just stuck. Unfortunately Patti DID die, but Francis is dead is still alive an kicking.
