Warm, dramatic Eyes (EZ to do!!)


For this look I did put on my Mary Kay Eyeshadow Primer then used my MK CC Cream as a base.
I went ahead and also sprayed my face with my Pixi by Petra Glow Mist
I taped up the corners of my eyes for a more precise look then Did my eyeshadow first.
For my pore primer, I used the NYX Angel Veil.
For foundation, I used my Maybelline FitMe Matte n Poreless Foundaton in 12 
To conceal my brown spots I used Mary Kay Concealer in yellow. I put it on the back of my hand and then used a precise concealer brush to apply and cover.
For my highlighting concealer and under my eyes, I used my Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer in Very Fair/Light.
I used my NYX HD Setting Powder in Banana under my jawline contour and in my under eye area. 
On my chin, I added a little of the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in Transparent because I've been extremely oily there lately. 
I set it all with my NYX Dewey Finish Spray.
(Note: I used a cream bronzer so I applied that before adding any powders.)



Eyes
Base: MK CC Cream      
All shadows are from the Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette            
For the crease and all the way down on the lid I used Salted Caramel. 
On the outer third, kind of like a "short" outer V, I used Triple Fudge on a precise brush (Real Techniques "shading brush"), then in the center of the lid and back into that color, I used Cherry Cordial on a fluffy lid brush. For the Inner third and upper and lower inner corners, I used Marzipan on a precise detail brush. Don't forget to blend this stuff! For the blending shade of the Upper crease to Brow Bone I used White Chocolate and just directly below the brow I used Chocolate Truffle for a little hightlight and Pop.
The bottom lid pretty much has all the same colors from the lid swept underneath and blended out with a fluffy brush.
