Here we are, naked face! All I am wearing is moisturizer, 8 Hour Cream on my lips and Too Faced Shadow Insurance on my lids.
For my foundation I used my Max Factor 3-in-1 foundation, a mixture of Light Ivory and Nude and applied with a damp BeautyBlender sponge. For concealer I used my Catrice Camouflage Cream in 010 Ivory.
I did my eyebrows using a Catrice brow pencil, it's so old the name has rubbed off, so I have no clue what the colour is called. I set my brows using the Catrice Eyebrow Filler Perfecting and Shaping Gel. It's got more colour to it than the Hema one I always used and it does seem to hold my brows better in shape.
Emeral is a colour that comes back every single fall season, so I decided to have a play with it. I first used this colour from my Boozy Cosmetics p117 palette.
I applied this bright green shadow all over my lid, but decided it was a little too bright/light and topped it off with a darker colour!
I darkened the lid and lower lashline with the deep, moss green from the Sleek Storm Palette to achieve the look I was going for. The layering of the two colours really gives the colour a lot more depth. ( And yes, I am wearing headphones! Needed to listen to music while doing this! For those interested, I was listening to the soundtrack from Lord of the Rings.)
The next step I took was highlighting the inner corners of my eyes and for this I used a shimmery, mint green eyeshadow from my Boozy Cosmetics palette on a pencil brush. Next I took a tapered crease brush (MAC 217) and dipped it into the stormy, dark blue colour from the Sleek Storm Palette and placed this in the outer corner of my eye, through the crease and along the outer 3rd of my lower lashline. What the blue does is actually just accentuate the green even more and just adds a bit more dimension to the look. It almost makes it look greener. I blended it into the green and left the outer edges of the colour pretty unblended.
To finish off the eyeshadow I, again, used a shadow from the Storm Palette. I took a very fluffy blending brush and dipped it in the mid-tone brown in the palette, blended it through the crease just to make the edge softer. This look, to me, was not all about the perfect blending and I kinda like the sort of rough edges it has. It's obviously not for everyone, but I enjoy it!
I lined my upper lashline using the Catrice Liquid Liner Waterproof and kept the line very simple. Thinner on the inside, becoming thicker and no flick as it just disappears in my crease anyway, thanks to my hooded eyelids. THANKS GENETICS!

To intensify the look a bit more I lined both my upper and lower waterline with Essence Longlasting Eye Pencil in Black Fever.
On my cheeks I used my Body Shop Honey Bronzer in 02, NYX Peach Powder Blush and MAC Mineralized Skinfinish in Soft & Gentle.
Finished the eyes off completely by curling my eyelashes and applying some generous coats of mascara. Today I used Maybellines One by One Waterproof. My tried and true favourite!
To finish everything off, I went with a sort of deep, coral nude. This is from the Kate Moss Lasting Finish line from Rimmel, in 07. It's a bit deeper than a regular nude and the coral tone of it makes it very autumnal.
The eyes, all finished. Figured I'd add an extra picture of this as the eyes are very much the focus of this look. It's a bit outside my comfort-zone, but that's healthy I think. And after trying this, I'll be breaking out of that zone more often!
What do you think? Let me know in the comments below!
Thank for reading and untill next time!
