Dramatic Eye and nude lip look - this look transitions perfectly from day to night! Light contouring, defined brows, false lashes and a nude pink lip keep it flirty. A partial smoky eye adds drama but the lighter shades keep it daytime appropriate.

Primer: Smashbox Photo Finish Pore Minimizing Foundation Primer (Travel size)

Foundation: L’Oreal Paris Cosmetics Infallible Pro-Glow Foundation (color 202 creamy natural)

Concealer: Maybelline New York Fit Me! Concealer (fair) – This super inexpensive product made my cut for top 10 beauty products of 2016 along with the powder listed below!

Eyeshadow Palette: Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons Palette (colors used: Divinity under browbone and inner corners; Mocha in crease; Earl Grey in outer corners). Read HERE for my full review on this palette!

Eyeliner: JORDANA FABULINER LIQUID EYELINER

Eyelashes: Ardell Invisi Brand Eye Lash DEMI Wispies Black Eye Lashes

Mascara: Rimmel Scandaleyes Retroglam Mascara

Highlighter: NYX Strobe of Genius Illuminating Palette

Lipstick: Clinique Colour Surge Butter Shine Lipstick




Tips for this look: I applied my foundation with a foundation brush and added a little more to certain areas that needed extra coverage. For the brow look, I used the pencil mentioned above and defined the top and bottom of the brow (like an outline). Then I used an angled brush to fill in the brow with the cream formula used in the palette mentioned above.

When I applied the eye shadow, I used the lighter color all over the lid up to the browbone and inner corner. I used the medium shade for the crease. When applying the darker shade, I only used it on the outer corners and blended it into the crease. I used a tiny bit also under my lower lashes on the outer corner. No eyeliner was applied to my lower lashes, only the uppers.

Lips were easy – I didn’t line them or use layers! This lipstick is like a gloss and lipstick in one – all set!

    Jill, this is a beautiful makeup look! I think this would be perfect for me to wear out or a date like you said. I also love the FitMe Concealer! I have been looking for a loose powder, maybe I will try this! I hope you post more looks, this is fun.

      I’m so glad you like it! That powder is my holy grail! It sets beautifully and doesn’t dry out my already dry skin! It has sort of a baby powder smell though, but I am used to it, haha. Love the stuff. And it’s insanely affordable and last forever. I will definitely be doing more looks, glad you liked it!

      Thank you so much! Ah yes, the lashes! To be honest, I don’t wear them often, but I love the look of them! They are tricky little things – it does take some getting used to! Maybe I’ll do a tutorial – you’ve inspired me 🙂

      Thank you so much! I will likely do a smokey eye tutorial soon! It’s so fun. I love a super dramatic eye, but this is a nice toned-down version that you can wear for day!

    Pretty! I’ve been making an effort to wear a little more make-up here lately, and I think I could handle this look. It doesn’t actually take that much time to go beyond mascara and liner, but it can make a big difference!

      Hi Jordan! Some days I barely wear any, and other days I go all out, but you’re right – makes a huge difference! Thanks so much for stopping by!
