Immaculate Palette smokey eye

The look

This is the look I'll be talking about this time. I'm going to describe to you how I got it.
It's very simple and it doesn't require the most insane equipment. Which I like about this look.
I'm going to name the colors in the palette as you name coordinates in math. X is horizontal, Y is vertical. Which would make the pink in the upper right corner a (8,3) and the pretty golden one is (6,2). I'm doing it this way because some of the darker colors look very much alike on the picture.

How to

1) Start off with a clean and dry face. Very important.

2) Take your primer and warm it up between your fingers and apply it evenly all over your face.

3) Now, you will not be able to avoid fall outs, so I'm going to apply concealer and foundation after having done my eye make up. So I'm going to apply a teenie tiny amount of concealer as my base on my eyelids.

4) Take the color (4,3), a matte black, and apply it all over the lid. Make sure that it covers evenly.

5) Now take the (6,1), a shimmery purple, and apply on to the black. Mix it so it looks smooth and pretty.

6) Now take the gorgeous golden color, you know which one it is if you own the palette. Apply it in the crease and blend it a little bit upwards and then in to the black. Blend upwards first and not after blending in to the black, because then you won't be dragging the dark color up on the brow bone.

7) Now take the shimmery purple, (6,1), and drag it 3/4 in on your lower lash line. Blend it out a little. You can easily use a sponge tip applicator.

8) Then take the same gorgeous golden color from before and apply lightly on the 1/4 of your upper lid and on the last 1/4 on your lower lash line. Blend it in with the darker colors. No harsh edges, but still being able to see where the colors are supposed to be.

9) Then gently apply you liquid eyeliner on top and the pencil eyeliner in your lower waterline. If desired, you can apply the pencil eyeliner on the upper waterline, but I don't like doing that, so that's why I haven't done it myself.

10) Set the black eyeliner in the waterline with the matte black eyeshadow from the palette, (4,3). It'll make it last longer and intensify the color.

11) Apply mascara and make sure your lashes are separated. If desired wear false lashes.

12) Then wipe away any fall outs, apply concealer, blend in, then foundation, blend in, and make sure your skin is smooth and even. Cover up dark circles and blemishes. Set for two minutes, then apply a little amount of powder to set everything (only face, not eyes!!!). Make sure you don't end up wearing too much powder on top of your foundation. It can make you look cakey and powdery.

13) Take a bright, maybe shimmery or sheen, white or champagne colored eyeshadow, if you don't have a highlighter. The color (2,1) is great for the job. BUT CAREFUL! It is very pigmented, so LIGHTLY apply to the bridge of your nose, top of the cheekbones, cupids bow and browbones.

14) Apply blush lighthanded. The MUA Mosaic Blush in English Rose is shimmery, but has great color. Dip on to blush with a brush two times, tap off excess and apply to apples of the cheeks.

15) If desired, apply bronzer. Remember the temples, the jaw and jawline, hollows of the cheeks and maybe down the neck.

16) Apply lipstick and/or lip gloss, and then your done! ^.^
