Hi there lovelies! During one of my “improv” sessions, I stumbled across this beauty of combo. I had no idea really of what I wanted the look to be or a direction I wanted to go with it, but hey, it works! If you’re looking for a dramatic eye for a holiday party or even just an evening out, this is one to try! 😉

OMg, Z! This is such a beautiful look! One i can see in my future heavy rotation. I am going to try to recreate something similar with Urban Decay, any dupe suggestions of the top of your head?

Hi Lindsay!
You could use something like Half Baked in place of the MUG pigment, possibly Naked in the crease instead of Soft Brown – the rest of the shades come from the Naked2 palette, so you’re good there. 😉 If you have the Naked Basics palette, Faint is a dupe for MAC’s Espresso! 😀 Hope this helps! Go rock it, girl!

Just gorgeous! Fell in love with Shy Girl.

Ouuu! Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing that!

Ooh, I can’t wait to try this! I was wondering if you’ve tried inglot gel liner? I was debating between that and the illamasqua and would like your opinion!
Zabrena
Hi Elsie!
I was the same way! Torn between the two! I ended up going with Illamasqua’s version because of the free shipping I got with Sephora, whereas Inglot’s shipping was $8, so that was how I made my decision. LOL Unfortunately I can’t compare yet; I still plan to get the Inglot version but probably when I have a bigger purchase next or I can make it in one of their stores again. So, for the future I’ll keep a comparison review in mind for you! 😀
Elsie
Thank you!

Do you think I could use naked pigment instead of afterglow?

I recreated this look the best I could with my drug store makeup (as I’m working up to buying the really good stuff) and it turned out really pretty. I’ll be doing this look on my sister in-law for a wedding she is in next month. I wanted to say also that with a little bit of white added in, this would be great under your football series for the NO Saints. 🙂 Beautiful look. Thanks so much for sharing!
