Almay Bold Nudes Review + Eyeshadow Look~!

Hey Guys~!

So at the drugstore recently this product caught my eye. It's this eyeshadow trio from Almay and I've never tried eyeshadow from them before, so I'm excited to review this for you guys.

The packaging is typical for an eyeshadow trio. It also comes with a sponge applicator. The one problem I have with this is just I wish it had a mirror somewhere on it. These colors are the natural kind of colors I'd take with me on a vacation or something, so I hate that I'd either have to bring a compact with me or another product with a mirror in it.

This is the hazel eye set, but there are kits for other eye colors too. The colors in this are a coppery peach, a navy blue, and a shimmery champagne. All three shadows are soft to the touch and don't feel powdery or chalky. The pigmentation is okay, I just wish the navy was more pigmented.


Okay now here's the eye look I created with this palette. It's really easy to make.
First I applied my ELF eyelid primer.















 



Then I applied the copper colored eyeshadow all over my lid with a flat eyeshadow brush. 










Next I highlighted my brow bone and inner eye corner using the champagne color and a smaller eyeshadow brush. 














 
With a blending brush and the navy eyeshadow, I concentrated the color on the outer corner and blended it into the crease.











I dipped my angled brush in water and then lined my upper lash line with the navy eyeshadow. Also I lined my outer lower lash line too with the same navy color. Then I applied the Rimmel Scandaleyes liner in Nude to my water line. Lastly I curled my lashes and applied mascara.

 

I really like this eyeshadow look and I think it can be great for everyday or special occasions.

I think this is a pretty good drugstore eyeshadow palette. I do want to try more Almay eyeshadow now, and hopefully the rest are as good as this one. See you guys at my next post.

Face of the Day: First Day of School~!

Hey Guys~!

School started for me this week ;_; and I wanted to show you the makeup look I wore today. I will also be posting an Outfit of the Day for my first day of school too, but that'll be a separate post.

I wanted my skin to look clean and flawless, so I used my favorite high coverage foundation, Revlon Color Stay. I used the Normal/Oily formula since it's still hot where I live, making my skin still oily. I applied it and blended it out using my hands to help my product look more natural. Then I used my ALMAY Wake Up concealer under my eyes. The color is lighter than my skin tone, therefore brightening up the face. Then I applied my powder, Rimmel Stay Matte all over my face using the ELF Complexion Brush. I just wanted to add a little color to my face, so I used my Dandelion Benefit Boxed Powder. It's a light pink blush, and looks natural on my fair skin tone. 

First I primer my eye lids using an eyelid primer from ELF in the color Sheer. Then using my Milani Brow Fix Kit, I just filled in the sparse parts of my brows.  For my eyeshadow look, I used colors from the Urban Decay Naked Palette. I applied the color 'Sin' onto my lid using the ELF Eyeshadow Brush,  Next I applied 'Naked' into my crease using the ELF Blending Eye Brush. With the same brush, I applied 'Buck' into my outer eye corner and blended it in. Then taking an angled liner brush, I applied 'Naked' on my outer lower lash line. Using Rimmel Scandaleyes in Nude, I lined my water line. With my pinky finger, I applied the color 'Virgin' to my inner corners and my brow bone. Lastly I curler my lashes and applied Revlon Lash Potion to them. 

For my lips, I just applied my Nivea Kiss of Cherry Lip Balm to my lips. The color is a sheer cherry red and it can me build-able. 

So yeah that was my makeup look for school. Comment if you guys want an outfit of the day post for my first day. See you guys at my next post xo
