Dramatic Fall Makeup Look!

This is one of my favorite looks for fall this year. I love combining a smokey eye, dark lips, and dramatic contour. Watch the tutorial on my channel or follow the steps below the video to achieve this look!

First I applied L'Oreal Magic Perfecting Base primer, then the lightest shade of concealer from Sonia Kashuk's Hidden Agenda Palette under my eyes and all over my lids.

I like to do my eyes first to avoid getting any fallout on my foundation that I would have to wipe away.

-- Using the color Sidecar from my Urban Decay Naked Palette, I use my Real Techniques Eye Shadow Brush to pack the color on my lids. Then, using a deep plum color from my BH cosmetics palette I apply this color starting from the center of my lid working outward and slightly up into my crease.



-- Using Buck from my Urban Decay Naked Pallette, I take my Real Techniques crease brush to apply this color into my crease. Next I use a pencil brush from Sonia Kashuk to apply a matte black color from my BH Cosmetics palette on my outer v and into my crease. Once this is finished I blend everything together.

-- I line my eyes with L'Oreal Infallible Lacquer Liner in Blackest Black using an eyeliner brush, then finish off my eyes (for now) by highlighting my brow bone and the inner corner with Too Faced Candelight Highlighter Duo.

-- For my foundation I pump L'Oreal True Match Lumi in W4 Neutral Beige onto the back of my hand and apply all over my face using my Real Techniques Expert Face Brush. I make sure to blend down into my neck to avoid the "mask" look.

-- I go back to my Sonia Kashuk Hidden Agenda palette and apply the lightest color under my eyes and the green-tinted color to any blemishes/redness.

-- I also line my waterline using a black pencil and use some excess shadow that was left on my Sonia Kashuk pencil brush to line my under eye area. Once I am finished with my powder, I apply mascara to my lower lashes.

-- To set my foundation and concealer I use my Real Techniques Powder Brush to press or pat NARS Pressed Powder in FIJI all over my face. I try not to rub the product onto my skin to avoid shifting my foundation/concealer.

-- For my contour I use Benefit's Hoola Bronzer and Real Techniques' Setting Brush. I start as close to my hairline as I can barely above my ear. I start out with a small amount of product and add more depending on how intense I want my contour to be. I also apply this to my forehead (right by my hairline), my temples, and my nose. To contour my nose I use an eyeshadow brush to "draw" a line down the sides of my nose.

-- I apply my blush using a Real Techniques Blush Brush. The blush I use is by Milani in Rose D'Oro. I apply this right above my contour then blend everything out using a powder brush.

-- Before I apply my lipstick, I line my lips using Prestige Waterproof Lip Liner in Plum, then fill in my lips using Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in the color Plumalicious.

-- To finish off my look I fill in my brows using Milani's EasyBrow Pencil in Taupe.
