FOTD: New Year Countdown

Normally, I'd wear loud colors to welcome the incoming year energetically, boldly, and happily, but 2015 has been really crazy so I decided to approach 2016 on a gentler note...gentle, but still with power and a hint of craziness boiling within me. I am portraying what I want to be in 2016 in my New Year countdown makeup look now: simple, classy, soft, yet there's boldness projecting through.

Products used:

1. BYS Matte eyeshadow palette

2. Smashbox 24-Hr. Photofinish Shadow Primer

3. Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Liner (Black Ink)

4. Inglot AMC Brow Gel Liner (15)

5. Pixi Endless Silky Eye Liner (Bronze Beam)

6. Etude House Curl Mascara (Black)

7. L'Oreal True Match Crayon Concealer (Light/Medium N4-5)

Step 1: Apply a matte cream shadow on your lower lid all the way to the crease area.

Step 2: Grab a matte midtone brown eyeshadow and apply on the above crease and sweep all the way to your crease.

Step 3: Get a matte dark brown/chocolate brown eyeshadow. We're going to create strong definition here so dot the color on your outer crease and slightly blur out the edges for a well- blended look; don't blend beyond the outer crease to maintain the strong definition.
