But not all eyeshadows lead to chalky-land. The Too Faced A Few of My Favourite Things palette, reviewed here, has some matte eyeshadows that I absolutely love and are a dream to apply. Another favourite is theBalm's Meet Matt(e) (here), but I digress from today's eye look.
Here is a matte neutral smoky eye makeup look with the Too Faced A Few of My Favourite Things palette.
I decided to go with subtle medium brown shades for this look, and not to smoke it up much. Chocolate Milk (top third round swatch from left), a matte milky-brown, went all over the lids. I then used Woollen Mittens, a medium matte brown (below Chocolate Milk), in the outer crease alone. I used Cream Coloured Ponies (second row, second from right), a matte ivory shade, as the highlighter. Just the three matte shadows.I had the weird idea of using the black eyeshadow in this palette - Pure Glam - as the eyeliner. This is mostly a matte eyeshadow but there is sparse glitter as you can see from my eyelids and eyelashes.
I applied the Lancome Crayon Kohl in Noir on my lower lashline. I really love how it makes me look. It is 100% smudge-proof and doesn't give me a jet-black-eyeliner look either! There is also a swipe of Benefit Gimme Brow on my eyebrows. I stuck to the Too Faced Shadow Insurance Primer and finished with the Estee Lauder Double Wear Zero Smudge Lengthening Mascara - it gives me neither length nor volume and flakes a bit as well, but I need to finish it up before it expires. You can barely see the mascara there.
