A good friend of mine invited me to join her at the Nordstrom Spring Beauty Trend Show a few weeks ago and I couldn’t resist!
The event itself was like a slumber party on crack. The store was packed with women getting facials and makeovers in tall chairs scattered through the beauty department. While we had booked some appointments, we ended up having our eye makeup done at Bobbi Brown on a whim. I told Deynece Petri, the artist, to simply do as she pleased. She took my natural, neutral eye to a smoky sooty black dramatic eye with only a few simple steps, and a few products!
I have brown eyes, and truly have never thought of them as an asset. Paired with the cool black liner and mascara she used, my brown eyes looked almost like a glowing yellow in comparison. Seriously, this photo simply doesn’t do the contrast any justice!
As it happens, this look was also astonishingly easy to create, to I’ll give you the details right here!
1) Stone Long-Wear Cream Shadow was applied on the lid, and blended upward. $24.
2) Antique Gold Metallic Long-Wear Cream Shadow was dabbed a bit on the browbone. This is a great way to take the look from day to night, with a single effortless step. $24.
3) Caviar Gel Long-Wear Liner was applied heavily on the upper lash line, and on the upper water line.The shade caviar is a warm black/brown, $22. She applied the product with the Bobbi Brown Ultra-Fine Eyeliner Brush, $25.
4) The look was topped off with tons of Extreme Party Mascara in Black, $24.
