Blue and Black Makeup look with Sobe Botanicals

This didn't turn out quite like I wanted. But I needed to do something different. So even though I'm not as happy with it, I like not doing the same ol' looks all the time. I know it's easy to get into a routine and use the same exact application style. So I like to challenge myself and switch it up a bit.


Eyes (all applied in this order):
Coastal Scents Shadow worx eye primer (applied to upper lid, blending in gently with ring finger)
Sobe stick it! eye primer (applied all around the eyes patting then rubbing in gently with ring finger) 
NYX - White (applied under brow with MAC 217 by patting/sweeping) 
Sobe - Goodnight (applied to outer V, crease and lower lash line with MAC 217 by patting/ sweeping)
Sobe - U Rock! (applied to lid with MAC 239 by patting, then winging out with MAC 266)
Sobe - Snow Globe (applied to inner lower lash line with MAC 228) 
Kryolan Aqua Color liner - black (applied wet with water, using MAC 210 on upper lash line and winging out)  
BH Cosmetics gel liner - Onyx
Avon Super Shock Mascara - black (lower lashes)
Ardell lashes - #113

Eyebrows: Sobe Fill Me In Brow Filler - a mixture of Brunette and Raven (applied with MAC 266)

Lips: Sobe Botanicals - Absolution

Face: Skin MD Shielding lotion
Sobe Powder foundation - Light Warm (applied with a Coastal Scents Bionic flat top brush)
Sobe Tinted Illusionist Powder (applied with a large powder brush) 
Sobe Blush - Enchanted (applied to cheek bones and blending back toward the hair line)
 

Nails/NOTD: NYX Girls - Genesis + Kleancolor - Poppy

Depending on the lighting, this combo can look like a sparkly orange/red, coppery red or shimmery metallic red. Very pretty! Too bad it wasn't easy to photograph.

indirect natural light

direct sunlight

I achieved this look with:
1 coat of Avon's NAIL EXPERTS Smooth Beginnings Base Coat 
2 coats of NYX Girls - Genesis
1 coat of Kleancolor Chunky Holo - 229 Poppy
1 coat of Avon's NAIL EXPERTS UV Gloss Guard Top Coat
