Golden Christmas Look

This is another look I came up with for this Christmas season. I hope you all like it.

I used some drugstore products I recently found at walmart and I am sure if you look a lot closer than I did, you can find alternatives to all of the high end brands I used.

And finished the look with a very defined liner and dramatic lashes.

I don't know why my computer uploaded this photo and the next one sideways!
This is my BH cosmetics 28 Neutral colors palette. I used the colors in the circles.
Urban Decay Primer Potion
Mac's "Rubenesque" Paint Pot
Mac Eyeliner in "Gilded White"
Bare Escentuals eyeshadow in "Gold Gossamer"
Hard Candy Glitteratzi Gel eye glitter gel in "Goldfinger"
Hard Candy Liquid Walk the Line Eyeliner in "Dream Girl"
N.Y.C. Sparkle Eye Dust in "Opal Sparkle"
Stila Illuminating Finishing Powder in "Rose Gold"
Bare Minerals Flawless Definition Mascara

As always, start with an eye primer, apply it all over your lid.

Apply a very tiny amount of Rubenesque paint pot from the crease down.

On top of rubenesque apply Hard Candy's glitter gel. A tiny amount goes a long ways.

On top of the glitter gel apply a very generous amount of Gold Gossamer. I know, a lot of layering!

On your inner cornes (top and bottom) apply your sparkle eye dust, being very generous also.

Now we are going to add dimension to this look. With a blending/crease brush apply a shadow that's a little bit darker than your skin tone (shadow 1 from BH cosmetics palette) all over your crease, going back and forth until it's all well blended and no harsh lines are showing.

On top of the skin toned shadow you just applied on your crease we are going to apply a shadow that's a little bit lighter than your skin tone. I used the shadow number 2 in my BH palette. Blend it really good.

Apply a highlighter on your brow bone. I used Stila's Gold Rose illuminating finishing powder.

Go ahead and line your eyes. Go dramatic.

Apply a gold glittery eyeliner under your lower lashes and line your waterline with any white eyeliner.
And this is the finished look after applying mascara and false lashes. If you are wondering what kind of lashes I use, I only use Model 21 Eyelashes.

I know my face doesn't match my neck very good, that's because I was testing Revlon's Photo Ready foundation and the shade I bought doesn't match my skintone. I will post a review on that soon.
Face: revlon's photo ready foundation, laura mercier secret camouflage undereye concealer, clinique's finishing powder, nars laguna bronzer, nars deep throat blush, stila illuminating finishing powder in gold rose.
Lips: Estee Lauder Pure Color lipstick in Candy
Stila Lip Gloss in Wild Pink.
