Heavy Browns with Nars Galapagos and Mekong

Here's my first try at a smokey eye using my recent purchase, Galapagos. Definitely too dark and heavy for the daytime, but perfect for a night out!



Sorry I look a bit tired, this was taken when I got home!

  3. Great EOTD, looks so lovely on you and not as dark as it looks initially.

    New follower here, just thought I'd pop and say Hi :) Loving your blog, and been looking at some of your past posts and looks like we have the same tastes in a lot of products, especially lipsticks.

  10. Thank you so much everyone, I really appreciate the sweet comments.

    @discovering beauty: I'm planning a tutorial for it soon! For the time being here's how I did it: first i applied mac painterly as my e/s base, then stila smudgepot in bronze all over the lid with my finger. then i took nars galapagos on a mac 239 and patted it on, concentrating the color to the center of the lid. then i used a mac 219 with nars mekong to define the outer-v and crease, and blended that out with a mac 217. next i took a fluffy blending brush with mac soba and blended the crease with the windshield wiper motion. Then i applied mac femme-fi to the browbone, liner, and 2 coats of covergirl lashblast!
