Shimmer in those Eyes -- BH Cosmetics Jenni Rivera Palette


What I used:

EYES
BH Cosmetics Jenni Rivera Palette
NYX Eyeshadow Base in nude
MAC Espresso Eyeshadow 
Sephorea Crease Brush
MAC Fluid Line in BLACKTRACK
NYX Jumbo Pencil in Black Bean
MAC 219 brush
MAC 239 brush
ELF Defining brush
ELF Small Angled brush
LIPS
Wet n Wild in Bare It All
FACE
Loreal BB cream
Bare Minerals Original foundation in Medium Beige
Estee Lauder Blush in Blush All Day





How I applied it:
1. Apply eyeshadow base all over eyes
2.  Using the crease fluffy brush apply the MAC espresso eyeshadow on your crease, it could be above your crease or below as well, just depending on what effect you want to have once you apply the other colors.
3. Next, apply the #1 shadow (shown above) from the Jenni Palette all over the lid using my MAC 239 brush.
4. With the crease brush, buff out the espresso color you applied first with the #1 eyeshadow to blend any rough edges. Blend, blend, blend!
5. Once you get both colors to blend, use a defining brush to apply the #2 shadow from the palette to the center of your lid. Make sure to apply it below the brown shadow that you applied on your crease.
6. Using the MAC 219 apply #1 eyeshadow on the inner side of each lid. This will help brighten up your eyes (I didn't use a highlight under my brows for this look.)
7. Apply liquid liner, I used the MAC Fluid line and applied it with my ELF Small Angled Brush
8. I used NYX Jumbo pencil in black bean for my bottom liner and my waterline.

That's it!

 It actually didn't take my long to do it, it probably took about 5 minutes or less for each eye (including the liner which is what takes me longer!)  REMEMBER THE KEY IS TO BLEND THE COLORS. Blend in circular motions from left to right then right to left. If the colors fade while blending it's ok! just re-apply more color and blend it some more until you get the desired color.

I bought this palette from the BH Cosmetics website ---->  HERE. I paid $24 about six months ago but right now it's $18 (the prices change often depending on the sales the website has.) I also did a post on this palette a few months back. Go check out my August 26 post to read my thoughts on it and to see the swatches.

Thanks for reading!
Good night (:  XOXO
