Today's look didn't turn out how I pictured it...I wanted to do a "Fall Trend" look with smokey eyes and dark lips (to relate to the favor I have to ask, I'll talk about it at the end). I wanted to use bronze shadows and a really deep lip color, but that didn't end up happening. I don't own any dark lipsticks but I knew my mom did, I explored through her makeup and found MAC's Party Line. It looked like a dark burgundy to me so I thought it would be perfect. Well once I got home and put in on I realized it's not dark at all and pretty much just red! Haha oh well! I used ELF's Brightening Eyeshadow Quad in Drama to create the dark smokey eyes! I really love this quad from ELF, it contains a shimmery black, dark gray, light gray and a matte white...the colors are perfect to create a classic smokey eye. The texture is a little chalky and the pigmentation is okay...but hey, I'm not complaining cause it's only $1!
