Today's look is featuring a couple more pigments I have picked up from Makeup Geek, mainly "Insomnia" a gorgeous warm brown with a teal duo chrome. I've heard that this pigment is a dupe for MAC's blue brown pigment, which I don't own, but from swatches I've seen they are quite similar and for $6.99 I will most certainly choose the Makeup Geek one. First off this pigment applied beautifully without needing to be used wet or anything.
I knew I wanted this pigment to be the star of the look and keep the rest of the eyes simple using complementary colors. So I applied "Insomnia" all over the eyelid and lower lash line and then used a warm light brown in the crease to blend the color out and make the transition to the brow highlight easier. I then blended a matte, red-brown shadow into the crease. The eyeshadow matched the warm undertone of the pigment perfectly and allowed for the crease to look even more blended out and soft. I used a matte cream shadow to highlight and lift the brow bone. I then applied a super dark, warm based brown into the socket line and outer corner of eye creating a very soft cut crease look. I then lined the lid with a black gel liner, flicking it up at the outer corners and then used a small smudge brush to blend and soften out that line. I also lined the waterlines with a black eye pencil, just because my eyes are pretty big and the black allows them to look a bit smaller and more defined, but I feel like this look would look awesome with a warm brown pencil as well. To complete the look I added a shimmery nude pigment to the inner corner and applied lots of mascara to the top and bottom lashes.

I wanted to keep the eyes the main focus of the look so I kept the rest of the face very natural and pretty. I used a light illuminating foundation with a Beauty Blender sponge to make it even more luminous and light. I also used a brightening concealer to highlight under the eyes and set all of it with a little bit of powder.
I then used a matte bronzer to sculpt the face and a warm caramel/orange colored blush. I topped off the look with a champagne colored highlighting powder on the tops of the cheekbones, cupids bow, and down the bridge of my nose. I set the whole look with a hydrating, mineral water spray.
I have seriously fallen in love with all the Makeup Geek pigments and am super interested in trying out more of their makeup collection. I love that this look is neutral with the warm browns, but totally fun with the teal duo-chrome in the lid color. I have always loved these type of colors, which is probably why at last count I have 6 different eye shadows that are the warm brown/teal color, but I have to say because of how well this pigment applies this is my favorite. I still have a couple more of these pigments left to try out and work with before I do a review, but so far so good.
Have an awesome weekend!
