Hey guys! I hope everyone had a great weekend and was able to stay warm in this freezing weather. Today's makeup how-to is inspired by being warm and cozy. On the eyes, I used lots of warm, matte brown shadows to create a very warm and blown out smoky eye effect. Then, on the face, I kept the skin soft and glowy looking with warm bronze and coral cheeks and naturally nude lips. This look just makes me feel so warm and cozy, yet it is still extremely sexy. My fiancee really loved this look, he said it was very sultry- so this look is male certified! I'm seriously loving every single product I used on my face here and it's all pretty much drugstore products only, which is a huge bonus. I'm planning on having a blog post up about my current foundation routine up sometime this week and I'm super excited to talk about all these products! I used Makeup Geek shadows and some shadows from the Lorac PRO palette to do the eyes and I have to say that I am obsessed with how these very warm browns look on my eyes. It just really brings out the warmth in my eyes and I know it's hard to see in the pics, but in real life my eyes were so bright and warm looking- it was beautiful. This look will be amazing on every eye color and many different skin tones, however if you are super cool toned you may want to use more cooler toned browns to get a similar look. To see how to get this look for yourself, just keep reading!
How To: EYES
-Apply your favorite primer all over your lids and down onto the lower lash line. Then, apply a matte brown cream shadow onto the lids only.
-Apply a matte cream shadow right under your brow to highlight. Then, blend a matte peach shadow into the upper crease to act as your blending/transition shade. This look is very blown out and will require a lot of blending.
-Blend a warm, orange toned light brown into your crease, making sure to blend it up into your previous shade. This look is all matte, so make sure you're not using anything with shimmer in it.
-Apply a deep, warm toned brown and apply it onto the lid.
-Blend a deep, red toned brown into your lower crease to help blend the lid color into the crease colors.
-On a small brush, apply a very dark warm brown into the inner and outer corner of the lid, then bring it into the socket as well. Make sure to blend this color into the lid color and crease- you don't want any harsh lines.
-On the lower lash line apply the light brown shadow from the inner to the outer corner, you also want to bring it up around the tear ducts also. Apply the deep brown shadow right underneath the lashes. You want your lower lash line to meet up and blend into the upper lid.
-Go back and blend everything and touch up any colors that need to be touched up.
-Curl your lashes and apply mascara to your top and bottom lashes, then rim your eyes with black eyeliner.

-Apply your eyebrows like you normally would.
-Take a damp foundation sponge and apply a full coverage foundation onto your face.
-Add concealer under your eyes to brighten and add anywhere else you may need to cover up.
-Set the concealer under your eyes with a lighter colored powder, then set everything else with a powder that matches your foundation.
-Contour your face, using a matte bronzer. I applied bronzer under my cheekbones, the sides of my forehead, under my chin and jaw bone, and down the sides of my nose.
-Apply a matte coral blush onto the apples of your cheeks and blend outwards. Then, take a shimmery light pink-y blush and apply it over top.
