Film Noir - Classic Matte Smokey Eye & Dark, Vampy Lips featuring the NARS NARSissist eyeshadow palette





Hi makeup junkies! Now I know it's Summer-time and most people are wearing lighter or brighter makeup, but you all know how much I love my smokey eyes and deep lips. So for today's look I really wanted to create a classic smokey eye, using all matte shadows and a dark, vampy lip. I love looks like this, because not only do they look great on everyone, but they also give you a very sexy, yet still classic look. I mainly used the NARS NARSissist palette to create the eye look, which is beautiful neutral palette that I really haven't used that much since I bought it; so I wanted to play around with it a bit. I kept to a mainly cool toned color palette for the eyes, to create a soft but still striking smokey look. I also wanted to have big lashes, so I doubled up some "demi whispies" false lashes to create a wide-eyed fluttery effect. I really love how the falsies made my eyes look and I feel like it really complimented the makeup look. Since the eyes and lips are the main focus, I kept the rest of the skin very flawless but still rather natural looking. This makeup look will work with any skin and eye color and is perfect for a night out, date night, or any other special event you have going on. The other great thing about this look, is that you can pair it with virtually any lip color and it will look good. So if dark lips aren't your thing, choose a color that better suits you. I just can't pass up a chance to wear my "Film Noir" lipstick from MAC, which is a super deep brown/burgundy. I really love how this look came together and I am totally obsessed with layering my falsies from now on (it just gives you such a gorgeous, thick look to your lashes). I really hope ya'll like this look and find it helpful. I may not have another makeup look posted for a few days, because I had to get surgery on my mouth and my whole face is swollen and in pain. So I can't wear any makeup or even smile right now, let alone be able to actually apply makeup to my face. I do, however, have a few unboxings and a couple reviews to get up so you won't be missing me too much lol. So anyways, if you want to see how to get this look for yourself, just keep reading and I'll talk to you later.
