Say Goodbye With A Smokey Eye

 Go out with a BANG! Leave 2012 in the dust. Say goodbye with a smokey eye. You can get away with glitter and anything else because when it hits midnight it will all be in the past :)

  You can totally pull this look off tonight because anything is accepted it is New Years!

 Lets get started. I moisturized with Simple and primed with Almay Correct and Perfect Primer. I did my Foundation, highlighting, contouring, and brows the same. If I listed that routine every time this post would be like a novel. I primed my eyelid with Two Faced Shadow Insurance. Then I took Stila Shadow Pots in Mist/01 which is a silver shade with a hint of lavender and I applied it with my finger all over the lid making sure that it does not pass my crease. I will be using most of my shadows from The Vice Palette but all these are Dupable. The next shadow I took was Armor which is a medium grey color with light silver sparkles in it and I applied it all over the lid where I placed the Stila shadow and I made sure not to pass the crease. I took Desperation which is a taupe grey and I put this on the inner corner of the eye instead of black because I did not want it so harsh.Then I took Occupy which is grey with teal sparkles and I applied that in the crease and blend up to the brow bone. Then on the outer corner I took Carbon by Mac and blended out to the brow bone. I do wish that I placed more color there because I really wanted the intensity to be great. I suggest taking the black and going over it a few times to increase the intensity. My mascara of choice is Bare Minerals Flawless Definition Volumizing Mascara. I used a Cream Colour Base in Shell by MAC as a highlight for the inner corner and underneath the brow. Now because I want my eyes to be the center of attention I am going to tone down my cheeks and lips and I am using very neutral colors. For my cheeks I am using Dream Bouncy Blush in 05 Fresh Pink and Fit Me Medium Coral by Maybelline. For the lips I used Myth by MAC and I know it is a very nude color so I went over it with MAC Dazzleglass in Baby Sparks. This will completes your New Years look.

Even if you failed in 2012 you will get a second chance in 2013 all you have to do is stand right back up. I know personally 2012 was not my best year but my modo for 2013 is "Keep moving forward." There is reason why your rear-view mirror is small. Forget all your bandages and forget everyone who has called you down. I can relate to all of you who have haters but just realize that they are just making it easier to enjoy your future. I believe in all of you and each and everyone of you are beautiful in your own way. God made you perfect and he sees you perfectly with his eyes. Why should I think any different of you. I pray for favor in 2013 and I pray for blessing and protection over everyone. It is time. Keep moving forward.

Happy New Year
2013

I Love All Of You
