It’s available somewhere behind the oppressive soup of (now) light gray clouds over our bit hill right here in Novato, however at least it isn’t raining! By no indicates am I hanging out on the deck in a pair of booty shorts as well as drinking a margarita or anything, however it appears like Stormageddon 2014 has at least temporarily paused.
Compared to yesterday’s monsoon, the present minor gloom is welcome. I likewise tried to inject a bit a lot more brightness into the vicinity with my makeup, a radiant neutral lid with soft black feline eyeliner as well as a bright red lip.

I started this look with the new NARSissist Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow combination ($79, pertaining to NARS shops as well as the NARS web site January 1, 2015; on counters February 1)…and I apologize in development if I blabber as well as ramble when I talk about it since it drives me wild (I’m likewise believing that the lines on the pans are hypnotic).

Hello, lovah!
The Dual-Intensity Eyeshadows have a charming satiny surface as well as can be used wet or dry.
They swatch hella frosty, I know, however when you buff them into your skin, the frost turns to an attractive cleaned patina (that still doesn’t highlight my fine lines).
I like the formula, which must be fantastic for newbies (or anyone) since it’s gloriously simple to blend.
The combination consists of seven re-promoted shades from the Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow Line — Europa, Himalia, Subra, Andromeda, Lysithea, Giove as well as Sycrox. All beautiful, wearable colors, mainly neutrals, with a sprinkle of eco-friendly as well as blue.
The combination likewise includes a restricted edition brown eyeshadow called Ursa Major, a rich, warm brown about halfway between a matte as well as a satin that blends like buttah, baby. It’s SO good. I might spend my entire day sweeping it back as well as forth in the crease as well as making bit circles in the outer corner…
Make a note to go to the NARS web site starting January 1, 2015, or head to one of the NARS Boutiques, if you’re interested. Or, hold out till it shows up on counters February 1.

I just stuck with NARS for the rest of the look.
On my cheeks, I did a light contour with Laguna Bronzer, then buffed final cut blush onto the apples of my cheeks as well as dusted a little amount of miss liberty Highlighting blush Powder on my upper cheekbones. All three products are from the online Domination Cheek combination in the holiday collection.
For my lips, I lined as well as filled them in with true red NARS velvet Lip Pencil in Nihiwatu, then layered creamy scarlet NARS Audacious Lipstick in Rita on top.
Incidentally, if you like red lip looks that aren’t as well orangey, this Lip Liner/Lipstick combo is amaze-balls.
I likewise added bright strawberry pink NARS Quito Gloss on top for additional freshness.
