FOTD: Bronze and Plum Smokey Eye + Orange Lip

ON THE EYES: I used Avon Extra Lasting eyeshadow pencil in Topaz Shimmer as a base from the lash line to the crease, and along the lower lash line. Then I used the darker shade from the True Color shadow duo in Warm Cashmere over the same area. I used the lighter color from the duo on my brow bones and inner corner of the eyes. Next I used color #3 from the True Color quad in Chocolate Sensation and smudged it into the outer corners of the upper and lower lash lines. Then I took the True Color single in Plum Burgundy and blended that into the outer corner and up into the crease. I lined the outer corner of both upper and lower lash lines with Super Shock gel liner, and used kohl liner in Deep Violet on my water line. I finished with a coat of Mega Effects mascara in Black.

ON THE CHEEKS: I used mark. Bronze Pro in Bronze, with just a little Fiji Paradise all over face powder in Tropical Sunrise.

ON THE LIPS: I used Ultra Color lipstick in Tangerine Tango.

Demure is a light peachy nude with a creme finish.

Silky Peach is a shimmery peach shade.

Sheer Nectar is a soft coral with a hint of shimmer.

Enduring Sable is a shimmery orange with fine golden glitter. This one you can kind of feel the glitter on your lips, and it will leave golden glitter behind when you wipe it off.

Frozen Rose is a light sheer shimmery pink, with golden shimmer.

Toasted Rose is a light neutral pink with a creme finish. This pink will look good on anyone.

Rosewine is a peachy pink with a satin finish.

Spiced Apricot is a soft peachy red with a satin finish.

Cashmere is a warm medium nude with a satin finish.

Rich Plum is a chocolate-y brown with a hint of plum, and a satin finish.

Brown Suede is a milk chocolate brown with a satin finish.

Rich Chocolate is a shimmery chocolate brown with fine silver glitter in it. This one you can actually feel the glitter on your lips when you rub them together, and when you wipe it off it will leave silver glitter behind.

Buttered Rum is a warm reddish brown with a satin finish.

Iced Cocoa is a warm chocolate brown with a shimmery finish.

Deluxe Chocolate is a deep chocolate brown with a satin finish. This one looks kind of scary in the tube because it's so dark, but it actually ended up being one of my favorite shades. I think if you like vampy looks this will look amazing for a Fall vamp lip.

Avon Extra Lasting Eyeshadow Pencils

Left to Right: Shimmering Sand, Topaz Shimmer, Violet, Diamond Black

I am LOVING these new shadow pencils! They are long lasting. I can make it through an entire day, roughly 14 hours from the time I put it on until I wash it off, with very little creasing(and I have oily lids) and no fading. All of the colors have a shimmery finish. They take a few minutes to set, which is nice since it gives you time to apply and blend however you want, and once it sets it stays in place. These work really well on their own or as a shadow base to make your shadows more vibrant and long lasting.

FOTD: Soft Smokey Eye + Rosey Cheeks

ON THE FACE: Ideal Flawless foundation in Light Ivory, Ideal Flawless concealer in Light/Medium, Ideal Flawless loose powder in Translucent

ON THE EYES: Using the True Color quad in Mocha Latte, I used the medium taupe shade all over the lid up to the crease. Then I blended the dark brown into the outer corner and up into the crease. I lined my eyes, upper and lower lash lines and water line, with Ultra Luxury eye liner in Dark Brown and smudged the liner with a blend of the taupe and brown shadows. I finished with a couple coats of Super Shock Max mascara.

ON THE CHEEKS: I lightly contoured with mark. Bronze Pro in Bronze, and used Ideal Luminous blush in Soft Plum on the cheeks.

ON THE LIPS: I started with a light layer of Totally Kissable lipstick in Loving Lilac, then patted the Ideal Luminous blush in Soft Plum over top of it. The a patted a little of the lightest shadow from the Mocha Latte quad onto the center of my lower lip.
