Since Valentine´s day is coming up I´ve decided to do a couple of looks for the occasion. I´ve already done a simple clean look with pink and brown. Today I went darker, but still with a splash of pink. When I saw the new palette from Chanel I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. Hope you´ll enjoy it :)
The palette from Chanel:
1. Start with a black base colour on the lid just up to the crease. I´ve used Mac Blackground.
2. Put a blackish pink (or another blackish colour with shimmer) on top of the black cream base. I used the blackish pink from the palette and applied it with a Mac 239. Such a gorgeous colour!! Do the same underneath the eye as well. Make sure you blend out the edges to avoid harsh lines.
3. Draw a black line along your lashline with a gel eye liner or a pencil eye liner and smudge it out to get a really smokey effect. I´ve used Bobbi Brown Black Ink gel liner and smudged it out with a Sigma E20 brush.
4. Apply false lashes and mascara. I´ve used Ardell wispies, Lancôme L´extreme mascara and YSL Volume effect mascara. Finish of with a highlighter in the inner corner and on the brow bone. I´ve used the lightest shade in the palette. Voila, you´re ready for a hot eye gazing night ;)
On my face I used Mac Studio Sculpt foundation in NC 20, Mac skinfinish natural in light, Guerlain light reflecting concealer, Benefit Powderflage, Guerlain Terracotta 4 seasons bronzer, Mac Pinch O´Peach blush and the perfect pink lipstick Chanel Rouge Allure in super (from the holiday collection 2010) with Pretty Quick lipglass (from the Mac A Tartan Tale) on top to make it more peachy. On my nails I´m wearing Christian Dior Gris Montaigne Nail Enamel which I LOVE!!
The lipstick was a limited edition, but the Dior #658 from this spring/summer collection is very similar and even more peachy than the Chanel Super:

I also got a package from the beloved Asos which contained, amongst other pretty things, a fabulous jumpsuit I´ve been waiting for for ages and an amazing blazer which I of course jumped straight into ;) I´m also wearing Jimmy Choo shoes for H&M and a YSL jour de belle clutch.
