Cranberry & Gold Holiday Look!

I sat down and played with some neglected make up today.....and this is what I came up with.  It may be a little dramatic for some...I know....but that is why make up is so fun!

I hope you guys enjoy!

Check out my YouTube channel if you would like to know how I did this!

Here are the products I used:

Inglot eye shadows:
355 (matte skin color)
55 (burgundy with gold flecks)
403 (intense gold on the center of lid)

NYX Slide On pencil in Jet Black 07

On my face: my new ELF foundation, Laura Geller Balance -n- Brighten in Regular, slightly contoured with MAC Harmony and highlighted with NYX 01 Highlighter.

P.S.  I think the ELF foundation attempted to break my skin out....so BEWARE!!!

See you soon!!!
