One Palette Tutorials! Starting with Sigma Dare!

Okay....this is the start of a series of videos where I only use one eyeshadow palette for the whole look.  Now, of course, this doesn't include eyeliner, mascara, face products and lip products.....just the eyeshadow....but I can only use what is provided in that particular palette.  I won't talk much about the other products used on the rest of my face....but I will post them here just in case anyone is wondering.  I am really excited because this is going to force me to use more of my makeup and start using more colors!  I hope you guys have fun with this too!

This first look I did was using the Sigma Dare Palette.  It is a truly gorgeous palette that may be intimidating....but honestly looks amazing on everyone!

Here is what I came up with!
