Hi Bellas,
With the Holidays surrounding us, I've been getting quite a few requests to do a Holiday look. I've seen a lot of golds, greens, and reds out there, but I wanted to do something a little different.
I stuck with the red and green theme, but I decided to do a more mature take and used a deep forest green and reddish burgundy instead. I paired them to create a grown up smokey eye. I was actually inspired by some of the makeup I saw on the Atlanta Housewives reunion!
Check out my tutorial! Don't forget to subscribe!
Here's What I Used (All MAC unless otherwise specified):
EYES
-H.I.P crayon in Unmistakeable
-sharkskin shadestick
