Teal and Taupe

Hello All,

I was inspired today by  Claire Ashley on YouTube.  I recently discovered her videos and totally fell for this look.  It allows for a bright pop of color, while still remaining predominantly neutral.  For me, this look is completely work appropriate but might not be for some.  I love the color choices and that the look plays a bit with shadow texture- matte vs. shimmer.  I did not have most of the shadows she used, but I made it work with what I had.  The Maybelline Stylish Smokes Quad in Natural Smokes contains almost all the colors needed with the exception of the light bright teal and the transition crease color.  This quad contains a satin taupe dupe, a perfect matte highlight shade, a Mac Tempting dupe and a Mac Smut dupe!  The satin taupe shade is a bit tricky to work with- has lots of fall out so I would recommend applying this before foundation.  It also helps to mist the brush with some sort of setting spray to help the product adhere.
