Neutral Makeup: Go Away Rainy Days
Even though it was a miserable, rainy day, I decided to warm things up with Bobbi Brown’s Bonfire Palette! 
You will need the following…
- Eyes: MAC Soft Ochre Paint Pot (neutral beige base), (medium taupe gray), Bobbi Brown Cafe Cream EyeshadowBobbi Brown Bonfire Eyeshadow (light copper), Bobbi Brown Cognac Eyeshadow (dark chocolate brown), Bobbi Brown Bone Eyeshadow (matte white-beige), Milani Gold Liquif’Eye Eyeliner (gold), MAC Plushlash Mascara (black)
- Face: Kiehl’s Tinted Moisturizer (Medium)
- Cheeks: Make Up For Ever Quickie (6) HD Blush (pink with a little coral)
- Lips: MAC Peachstock Lipstick (peach nude), MAC Double Dare Cremesheen Glass (red-coral)
- Brushes: 226 (fluffy crease brush), 219 (pointed crease brush), 249 (flat, firm brush), 239 (fluffy shadow brush), 188 (small stippling brush)
- Substitutes: N/A
For eyes, start by applying Soft Ochre paint pot as your eyeshadow base all over the eye area with the 249. Using the 239, apply Cafe Cream eyeshadow on the inner third of the eyelid. Next, apply Bonfire eyeshadow on the middle third of the eyelid and lightly blend with the inner corner. Darken the outer third of the lid with Cognac eyeshadow with the 239, gently brushing it into the lower crease. Lightly blend Cognac eyeshadow, with the 239, on the outer corner and lid. Lightly tap and brush Bonfire eyeshadow directly above the crease to soften. To finish the eyeshadow look, sweep Bone eyeshadow as a highlighter on the brow bone. Bring everything together by applying Gold eyeliner on the lower lash line and Bonfire eyeshadow lightly patted below the lower lash line with the 219 brush. Finish by sweeping lashes with Plushlash mascara.
For cheeks, apply Quickie blush to the apples of the cheeks and sweep upwards towards the temple with the 188.
For lips, apply Peachstock lipstick first, and then layer Double Dare cremsheen glass for a complementing lip.

Hi Christine, how are you liking this palette?
I like it! :) It's good for some brightened up neutrals.
I LOVE that necklace! It is really beautiful, and coordinates with the look so nicely :) I love these neutral looks with a little pop of gold liner and some bolder lips... they are great for days when you want a touch of drama without going full out crazy... Double Dare was the only Cremesheen glass I got this time around, I LOVE it!
Thanks, Michelle! It is by the lovely lillyella @ etsy :)
Again.. that lip combo is to die for! You are such an inspiration!
Thanks, Sarah!
I really like this! The gold liner adds a little something extra, very nice. :)
Thank you!
you chose the perfect lipstick for those colors!!! very pretty!!!
Thanks, Luisafer!
I love this look, and the neutral eyes look so pretty with the pink lips. Very nice, Christene. Me like. :)
Thanks, Hilana!
hot hot hot! fantastic
Thank you, Leinti!
Where do the sparkles on the lips comes from? I didn't think that the cremesheens had any. :S
Double Dare has very subtle sparkle :)
Wow, BB's Bonfire palette really looks like the perfect warm nudes palette! Looks beautiful on you, especially with the gold liner!
Thank you, Catherine!
Just lovely...I love the eyeshadow you used! Gold e/s is one of my favs
Thank you, Casey!
Beautiful colors, I love the gold on the bottom lid. That lip color is to die for as well. I'm going to have to try this!
Thanks, Carmella!
did you apply the eyeliner on your waterline too?
A little bit, but not really on purpose :)
I love your necklace! Beautiful makeup as always, too.
Thanks, Jess! :) It's from lillyella @ etsy!
This look is very pretty! Neutrals and bold lips look great on you. Your necklace is stunning, where did you get it?
Thanks, Patty! It's by Lillyella, who recently closed her Etsy shop (temporarily, hopefully!), but you can see her blog here - http://lillyella.blogspot.com/

Thank ya, Chennel!
Christine, This is a great natural look. The peachstock lipstick looks great on you!
Thanks a lot, Abbie :)
Love that look on you!
Yay! Thanks, Carol!
Well just great! Now I really want this one. I had myself almost talked out of it.. but Nooooooo.. You had to show the colors and well.. dang, now I must have it! LOL
LOL! Sorry, JoElla :P
You have such gorgeous lashes! I'm jealous. Love the look - so natural and subtle. Wish I could pull it off too.
Thanks so much!
beautiful..love the lips...I thought peachstock was a nude l/s, with a brown undertone, its looks berryish here, or is double dare creamsheen that pigmented?
Thanks a lot, Kushi! Double Dare changes it up a LOT!
That milani looks good! Is it closer to UD's Honey or El Dorado? I love the overall look :)
More like Honey! :)
I love the lips :). Oh that Milani eyeliner is nice. I love the necklace, where'd you get it?
Thanks, Rosie! The necklace is by Lillyella - http://lillyella.blogspot.com/
