I wanted to do something quick using the new In the Groove products for something for lip swatches (which I didn’t end up using, LOL), and this is what I ended up with.

Is it really Thursday? Already? I can’t believe it’s July 1st! I only have about a month left of summer (aka no school) — time flies so fast sometimes.

For lips, apply Indecent lipstick first, and then layer Midnight Cowboy lip junkie for a complementing lip.
I really, really wanted to play around with Clear Sky Blue pigment. What better way than to use it as a base? It’s actually one of the nicer matte pigments to use–some of them can be finicky, but this one’s a champ when used wet.
For eyes, start by applying Smudgeproof as your eyeshadow base all over the eye area with the 249. With the 242, apply Clear Sky Blue pigment onto the lid with water-based mixing medium.

Next, apply Atlantic Blue eyeshadow into the crease with the 226, lightly blending onto the outer lid. Define the crease with Atlantic Blue eyeshadow and the 226. Blend Brule eyeshadow with the crease shade and highlight the brow bone. Bring everything together by applying Deviant liner on the lower lash line., and then smudging Atlantic Blue eyeshadow on the lower lash line. Finish by sweeping lashes with Plushlash mascara.
For cheeks, apply Sugarbomb blush on the apples of the cheeks and sweep upwards towards the temple with the 116.
For lips, apply Chintz lipstick first, and then layer Petite Peche glossimer for a complementing lip.
Okay, so I’m pretty the Urban Decay Naked Palette was designed with neutral looks in mind, not so much the ultra smoky look I did yesterday. So this neutral look follows that smokier look up as a quick, work-safe alternative made easy by that palette.
For eyes, start by applying Smudgeproof as your eyeshadow base all over the eye area with the 249. Using the 239, apply Naked eyeshadow into the crease with the 226 and feather above the natural crease until it fades. Next, apply Virgin eyeshadow all over the lower lid with the 239. Define the crease with Darkhorse eyeshadow using the 219, and then lightly blend Naked eyeshadow softly over it with the 226. Blend Grain eyeshadow with the crease shade and highlight the brow bone. Bring everything together by applying Whiskey liner on the lower lash line. Finish by sweeping lashes with Plushlash mascara.
For cheeks, apply Plum Attraction blush on the apples of the cheeks and sweep upwards towards the temple with the 116.
