Crisp fall weather ignites cozy knit sweaters, over the knee boots and my personal favorite, smokey eyes. It was love at first sight when I spotted Bobbi Brown Smokey Nudes Palette at a beauty event at Neiman Marcus. Featuring eight mix-and-match shades in soft matte, sparkle and metallic finishes, this is the best palette for smokey eyes. This is a limited edition palette but it’s by far the most timeless beauty product I’ve purchased in a while. I used to heavily rely on tutorials but there comes a time when you get tired of following directions and just want to dive in. And that’s exactly what I did. If you’re overwhelmed by this palette, here’s a good rule of thumb: start with a light all-over shadow and then layer with a medium lid shadow, dark liner and a sparkle eye shadow on top. Finish your look by adding some all-over color with this Shimmer Brick in Sandstone (this also doubles as an eye palette if you desire but I prefer to swipe this on my cheeks).

You are GORGEOUS. That is all. xox
Beautiful palette!
Oh yes, those are perfect shades of smokey for my skin tone! Is that the only brush you used for application? I feel like these palettes might be a tad too shimmery - but I’ve been in a matte rut for a while anyway, so some glitz might not be the worst thing to happen to me 😉

Hey Audrey! No I also used a fluffy large shadow brush (to apply an all over lid color) and small shader brush. My Sephora pro blending brush is my go-to for blending. I love it! I tend to stick to matte shadows too so I can totally relate! xo
Nice! I’m picking up a Mac blending brush after work today. One can never have too many brushes! 🙂
BEAUTIFUL!!!!
