[picture heavy post!]

Hello my lovelies! Hope you all had lovely holidays and had a nice break.

I started by filling in the brows with the my new favourite brow product: Anastasia Dip Brow Pomade in Ebony.
I then primed the eye with Eden PP and patting Whipped Cream eyeshadow to the brow bone with a flat brush. 
With a fluffy blending brush, I then applied Cappuccino lightly to the crease followed by Neutral Medium Photo Finish powder above this, blending to the brow bone highlight.
NYX JEP in Black Bean was then applied to the eyelid only, then gently patted with a flat brush to blend.
Using the same flat brush, Chocolight was patted over this and blended upwards into Cappuccino in the crease. 
I alternated between Cappuccino, Neutral Medium powder and Chocolight, taking the blending higher until I was happy:
I then added MAC Copper Sparkle with my finger tip to the middle of the eye using the Anastasia Beverly Hills Beauty Genius.
I went back with the flat brush and added more Chocolight to either side of the pigment patting to blend slightly but not too much.
I then outlined the top liner with an angled brush and Inglot Gel liner creating an extended wing at the outer corner of the eye (not forgetting the inner top eye).
I followed this wing from the bottom outer corner leaving a gap in between. 

UD 24/7 eye pencil in Demolition was used to line the bottom waterline whilst a pointy brush was used to smoke out the bottom lash line winged liner with more Chocolight eyeshadow. You can add Onyx eyeshadow to the crease with a fluffy brush and Whipped Cream eyeshadow to the inner corner too to highlight if desired).
The gap between the top and bottom double winged liner was then filled with another angled liner brush and Anastasia Beauty Genius with MAC Copper Sparkle.
The under eye was concealed and mascara to coat top and bottom lashes.
Finally Eylure Kimberley lashes were applied to finish off the eye makeup:
I created a collage with the main steps so that it's easier to follow too:
For the rest of the face, I used the Motives Color Perfection Quad in Medium and contoured and highlighted following the Dress Your Face contouring guide using the Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit; I used Fawn, Java, Havana for contouring, graduating from light to dark, then Banana and Sand for highlighting.
Motives blush in So Peachy was used on the apples of the cheeks followed by the lip pencil in Naked with Rich Formula lipstick in Natural for the first lip combination:
I then used Motives Rich Formula lipstick in Red Coral:
Finally, I thought I'd up the drama with a dark lip too, using Motives for La La Mineral Lipstick in Naughty:
I realise now that the last couple looks have been with a smokey base; this was unintentional but I clearly seem to be loving smokey eyes at the mo so I hope you don't mind!

Would you wear this makeup look? Which lip colour do you prefer with the eye makeup?
