Pink Illamasqua Inspired 1920's look

Inspiration:

My Version:

Natural Smokey Eye with Maybelline Eyeshadow Quad in Charcoal Smokes

At the moment, I'm really wanting to buy a Nars eye shadow palette. Such as this one featured on Lollipop26's blog.

In an effort to abstain, for now, I went through my makeup today and tried to create a look that is kind of similar to what I'm looking for in a palette, neutral, everyday but pretty.

Here's what I came up with:

1) Stila Smudge Pot in Kitten all over lids.

2. Frosty Blue "Brow" shade underneath brows. (Basically apply eye shadow quad as directed, minus the darkest shade.)

3. Lid Shade on outer 1/3 of lid, and crease shade..... in the crease!

4. Bobbi Brown's long wear gel eyeliner on upper lids.

Finished eye:

I kept cheeks bare, this picture is mostly to show my henna that I just did last night!

All products purchased by me except the Bobbi Brown eyeliner, that was won as a prize.

So I saw this video the other day:

and totally fell in love with the makeup! So, I had a go at recreating it based off the photo and video.
