This is definitely a look I would sport if I have a nice shimmery grey evening dress or blouse - I'm wearing a vivid magenta top in this photo to bring out the cool undertone in my skin!

Cool/True Summer Palette
Usually people of warmth as comforting, but I also think that soft blue-greys, lavenders and soft greys also carry a level of comfort to them. To me, this palette brings a sense of elegance and ease that is very unique. Not everyone can pull off the blue-muted greys, in fact, I'm not even sure that I can, but regardless, I wanted to play around with these shades and create a look that is smokey, cool and summery. I hope you like it:
For this look, I started with my basic face (concealer, foundation, no bronzer this time or warm blushes). I used Navajo by Bobbi Brown as a base, then used a very heavy hand to create a thick layer of eyeliner - I used MAC's Phone Number for this look. I then took an angled brush by MAC and smudged Bobbi Browns Lavender shadow into the liner and smudged up into the crease. I then took a big, fluffy eyeshadow brush and used lavender in the crease and blended in onto the lid. I used a lighter hand to apply Phone Number to the lower lash liner and finished with black mascara (I used DiorShow). For blush, I used NARS Dolce Vita (a dusty rose) and then used MAC's Gentle mineralize blush as a pop of colour. For my lips, I used Magenta lipliner and filled them in with Pervette lipstick by MAC.

I've noticed that when you wear cool colors the whites in your eyes get REALLY white!
