Day 'Event' Look

Have you ever had an event to go to during the day but weren't quite sure how to do your makeup?  You know it should be jazzed up just a bit, but you don't necessarily want to do an all out evening smokey eye either.  So whats the solution?  In my opinion, this is when you go for a subtle smokey eye with a little bit more contouring on the cheeks and a pretty and natural lip shade.  Today I went to a Baptism and I needed something that was church appropriate but also elegant for the reception afterwards - here is what I came up with:

For this look I started with a tinted moisturizer, concealer and a light dusting of translucent powder.  I used Bobbi Brow Tawny as a contour shade, Borjouis Rose essential highlight and MAC Blushbaby blush. I wanted the focus to be on the eyes, but in a soft, muted and subtle smokey way - I used Borjouis rose essential as a base shade - then mixed soba and coquette shadows by MAC and applied this to the lid into the crease.  I used sable by MAC in the crease and outter corners.  I used a charcoal liner - phone number by MAC and then smudged NARS bengali into the upper lash line before applying mascara.  When I need my lipstick to last, i usually blot a powder of some sort on top, so today I used boldly bare liner with fanfare lipstick and blotted with melba blush - all by MAC!!!
