Timeless Dramatic Eyes Featuring Paula's Choice The Nude Mattes Palette

Saturday, March 29, 2014




Today I have a classic dark matte look to share featuring my newest palette, the Paula's Choice The Nude Mattes Palette (see my initial review here). The key to this look is to use some sticky tape or Post-It notes to get those clean angles near the wing of the eye.

Take a look!
