The Barenaked Series

I know this intro blog post is more than LATE, but I just wanted to talk more about why I came up with this particular series.

I've had a lot of eyeshadow palettes from DollFace Cosmetics, three of which are my absolute favorites:

But let's focus on the latest one which is the Barenaked Palette. It's amazing simply because:

1. It has a variety of eyeshadow types such as: satin, matte, shimmery, and even iridescent ones!
2. It contains warm colors. Who doesn't love warm tones, right? It's not too light, nor too dark.
3. The colors complement each other. You will never run out of mix and match ideas with this one.
4. You get two palettes in one case.
5. It's reasonably priced and available locally!

Bearing these things in mind, I thought it would be great to dedicate a series of tutorials that would showcase a variety of looks that can be done using the palette. It will definitely tickle my creativity!

What better way to find inspiration than to refer to some of my personal make-up icons! I guess icons would be too flashy of a word to use, but these Barenaked Ladies always look fabulous and I especially love the kind of make-up they wear.

If you don't know by now, I've already posted my first installment for the series and i featured none other than Kim Kardashian. We always see her with a smokey look, so when I found a picture of her online with very bare, neautral, almost nude make-up; I just had to do a tutorial on it.

Here is my take on the look:
