FOTD: Sleek Sunset

Even though it's snowing here today, I've been playing with the Sleek Sunset palette all week. Admittedly, most of my looks have been a variation of this FOTD but I've been tweaking it all week trying to get it just right. Think I nailed it today!

Originally I was going to do a review on this palette and a FOTD below, as I often do. Somehow, I lost the swatches... I think they may be on my old memory card, which I've misplaced :( The palette has been well loved now and I feel weird photographing it with dips and swipes across the shadows, lol! BUT, if you'd like to see a review, let me know!

I took a million pictures to try and capture the gradient of the gold to the orange to the red, so sorry for that! On my cheeks was e.l.f. Candid Coral blush (new favorite!). For lips I used NYX Indian Pink, which is perfect for this, with Boots High Shine gloss in Whisper over top.

























































































































Excuse the sorry state of my eyebrows at the moment, I've really got to sit down and take care of them! It seems like I pluck them and they don't grow for a week, but then all of a sudden I have insanely long hairs, lol!

Hope you enjoyed, I really love this version of the look as I felt the earlier ones weren't quite what I wanted.

    Not a fan of orange myself, but this is absolutely stunning. I caught a glimpse of this in my feeds and had to pop over. It's just gorgeous.

    That's soooo pretty! Your blending is awesome! I have to dig that palette out now, I haven't used it in an age. The elf blush looks really pretty, too.

    This is really pretty! I've been thinking about doing a neon sunset look, but I don't know if I could pull it off as well as you did!

    This is beautiful! I love the Sunset palette. I like that the orange has coppery and goldy tones to it. I loove the blush true, I'll have to get it with my next ELF order :)
