Phenomena Palette

As we are starting to shift into the holiday party season, I wanted to focus on how to do the fourth & final Authentic Beauty signature fall look-Phenomena. This is a fun and frisky look that goes great with any party dress. Phenomena is/are (help me out here) also an awesome date night look for anytime of the year.

The focus of the look is the mossy green or sage green lid. This bright, but not neon green flatters any eye color, yet especially brown. We rim the lower lashline with purple liner to enhance the shades of green. Remember to use a light hand on the purple because if you apply both colors too heavily, it will overwhelm and look messy. And as with any other look, we advise to load up on the black mascara to add drama and length to lashes.

With the eyes being the central focus of this look, we keep the cheeks and the lips neutral. Create a flawless canvas by buffing skin with an exfoliating scrub, dabbing on foundation and concealer to even skin tone and sweep a peach blush on your cheeks. Add a swipe of matte nude lipstick to complete this look. I like the nude rosy beige lipstick by Pro Faces. It’s called Nudity, appropriately. There is always the option of adding a clear gloss here as well, however the lip looks good with or without shine. So it’s up to you. Pair your look with a sassy dress or mini, and you’re good to go!
