Since the weather was so dreary the morning the Tropical Storm landed in New York City, I decided to enhance the seriousness of my outfit with a serious beauty look.
The combination of MAC's Kirsch and Jampacked was a dark yet wearable look. I really enjoyed the plum color of Kirsch, but I faced a challenge in getting the color to distribute evenly which is why I paired it with Jampacked. Jampacked on it's own is a plummy-cherry color but it certainly doesn't pack the punch of Kirsch. They make a lovely pair. Both colors launched with the Cult of Cherry collection.
I love the eyeshadow quad in the NARS Bridal Palette. Each compliments the other in perfect harmony that is a pretty self explanatory tutorial on the smokey eye. I used the top two colors, Nepal and Ondine, to create a daytime smokey look which simply defined the eye area and added an air of mystery. For night I used Night Fever to amp up the purple in the crease and along my lash line. I couldn't have asked for a better selection of shadows.
For me, the NARS Bridal Palette fully delivers everything I need combined under one lid. The highlighting powder in Albatross helps with the mid-day touch up or the after evening date. The lip quad makes it easy to change lip colors and textures without straying too far from the color spectrum within in the palette. I for one cannot wear one lip color all day long - I have lip color add.
I really enjoyed this look and have worn it several times since then.
