Instant Smokes

I have fallen in love. I'm sure this is not the first time I've uttered a statement like that here at The Unanimous Molly. This time though, I mean it. (I meant it last time too I swear...) I have come up with the recipie for the worlds easiest five minute, five product smokey eye! The best part? This is the perfect day to night eye look!

1. Highlight inner corner and browbone(if you want) with a shimmery flesh toned cream shadow or liner. (I used Urban Decay's 24Hr Shadow Pencil in Sin.

 

2. Apply a warm brown cream shadow to your lid and blend up into the crease. (I used MAC's Quite Natural Paint Pot. I am OBSESSED with this, more on that later...)

 

3. Smudge a bit of black liner right up against your lashes all along the upper lash line and about halfway along the waterline. (Stila's Smudgestick in Stingray here.)

 

4. Blend out your liner with a matte deep brown eyeshadow. (Joe Fresh in Espresso)

 

5. Lots of Mascara! (Jordana Best Lash Extreme in Black)

 

The star of the show here is really the Paint Pot in Quite Natural. I think it is the neccesary component to this look. It makes this the express route to sultry, smokey, five minute heaven. If you don't already have this (or something like it) in your makeup rotation you need to. It can even be used in place of a liner for super easy makeup days...

Glitter the Great and Powerful

L-R Which is Which?|Lights of Emerald City|When Monkeys Fly?

 

I will not lie, the moment I hear OPI's 2013 Soft Shades collection was a collaboration with Disney's new movie OZ the Great and Powerful ,well,  you could smell the skepticism eminating from my pores. I sit here at my computer anxious to eat my words. I saw photos of the glitter shades first and while the whole collection is pretty stellar, these shades really do steal the show.

 

"When Monkeys Fly!" -The only real dissapointment of the three is this chunky gold and halographic combo. Taco city baby. They look beautiful in the bottle but the application is a total bitch. The large gold hex glitters are so curly it takes eons of top coat to make your nails smooth. While the formula may leave a lot to be desired the mix is so pretty on that I am more than prepared to fight the battle.

 

"Lights of Emerald City"- This square, matte white, and iridescent mix is glitter topcoat success. With nail polish knock off's being big drugstore business lately I love that this OPI shade is something new and easily accesible. You can clearly see the indie polish influence here, but it is still a 100% unique shade. (to my knowledge.) While application does require a little finesse, this one is nowhere near as bad as When Monkeys Fly! I find a small dot placed in the middle of the nail and slowly spread works best and gives nice even glitter coverage.

 

"Which is Which?"- This is the least unique and best performing of the three shades. It is a halographic glitterbomb, with hex and bar glitter speckled with fine halographic glitter dust. Over a silver base this is discoball inspired perfection. I even layerd this over a nice pale nude a loved the combo. If you were determined you could probably later this to full opacity but it would take a good 4+ coats.  

 

I am so in love. If you want to see these shades in action you can follow me on Instagram @blkmagicwoman21 or stay tuned for my weekly nail posts. Like these...
