Hot Bombshell Inspired Makeup

Hello everyone!
So I was bored on a school night so I decided the best thing to do was make a new video for you tube! Yay!!! So this look is actually pretty simple the way I did it. I really don't like the lip look all that much just because how it turned out in the last couple pictures though! I usually wear a light pink but the nude look made me look completely dead! So I'll have to work with it some more and next time adjust it more to my likings. Anyway back to the look! I thought it would be just a fun look for going out and partying with friends or even in the day if you can pull it off. Actually I did wear the eye look to school but not the nude lips.
So the products I used are:
88 coastal scents matte palette
Kat Von D Beethoven Palette (when using the black shadow lucifer macs carbon would be a great alternative,
medium shadow brush (the mac 239 brush would work great for packing on the black)
crease brush (Estee Lauder was what I used but you can probably use the mac 217 or 224)
highlight brush (I used the 1/2 inch Loew Cornell but the mac 249 or 252 can be used
too)
blending brush (I used my Sonia Kashuk brush but you can use the mac 217, 224, or the new 226 brush)
black eyeliner (I used Maybelline define a line but I have also heard some great reviews on the Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner)
Light Pink blush (I used pink o peach from mac which really wasn't as pink that I like for this look)
eyelash curler
mascara of your preference
false lashes *optional
concealer or lip eraser
lip pencil (I didn't have one on hand but you can always use one if you like for the nude lip I would suggest a color almost close to your skin color either darker or lighter)
nude lipstick (if on hand)
and a gloss of your choice!
