Fall Inspired Smokey Eye


Okay, finally I've posted my video onto Youtube, yeee! I originally had edited it and found that it was too long, so to shorten it for Youtube, I had to cut some things and speed up some others...but, all in all, I'm still happy with the turn out.

Towards the end of August up til now, I started transitioning out my summer wardrobe and trying to incorporate some fall pieces/colors into it to match the weather and the season. By having the contrast of the black and the light chiffon color, I wanted to show the main contrast between the change in my seasonal wardrobe, and the green and purple seemed to compliment them (obviously because it was an eyeshadow quad) and it just so happened to reflect the colors I was changing into as fall approaches. I love a smokey eye, and I saw that Make Up Forever came out with a smokey eye palette and I was in love. <3 I love smokey eyes, but only when there's color incorporated into it. So I took my inspiration from fall, and my excitement from this smokey eye palette and decided to do this look.
