Makeup with a New Born - Discovering Natasha Denona Blue- Purple Palette

Should I mention I also have a toddler???  It is hard.  I was under the impression that now I know it all but no... With the new one, everything feels anew.  You should have seen my frustration with sore nipples.  I had breast pump on one hand and nipple pads on the other.  Sleepless nights are back and they hit me hard this time since I can not rest throughout the day.

Anyways, makeup is really motivating especially now.  I know it sounds crazy but otherwise I want to live in my pajamas without even washing my face.

Also, makeup can be quick, super qucick.  I love my Natasha Denona  eye shadow palettes these days.  I am just getting used to them and they are amazing.   I usually focus on two shades and an easy look.  It is easy to get lost with these and turn into a crystal ball.  So focusing on minimum number of shades really help.

Today. I am going for one of my favorite combos; Calypso Blue and Aubergine ; The 4th and 3rd shades in the bottom row from left.  Calypso Blue is a duo crome shade, super impactful and has a thin formulation, which I love.  Aubergine is matte.  It goes great with Calypso Blue nut I did not like it is performance all that much.  The color built up nice but did not blend very good.  It was eaten by the intensity of the Calypso Blue.  You can definitely  detect the color but still I preferred a more smooth application, and better color payoff  given its price tag.  I used a bit of the shade Maroon, the shade over the Aubergine, in the lover lash line. It is metallic, and feels very creamy. Ton of brands do this color.  It is a cult classic metallic purple shade that complements all the eye colors.

By the way,  These eye shadows work great over Concrete Minerals Electric Eye Primer. Brush wise,  I do not have a specific choice.  I grabbed whatever I can find.  The look is very simple.

I hope the video is helpful.  My life is a wreck at the moment but everyone is healthy. I feel grateful.  More looks to come using this palette.
