FOTD | Fresh Peach & Aqua Eye feat. Anastasia Beverly Hills Maya Mia Palette


If you're not following Norvina on Instagram, you're missing out on some serious makeup inspiration!  Norvina a/k/a Claudia Soare, president of Anastasia Beverly Hills and daughter of founder Anastasia Soare, has a feed packed with gorgeous makeup looks and hilarious memes and gifs.  One of my favorite looks she's ever done was this stunning two-toned lid:

I was beyond thrilled to see a tutorial for a similar look featured on one of Get the Look cards included with the Maya Mia Palette, the latest palette collab from ABH with the stunning Maya Janeska (full review coming soon!).  Obviously, this is the look I tried first!
For the eyes, I primed with NARS Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base.  From the Maya Mia Palette, I applied Warm Taupe and Caramel in the crease and darkened the outer V with Sienna.  I applied Fresh Peach on the outer lid and Aqua on the inner lid and blended slightly.  I popped Glisten on the inner corners.  I applied LORAC Front of the Liner Liquid Liner in Black to the upper lash line and lined the bottom lash line and water line with MAC Technakohl Liner in Graphblack.  I primed the lashes with a coat of Maybelline Volum' Express Pumped Up! Colossal Mascara in Glam Black and followed with 2 coats of Younique Moodstruck 3D Fiber Mascara.  I defined the brows using Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade in Blonde and Brow Wiz in Medium Brown.  I finished them off with Benefit Gimme Brow in Medium/Deep.

For the face, I applied NARS Radiant Cream Compact Foundation in Santa Fe with a wet Beauty Blender. I concealed under the eyes with Garnier Anti-Dark-Circle Eye Roller and contoured with MAC Golden Bronzing Powder.  I applied Cover Girl Clean Glow Blusher in Roses to the apples of my cheeks and swept the powder upward toward the temples.

For the lips, I filled them in with MAC Beurre Cremestick Liner and topped it with MAC Blankety Amplified Lipstick.  I went back in with Beurre and defined the corners to give the lips some depth.  I just learned this awesome trick from Kandee Johnson's video "How To Get Tons Of Compliments On Your Lip Color"!
