CHOCOLATE BON BONS PALETTE!

I will put swatches of each color so you can find similar colors you own if you don't have one or either of these palettes.

First you want to do all your prepping. You don't want to just wake up and start putting your makeup on because that's going to breed bacteria in your makeup and on your brushes and sponges. Your makeup also lasts longer and looks better if you use a clean and moisturized but oil free "canvas." So wash your face and moisturize or whatever your skin care regimen is. I use the proactive system usually but lately I've had to use st ives exfoliating scrub and proactives advanced oil control lotion to help control my oil output since that all but wipes out my makeup by mid day. Also don't do your face makeup until after your eyes are done because every eyeshadow has some fall out and even If you can't see it it makes a dark shadow under and on the side of your eyes. We will clean up and I can and will prove this to you later on.
Also, unless otherwise specified use your crease brush in a back and forth windshield wiping motion just at the top of and above your natural crease. This widens your eyes, especially if you have hooded eyes. If you for some reason want your eyes to look smaller just keep it in your natural crease. THEN when you're in your outer third and outer V you will use your crease brush or fluffy blending brush or whatever brush you prefer and apply eyeshadow in small, fluffy, circular motions. Next, when you're applying to your lid (the inner two thirds of your eye lid), your inner v and your inner eye area next to your nose you will use a soft patting motion. In your arch, waterline, anywhere you put eyeliner, you will use a drawing motion. You will literally be drawing straight lines. You can use that same liner brush or thin shadow brush to blend the arch back and forth after that. In your under eyebrow area under your brow but right at the top of your crease color you will use a large fluffy brush and a soft and wide swiping outward motion. You will also always tap off excess shadow with each dip into your makeup because the idea is to slowly build and blend colors not accidentally add too much and try to figure out a way to fix it. It just looks nicer this way. Don't forget unless otherwise specified you always blend your shadows after application. If your asked to blend from the outer v into the crease you will start with small circular motions then move into windshield wiper motion. You always blend in the manner you applied.

Next add concealer on your lids to right under your brows. Then add a colorless eye or face primer to your brows and do your brows as usual and then set them with a setting powder and line all around the edges of the brow, but only on your skin with concealer and blend in carefully. All of these things help keep brows in place all day. Then add eye primer to your lids.

Step 1) From the Spectrum Palette I grabbed Daybreak and put it in my crease with my crease brush. Over that I put Almond Truffle from the Bon Bons Palette.

Step 2) with my shadow brush I patted the color Omen from Spectrum on my outer third then blended it inward and upward a bit.

Step 3) Do the exact same thing you did in step two but with the color Flashback from the Spectrum Palette.

Step 4) Blend well with fluffy brush. Then in outer V and blending into crease with crease brush use the color Voodoo from Spectrum.

Step 5) I like to put a white pencil on my lid when using a white or cream shadow to brighten it up so that's what I did. I drew on my lid then spread it out with my finger in a wiping then patting motion. After this I put the color Black Currant from The Bon Bons Palette in my Outer V and outer half of my crease and blended lightly outwards so I didn't darken the lid.

Step 6) With your shadow brush put the color Divinity on the lid exactly where you see it on my lid below.

Step 7) use your shadow brush and very carefully put the color Dark Truffle from the Bon Bons Palette in the Outer V and just smudge out the harsh lines with that brush outwards and a little bit into your natural crease. Use care not to darken the lid but you may want to add a little more Divinity on the lid to brighten it up again after you finish but right before your liner.

Step 8) I used the color Activist from my Tartelette In Bloom Palette in the Outer V. It's a dark brown almost black but you can use Malted from Bon Bons. I just wanted to darken it up.

Step 9) I then added divinity from the top of crease color to under brows with a fluffy brush and put it in inner eye area on side of nose. Then with a skinny brush I used Satin Sheets under arch and in inner V of eye. Then use eyeliner. I used a liquid eye liner. Then add mascara. And line with Black Currant on bottom lash line.
