Looks: Bohemian Fantasy

Hello everyone,

as much as I love my shimmery eyeshadows, it’s nice to do something different every now and then. So, I decided to do a matte look with my beloved Sleek Bohemian palette. I used yellow, purple and dark blue and I’m very pleased with how the look turn out. It is so intense and the colors were all very easy to blend too. Here’s the look:

Products used:
- Too Faced Shadow Insurance
- Sleek I-Divine Bohemian Eyeshadow Palette
- Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Zero
- Kiko Ultra Tech Waterproof Mascara
- YSL Teint Singulier Sheer Powdercreme Veil Foundation
- Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer
- NYC Blushable Creme Stick in Big Apple Blush
- Wet n Wild Cover All Concealer Palette
- Layla Miracle Gloss in n.2

Directions:
- Start by applying an eyeshadow primer to your eyes (I used Too Faced Shadow Insurance) to help makeup stay put all day and improve the color payoff of the eyeshadows.
- Using a fluffy, crease brush, apply a matte dark brown shade (I used the one in the Sleek Bohemian Eyeshadow Palette) on the crease.
- Apply a matte pale beige shade (I used the one in the Sleek Bohemian Eyeshadow Palette) on the inner part of the lid. Apply the same shade on the inner lower lashline.
- Apply a matte medium purple shade (I used the one in the Sleek Bohemian Eyeshadow Palette) on the rest of the lid and the outer V. Blend where it meets with the yellow and brown.
- Apply a matte dark blue shade (I used the one in the Sleek Bohemian Eyeshadow Palette) on the outer V and bring it all the way into the crease to darken it. Blend well.
- Sweep a matte white shade (I used the one in the Sleek Bohemian Eyeshadow Palette) on the browbone.
- Line your upper lashline with a black pencil liner (I used – Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Zero) and apply mascara.
- On your face, apply your usual foundation (I used YSL Teint Singulier Sheer Powdercreme Veil Foundation in no.5) and then concealer (I used Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer in Porcelain) to cover dark circles or any other imperfection you may have.
- Sweep a cream pink blush with gold shimmers (I used NYC Blushable Creme Stick in Big Apple Blush) on your cheeks and highlight the cheekbones, middle of the nose and chin with a white highlighter (I used the white shade in the Wet n Wild Cover All Concealer Palette).
- Apply a shimmery fuchsia gloss (I used Layla Miracle Gloss in n.2) on your lips.

Beautiful! I’d say this is your best look yet. It’s so deep. It makes me think of Morocco for some reason, even though I’ve never been there.

Smoking hot! And yes, the Bohemian palette is a gift for adventurous souls. Can’t wait to buy the natural Sleek eyeshadows palette that’s released this year though. :-)
