Bronze smoky eye with Sephora Blockbuster

Oh dear, I seem to have scowled my way through all the photographs for today's smoky eye. Ah well, it was a bit too sunny and I don't think sunglasses are quite the thing when you try to showcase your eye makeup.
The only time I now wear neutral eyeshadows, especially brown-based shades, is in-between a spate of bright colours. I really think they photograph - and therefore, look - rather alike and meh on me, especially because of my eye colour and skintone. Still, when you have a different palette to play with, you always get some fun out of the eyeshadows (until they show up in the photographs)!

Here is a bronze smoky eye makeup look I did using the Sephora Makeup Academy Blockbuster Palette. 

Hopefully, I will review the Blockbuster before Sephora launches the next one in November 2014! I picked a rusty shade for all over the lid and a deeper shimmery brown eyeshadow for the outer crease. I picked an ivory matte for the brow bone.

This was with the Kat von D eye primer, which also doubles up as concealer. I used the Bourjois Erasable Eyeliner here and finished with the Lancome Hypnose Doll Eyes mascara. And there is Benefit Gimme Brow on my eyebrows.
The reason this is such a short post is, I have been having a few nights out (and daytime shopping sessions), with my birthday coming up on Monday. Things will become less hectic after that, hopefully!
