The Benefit Scene Queen palette
When would I rock a await like this? Well, frequently! — specifically, whenever I'd want to expect dressed upwards only not overdone, 24-hour interval or night. If information technology feels a little also dramatic for daytime wear to work/schoolhouse, perhaps requite it a try out one night with friends or your boo.
Because it puts so many great products at my fingertips, I love the Benefit Scene Queen palette, just take a look at your existing makeup stash for like colors… Yous might already accept the right fixin'due south to duplicate the look.

The eye makeup, pace-past-footstep (ooh baby!)
ane. Brainstorm past prepping your lids. To create a smooth sheet for color and extend the wear time of my eye makeup, I'll start with an eyeshadow primer. For this wait, I applied Benefit Stay Don't Stray over the entire lid with a finger. Then, I dabbed the base of operations eyeshadow color, Shimmering Beige Eyeshadow, directly on top with a fluffy eyeshadow brush.
2. Add a POP! of color. Since this look contains some darker shades, I as well wanted to add some color (simply not then much that information technology overwhelmed the center). I wet the head of my fluffy shadow brush with a spritz of makeup fixing spray and and then used it to use Misty Blueish Eyeshadow onto the lid. Next, I drew the color up into the pucker and smoothed out any harsh lines with the blending castor.
3. Deepen the look, and add smoke in the outer corner. For a daytime-friendly smokey outcome, I applied Navy Eyeshadow to the outer corner and, with my trusty blending brush, mellowed out any harsh lines.
4. Define the look with liner. To describe attention to my peepers (and to create the illusion of thicker lashes), I lined both the upper and lower waterlines (and lash lines) with Smokin' Liner.
five. Soften the look with layering. Because black liner can look a niggling harsh for daytime wear, I toned it down past smudging Navy Shadow forth the lashlines with the small smudge castor.
6. Finish the optics with mascara. Finally, the finishing touches! I curled my lashes with the Do good ProCurl Curler and applied three coats of Benefit BADgal Waterproof Mascara to the upper lashes.

The video is freakin' hilarious! It stars the rapping Southwest flight attendant from their commercials (he waxes philosophic on Benefit makeup, so funny!) and gives lots of tips and tricks.
