This look is sooooo easy ladies! You can add a winged liner and lashes if you're wearing these eyeshadows to a holiday party or keep it low key like I did with just the shadows and natural lashes. Up to you!

Here’s how I got the look…

I primed my eyes with my Au Naturale Foundation stick and then “set” it by going all over the lid and blending out into the crease and up with Morphe ES13 Deep Skin with a blending brush.

Then, I applied the purple color from Pop Beauty Twinkle Texture with my finger. These colors are SOOOO buttery and easy to blend. With this kind of creamy formula I like to apply all over the lid with my finger and then blend out with the brush I used originally to make sure the golden nude color and this purple are seamless.

I added a few layers of the purple and more Deep Skin for blending and depth to get it just right.

Next I added highlight with the white color from the Twinkle Texture palette in the inner corner and Morphe Petals on the brow bone.

I then did my brows, concealer, setting powder, contour, and blush. I added highlight on the apples of my cheeks, nose bone, and above the brows. I used Morphe Petals on the apples of my cheeks and Lustrous everywhere else.

Under the eye I packed on the purple eyeshadow with a thin eye brush and then blended it out with Morphe Deep Skin. Then, VERY carefully, I added the purple glitter from the Twinkle Texture palette under each eye. I might try with my finger next time and see if it takes less packing to get the desired effect, because that works best on my upper eyelid, but I was trying to be precise so I was using a thin brush.

I finished off by curling my lashes and adding mascara top and bottom. I let it dry and repeat once or twice to get them nice and curled.

Make sure to tag me on instagram if you try this look! I want to see how it turned out for you and what colors you chose and I’ll repost you on my stories as well. I played around in photo shop to show you what it would look like with green eyeshadow and silver glitter…what do you think?

Grandparent Gift Idea ↠ Nanagram.

I’m so excited to share this gift idea for the grandparents in your life today, because it’s something that we’ve gotten to gift to my Mom and Grandpa (Iris’ Grandma and Great Grandpa) and Iris has been loving it as well! It’s really a gift the whole extended family can enjoy. And it’s easy for us mamas to stay on top of it.

Nanagram is a photo subscription service that allows you to text or email your photos (we are doing the 10 per month plan) and then you can edit and add words to the photos if you’d like. It was so fun last month for my Grandpa, Mom, and Iris to all get a package of the same 10 photos printed out. Iris has loved seeing them on the fridge and flipping through them in her photo album.

You can add as many people as you’d like to your plan (each person added the price goes up, since they get printed photos as well) and anyone you choose can text or send photos by email to the number specified to your account. So if you and your sibling both want to split the 10 photos sent to your grandparent each month, you can! Group gift!

My tips are to favorite every photo you take, as you take it, to have them all in one spot when you’re ready to send. Also, I recommend editing your photos with your preferred method (mine are Lightroom and A Color Story app) before sending them to print. To me, it’s easiest to have them ready to go and in one place that way you can just select 10 photos quickly and text or email them when the time comes.

This service is great for so many types of family members, but especially grandparents since so many of them don’t use social media and may miss a lot of the fun moments you share. Nanagram is the perfect way to keep them in the loop and in a way that’s easy for busy moms.

The ability to send photos by text and a unique email address has made it so simple! The owner is also very responsive via email and the website, and it’s so comforting to know any questions will be answered quickly.

Who are you shopping for this season? Would you try Nanagram? Let me know in the comments!
