I really like the look but I think I would play down the eyeliner if I was to wear this to work. I am not going to give a complete breakdown of the products but talk about the ones mentioned above. So I contoured with the ABH Contour Kit which I really like. There is a contour shade for every complexion and also a shimmery highlighter. It applies softly and evenly which is a bonus. However I chose to use the The balm Mary Lou-Manizer to highlight today and this product I adore. It is so soft and silky and applies like a dream, plus you can build it up.
Next up is the ABH Dipbrow Pomade and Tinted Brow Gel in Chocolate. At first I was a bit apprehensive to apply this as I didn't want my eyebrows to look unnatural but the key is in how much product you use and how you use your brush. I started feathered underneath my brow and then brushed upwards and then feathered above and filled in. Then to top it off and set it I lightly brushed on the tinted brow gel. So just so you know I just took off my makeup now and my brows have stayed intact with no smudging. Brownie points!
I also used the Tammana eyeshadow palette which has some really pretty eyeshadows. I used China Rose which reminded me of MAC's Paradisco but is more buttery in texture. Then I used the UD palette to add a dark brown colour to the crease and highlight. I also used the Ben Nye Luxury Powder in Banana, a powder used by Kim K's make up artist. I usually use the LM Secret Brightening Powder which I love as it is light and doesn't settle into any lines underneath my eyes. I used the Ben Nye today and it did brighten my eyes subtly but I wasn't like wowed or anything. I think it is a little overrated and also what might work for someone may not work for you.
Overall, I am impressed with how these products have performed and hope I use them on a regular basis now!
