Neutral and Sexy Date Night Makeup

No matter how hard I try, I can never get that sultry, smokey eye and nude makeup look right. The blush, lippie and base are easy to nail but my uneven lids have seen my many failed attempts And so last week, I sought help from the talented team at Chanel who showed me that with 4 simple colours and layering, any eyeshadow dummy can do it. Here’s our edit to neutral and sexy date night makeup.

Chanel quad eyeshadow – 73 AUD – harrods.com

It’s a bit expensive for what it is but the colours are universally flattering. Layer to add drama. I used this palette for the races but it’s very pigmented and suitable for night occasions when paired with black eyeliner. I never buy eyeshadow but this makes a big difference in photos.

Nars amour cosmetic – 34 AUD – narscosmetics.com

We all know Nars’ Orgasm – the brand’s claim to fame but this one – Amour is the perfect pink.

Too Faced Cosmetics brow kit – 44 AUD – beauty.com

Eyebrows frame the face so this is a must-have. The brow kit has everything you need to keep brows neat.

NARS Cosmetics moisturizing foundation – 51 AUD – narscosmetics.com

Flawless makeup starts with a fresh canvas. This gives the perfect matte finish and lasts all day.

LORAC lips makeup – 18 AUD – zappos.com

It’s so hard to find a nude lip that suits your natural lip colour. So you don’t look like a corpse, always try before you buy.

Christian Dior voluminous mascara – 30 AUD – bloomingdales.com

Amazing find! If I didn’t opt for falsies, this would be my go-to weapon.
