A smokey eye with the Tartelette in Bloom palette
3 thoughtful ideas for house guests
Sometimes I get in such a repetitive cycle with eyeshadow palettes, that I only use the same shades over and over and over. I picked up the Tartlette in Bloom palette the other day, having not touched it for a few weeks, and immediately went for a smokey eye look using at least one shade I hadn’t already used before.
If it’s helpful to watch a video to see how I apply eyeshadow when I’m going for a darker crease look, you can watch this! The shades are different, but the method is exactly the same.
I started with “firecracker” all across the lid, then applied “activist” in the outer corners and up into the crease just a bit. I grabbed a smaller eyeshadow brush and pressed “funny girl” right on top of my eyeliner (and this is the technique I used to apply that!) and blended everything out with “charmer”. And to finish, I applied “firecracker” at the base of my lower lashes just to add a bit of depth under my eye to round out the shape.

I loved the look! The shades in the palette show in the images online are much warmer than they look/wear in real life, so just keep that in mind. The final look was rich and chocolatey, with shimmery warm copper/gold all across the lids and lower lash line.
p.s. Here are a bunch of eyeshadow palettes, in a range of prices, that anyone can wear!

Hi Kate!
I’ve been wanting to buy a quality eye palette, but I’m not sure which one to choose: Lorac, Bare Minerals, Tarte..etc….what would you suggest?
P.S. : I LOVE LOVE LOVE your blog. 🙂
P.P.S: Merry Christmas!
Def get Tarte in Bloom!!!
Absolutely pretty! Teach me how to blend eyeshadow your way, Ma’am! I’m such a mess when it comes to them.
This is such a pretty look!
I bought this palette for my mom for Christmas, and I desperately want to try it for myself:)

I have this palette and LOVE the colors, but hate the consistency of the powder when applying. Do you have any tips for that? I feel like it’s a little too… powdery? I end up with it everywhere on the palette and around my eyes and cheeks, even when using a primer.
I almost took it back, but couldn’t part with the color combo.
Um – excuse my profile pic – fantasy football team related!
What color in the Nars lip glide do you have on? Also what shade in the Amazonian clay blush? Both very pretty.
Nars is Bound, and Tarte is Exposed!
Love this look!
Anyway you can change the ads on the page? The Abreva ad at the bottom is so big we can only see half your blog at a time. I can’t even hit next page at the bottom…..just a heads up. Not sure if it’s just me or everyone!?!?! It’s that way on my phone and iPad.
Thanks for letting me know, it definitely shouldn’t be that big! Will look into it stat!
That first pic…. absolutely gorgeous! I think bangs were made for you!
I am new in your blog….a very tasteful blog!
You are beautiful in this makeup!
Kind regards

I struggle with the repetitive cycle with eyeshadow palettes, too. I’d love to see a post on several looks with the same palette, maybe using the same palette for a week or something. I think palettes are great for traveling, but then I end up with the same look for the whole trip.
What is your lip color? You look beautiful as always.
So beautiful!! Your makeup looks PERFECT here, gorgeous!
