Toffee Eyes and a Matte Lip
links + small things
It’s all about hydration for this makeup look, especially since I knew I would use a lot of different finishing powders (contour, bronzer, highlight, etc).
I wanted to create a warm, toffee eye look with a barely-there cat-eye. I must admit that I love the more modern look of a cat-eye these days. I often see it created with eyeshadow instead of eyeliner, but the product I use in this demo is very easy to use and gives you the same effect.

Hi Kate! You look gorgeous and I love this video! Did you use a third color of eyeshadow below your brow? Did you use both the powder and cream blush or just one, if so which one? Also, would you please do a video showing how your styled your hair in these waves? It looks fabulous! Thanks again!
I would love to know how you curl your hair like this!!!
How did you do your hair for this video?

Hi Kate
First of all….your makeup looks great, as always……..BUT that hair…..oh my goodness. That photo on the left where you are looking straight at the camera, makeup and hair goals !! Like a few others here, can you tell us how you styled your hair for this.
this is a wonderful color palette on you…warmer, softer, more natural…🌼
How did you curl you hair? It almost looks crimped and not curled. Did you use a curling iron?
