Golden Fall Smokey Eyes && $1,000 Sigma Makeup Brush Giveaway

October 18, 2011


I wore this look in my most recent video (My Jewelry Collection– click here if you haven’t seen it already!) and the majority of the comments were asking for a tutorial on it! I also did this look for a girl’s homecoming night- it looked AMAZING with her dress! The 3 color gradation kind of got lost on camera, but in person it is truly stunning. It looks like a sunset on your eyes! 

I’ve been using Sigma Brushes for almost 2 years now. Their face and eye brushes are my absolute favorites (ESPECIALLY the Sigmax line- the f80 flat top kabuki is my go-to foundation brush). They recently contacted me asking if I’d like to hold a giveaway on my channel- the prize being $1,000 in products from their site. I seriously couldn’t believe they would be willing to sponsor THAT large of a giveaway for my viewers! I could not say no to an opportunity to give back to you in such a big way! So without further delay- here are the rules

    I really enjoyed this video,this look is very charming. Golden Fall Smokey Eyes, I am definitely trying that! I never tried to get creative with my make up before because I don't have any brushes to work with. Hopefully not for long. I think you picked the perfect prize! These Sigma brushes are amazing.

    Thank You.
