It is THANKSGIVING DAY! Things I am MOST thankful for today – my sweet children and husband, our 11 year old dog, my mother and father, my in-laws, and all of our close friends that are like family. I also continue to be thankful for the little things like makeup and its ability to help me express my creativity. Here’s my turkey day inspired multicolored eye makeup look…
If you’ve never heard of an ocellated turkey, well it was my inspiration for this eye makeup combo…I’m not kidding. It is a smaller, more colorful version of the American wild turkey. It’s known for it’s blue & bronze spots, orange to reds, and a touch of gold. Hence my eye makeup sported here!
For the eyes I used all colors from the e.l.f. palette. *Side note – this palette would make a great gift for any makeup lover, because it’s good quality for super cheap!*
HOW TO:
1. I started by applying a matte ivory all over my lid.
2. A matte turquoise shadow in the center of my lid up to my crease.
3. Applied a shimmery eggplant/maroon shade along the crease and in a sideways V shape on both eyes.
4. Lined my lower inner waterline with the emerald liner, and lined the upper lid with the coffee liquid liner.
5. Smudge a matching olive green shimmer shadow along just the lower lash line.
6. Added a tiny touch of metallic gold in the tear duct area.
Thanksgiving is one of those holidays that I completely get into because the main focus is on eating, drinking, and being merry, without having to wrap or buy gifts! Just good ole family and friends getting together. Below is a blessing that applies to today, and everyday, that all of my kids have been saying since my oldest was born. He was given a bib by a friend that actually had a button on it and when you pressed it, would say this blessing out loud! It’s my favorite…
I am also very thankful for all of my wonderful followers and readers of JennySue Makeup- YOU!!
I hope everyone has a fantastic Thanksgiving Day celebrating with family and friends.
