ColourPop At Forest Sight Palette Look

Hey folks! Today I bring you a soft, slightly smoky, neutral look. Not to toot my own horn but I LOVE how this look came out. I was so tempted to use the more colorful shades in this palette but I use the Decide Now app to pick shades for me (I usually pick 5 for a look) and these are the ones it landed on. 

Enough blabbering, tutorial time!
I  applied the blush from the Lune+Aster Desert Moon Palette as a base for Hourglass Iridescent Rose Strobe Blush with my Sephora Collection Pro Mini Airbrush 55.5. I also applied illuminator from the Lune+Aster Desert Moon Palette as a base for Hourglass Iridescent Strobe Light Strobe Powder using my Sephora Collection #74 PRO Small Blush and Contour brush.
As a base for my eyeshadow I applied Laura Mercier Caviar Eye Color Stick in Rose Gold and blended it out with my Crown Pro C511 brush.
For the crease I applied Chanterelle along with Puffball with the Sonia Kashuk Essential Blending Crease Brush No. 273 and Crown Pro C511 Brush, respectively.
For the lid  I applied West Coast wet using my  Crown Pro C510 brush and Physicians Formula Rose All Stay Setting Spray. I also added Let It Rain to the outside quarter of the eyelid/crease to add a bit of depth using the same brush.
To highlight the brow-bone and the inner corner of the eye I applied Inglot 353M using my no-name gigantic paddle brush from Crown and Crown Pro C528 brush, respectively.
For eyeliner I applied the Joah I'm so Fly Ink Pen Eyeliner in Black with a nice cat eye. For the waterline I applied NYX Professional Makeup Faux White Inner Eye Brightener in Mint Cream.
For the lower lash line, I applied Old Growth using my Bubbi Detail brush.
The look sans falsies. 

For lashes I used  ColourPop Faux Mink False Lashes in Lovebird along with the Miche Bloomin' Eyelash Glue.
For lips, I applied the ColourPop Just A Tint Lip Crayon in Maui Wowie and topped it off with  the blush from the Lune+Aster Desert Moon Palette and NARS Audacious Lipstick in Deborah.

Hope that you liked this! :D It was super fun for me to put together! 

Please let me know if you have any comments or questions.

ColourPop At Forest Sight Palette Review

Today I bring to you the ColourPop At Forest Sight Palette

Availability: This appears to have been discontinued.
Would I buy this again? Yes!
Notes: This palette is just so beautiful and versatile, overall it has a warm neutral, yet jewel-toned vibe and feel to it, making it absolutely perfect for summer and autumn in particular (although you don't see my caring what time of year it is) but its versatility lies in its textural composition - you have a great selection of mattes that would perform beautifully on any skin-tone and a handful of shimmer pops. This enables you to create very soft, every-day looks and amp them up for evenings or weekends. I definitely think this is a great palette to add to anyone's collection as it contains both colors and textures that will look flattering on anyone. 
Puffball is described as a matte mid-tone yellow brown, I'd agree with their description.
Chanterelle is described as a matte muted marigold, I'd agree with their description. 
Rainer is described as a matte terracotta, I'd... agree with their description.
Old Growth is described as a matte muted warm pink, I agree with their description again.
Evergreen is described as a metallic olive, I'd say it's  a brownish base with a mossy green pearl.
West Coast is described as a metallic yellow gold, I'd  agree with their description.
Homegrown is described as a matte chocolate brown, I'd agree with their description. 
Amanita is described as a rich matte merlot, I'd agree with their description but add that it leans more purple than red.
Fiddlehead is described as a matte olive,  I'd agree with their description.
Emerald City is described as a deep matte teal, I'd call this more of a matte blackened emerald. 
PNW is described as a matte navy, I'd say this is the matte teal in the palette, it does lean heavily to the navy side but still has a hint of teal.
Let It Rain is described as a  matte black with copper pinpoints, this reminds me of Urban Decay Blackheart but better-  I'd agree with their description but add that it has copper, pink, and gold glitter flecks.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
