Revolution Give Them Nightmares Palette | November Rain Smoky Blue Makeup

Here's to the people who like cool-toned make-up. Today, I will show you a smoky teal eye make-up that I paired with peachy nude lips and cheeks. I will also show you my favourite Halloween palette in action. Let's see!

cool-toned make-up look for autumn and winter

I associate smoky teal and darker blue colours with november, I think it's because there is usually a lot of rain involved around that time of the year. Not this year though, today is the first rainy autumn day here as I'm writing this post.

Even though this post is not a palette review, I want to touch on the palette as well. The Makeup Revolution Give Them Nightmares palette was a limited edition palette for their first Halloween. I created this look and took the photos shortly after the palette was released, at the beginning of 2015. 

Still, I wanted to share the look because you can find a great selection of dark teals almost everywhere in case you don't own this palette. Even  Revolution has multiple Halloween-themed palettes with teals, they release one every year, and I'm thankful for that.

I like jewel-toned teal shades particularly on blue eyes the most, the eyeshadow almost makes blue eyes look grey. Don't believe that you can't wear blue eyeshadow on blue eyes! Blue tones harmonize with one another greatly. There is a difference between wanting your eye colour to pop (orange and rust shades do that to blue eyes) and wanting to wear colours that mix well with them. Hope that makes sense.

Being a Halloween item, the Give Them Nightmares palette has a gorgeous selection of "spooky" jewel colours including smoky teals, blues, purples and a burgundy colour. There are 2 rows of shimmery / metallic and one row of matte shades, as all of their Salvation palettes do. The shadows are buttery smooth and hella pigmented, like all of the Revolution palettes I've tried. The Salvation and the Redemption palettes have pristine quality, they are my favourites from the brand.

I would say this look was inspired by listening to a lot of HIM and by Ville Valo's looks; however, if I think about it, he mostly just wears smudged black liner. I guess I was inspired by the fact that he also likes to emphasize his eyes.

HIM is my all-time-favourite band, more so a favourite of my 16 years old self. Nowadays, it's kinda painful to listen to them as it brings back a lot of memories, and I'm just really sad they disbanded. Also, "adult" me tends to listen to metalcore or death metal a lot more, but HIM will always have a special place in my heart.

I bought the palette with my own money.
