Taupe cut crease & mauve lips

It has been a while I created a look with neutral colors and I thought now would be a time for it - after all previous blues, bronzes, browns and greens looks on this blog.
I don't really like looks using neutral colors because I find them boring. I like bright colors or smokey eyes much more. But I took it as a challenge to create look using neutral colors but still being fun, dramatic or outstanding - call it as you want to. This is what I came up with.
I was using entirely my W7 in the Buff palette (which is exact dupe of Urban Decay Naked 2 palette only 4 times cheaper:-) so who wouldn't buy it?). The shades in it are beautiful, my absolutely most favourite is the matt taupe brown/mauve shade. I used mainly this shadow for this particular eye look.

First I applied eyelid primer (Paint pot Soft Ochre by MAC) all over the lid. Then I applied matt skin color shade from In the Buff palette all over the crease to make smooth texture for following shadows. Then I started applying taupe brown shadow into my crease and I blended it very well upwards (towards my brow bone) with bit of that matt skin color shade I used earlier. I made the outer V darker with black shadow blended with dark taupe one (right next to it in the palette). When I was done blending and making transmission between shadows smooth I applied white kohl pencil into inner 2/3rds of my lid (the moving part) and I applied some into my inner corners as well. I blended that pencil a bit with my finger and afterwards I applied shimmery white/pink eyeshadow on top of it. This step made the cut crease more defined.
I applied the same white pencil onto my waterline. Then I moved on to the liner. I applied quite thick line from my very inner corners to outer corners where I extended it towards brows to achieve elongated eye effect. Then I put white pencil right under this extended part to make it even more defined. Then I applied that same matt taupe eyeshadow on my lower lid as
well. Then I made second wing (line) with black eyeshadow. After I was done with shadows and eyeliner, I put on 3 coats of mascara to my top lashes. I was thinking about using false lashes but I decided not to use them - my lashes are quite thick and long so I don't need false lashes anyway.
I moved on to rest of the face, after applying primer first, I used concealer under my eyes to cover all the dark circles. Normally I put a little drop on back of my hand and I apply it on my skin just with using fingers. The leftover concealer I mixed with foundation and I apply it all over my face using. Then I did quite heavy contouring using very dark concealer and this was actually the first time I also use contouring on my nose as well. For highlighting I used very light foundation stick and I set everything with compact powder. Then I did my brows using Anastasia Beverly Hills dipbrow pomade. As a last I did my lips. I mixed 2 shades on back of my hand and I applied them on the lips with brush - this way you can mix up any colors you want.
