Fall Tutorial With Lorac Pro 2

Fall is my favorite season. I love the gray skies, sweater weather and bringing Starbucks back into my routine. But, most of all, I love Fall make-up!

Today, we're going to create a look using the Lorac Pro 2 palette. I can already tell that this will be a staple, for me, for Fall and Winter! Let's get started!


First, you want to prime your eyes. I used my favorite primer by Urban Decay. Then, with a fluffy blending brush, I buffed Light Brown into my crease.


Next, with a shader brush, I packed Rose onto the inner half of my lid and into the inner corner. Be sure to blend the colors together after each step.


After that, I took Jade and packed it onto the outter half of my lid with another shader brush. Then blended Rose and Jade together.


Then, with a small blending brush, I blended Plum into my outter V.


After doing my brows, I highlighted my brow bone with the lightest color, Snow.


Make sure to blend, blend, blend! Now it's time for eyeliner! All I did was add black liquid liner to my top lash line. I didn't do a thick line and I didn't wing it just so that I didn't take away from the shadow. 


Last, you want to add a coat or two of your favorite mascara! And that completes your eyes!


For my face, I wanted to keep it simple. I used a liquid foundation that sets to a matte finish, bronzed my face and added a deep colored blush. On my lips, I wanted a dark matte lipstick so I used MAC's Diva. 

Here's the final look!

Lorac Pro 2 Palette: Swatches and Review


Lorac's amazing Pro 1 palette is one of the most used palettes in my collection. So, imagine my excitement when I found out that a new one was coming out! Well, the wait is over and it has made it's way into my make-up drawer. 

The original was warm toned, a lot like Urban Decay's first Naked palette. This one is much more cool toned. It also has a few pops of color, like the first one, with colors like Plum, Navy and Jade. 

Pigmentation in this is absolutely perfect! There is also no fallout with the mattes and very little with the shimmers (just be sure to tap the excess shadow from your brush).

Within the palette you get 8 mattes and 8 shimmers. It also comes with a deluxe sample of their Behind The Scenes eye primer.

Lorac Pro 2, $42
The top row is all mattes.



The bottom row is all shimmer.



This came just in time for fall and I can't wait to create a ton of looks with all the gorgeous colors! Come back soon for a fall tutorial!

Perfect Palette Tag

Technically I wasn't personally tagged to do this, but tons of beauty gurus were like, "if you want to do it, I tag you." So I was like, I'M GAME! This was pretty hard to figure out though. I have a few items I love for each question, but I narrowed it down to one for each... OK, except for one. :) 

1. Best Packaging: Urban Decay's Vice 2




Vice 2 is one of my favorite palettes overall! I am a sucker for Urban Decay and all of their packaging. In my opinion, no company does it better than them. I love the kinda watercolor/galaxy effect it has. I also love how it opens, all you have to do it push a button and OPEN SESAME! This one also comes with a gigantic mirror and a great brush! There really isn't anything I don't love about it.

2. Best Color Payoff: Shout out to Urban Decay! All 3 Naked Palettes!




Urban Decay does not disappoint when it comes to color payoff. Everyone of these palette's blend beautifully and the payoff is awesome! They are definitely worth the money and they last so long!

3. Most Versatile: Lorac Pro Palette




With 8 mattes and 8 shimmer/satins you can create practically any look you want. I love that there are so many neutrals and a few pops of color too. I almost didn't get it since I had Naked 1 and 2 but I am so happy I did! I use it so much! They also just came out with the Lorac Pro 2! I can't wait to get my hands on it!

4. Best for Traveling: Urban Decay Naked Basics




I think this is great for traveling mainly because of it's size. No, there aren't any blushes or anything like that but I am able to use Faint for my brows. You can use this for simple daytime looks or a nighttime smokey eye.

5. Biggest Regret: Urban Decay The Glinda Palette




Now don't get me wrong, I LOVE this palette. The colors are gorgeous and I have used it. I don't even regret it that much (I got it for half off the regular price!). But I suppose if I have to choose one, this is it.

6. Best Color Names: Naked 2



With names like Half-baked, Tease and Pistol this palette definitely has some good names.  

7. Least Used: Too Faced Joy to the Girls




I don't think I use this very much because of the color selection. I either have the colors in other palettes that I use more or I just don't really care for them. I'm not one to use a baby blue or super light pink. I will say that the LashGASM mascara that came with it is one of my favorites!

8. Most Used/Most Loved/Desert Island: Too Faced The Chocolate Bar Palette




I definitely use this one more than any other! The smell, the colors, the payoff, IT IS PERFECT! I recommend this one more than any other.
