Adele Inspired

OH MY GOD I know I know I'm updating.  It's madness.  Ok long story short:  I moved, worked, things happened, I'm "not friendly", my computer failed, I moved back, things are better.  Don't worry about it.



Now that we have that out of the way.  If you don't know who Adele is get the hell out.  Seriously, even if you're in your own house get out of it.  I don't care if you're in pajamas or you're straight up nakers you get the hell out of this damn house RIGHT NOW.  She's amazing and just completely OWNING all charts right now.  Plus she's like gorgeous right?  I hate her now.  If you haven't listened to her music go now before you read this.  OR BETTER YET go listen while reading this... it'll be like a soundtrack.  Awesome.

But to the point... her makeup is always amazing.  I've done a little bit of research and I can't figure out who her makeup artist is but if you know please enlighten me because credit is due.  Adele's makeup is full on... but natural?  Kind of a 90's style of heavy natural makeup with a huge kick of 60's style full on lashes and a winged liquid liner.  Her lip look is pretty much always an over lined nude lip with a good amount of shine without looking like it's leaning towards the porn star nude lip.  You know what I'm talking about...  gross.  She's got a full on base with perfected skin completed with contouring and beautiful highlighting.  Her brows are natural but filled and frame her eyes beautifully.  All in all she's a babe.  True story.

Anyways, I did a quick look inspired by Adele using the Urban Decay Naked Palette... which is a total score I mean seriously.  SERIOUSLY.  It's hard as hell to find in Canada but I picked mine up at Ulta and I ran off like that guy from Lord of the Rings that goes "myyyy precioussssss".  I don't know his name... because I don't care for crap like that.

I have a few quick pictures nothing too fancy and I'll list what I used under them!
