I don't know how you feel about makeup. Maybe you are experienced, maybe you're excited about using makeup and getting into the makeup crazed world. NYC is an all around good brand, especially for beginners! When I was a teenager, this was my go to brand. But unlike when I was a teen, the company has come a long way from their old products to now.

My favorite color is the highlight color, it's shows up, unlike the other colors, on my skin. The brown does not show up on my skin at all, as you can tell (I have medium brown skin tone). And the last color(to the very right), barely. But since I got this product to try, I don't mind. I would repurchase, but opt for a darker color selection but still keeping it natural, maybe a light colors of pinks. The pigmentation isn't so hot for this palette. Also the package is about as cheap as it can get. I dropped it once and the first(highlighter color) eye shadow broke into pieces and got into the other shadows and totally ruined the whole palette. And I only dropped it once! But there are good things about this palette. Such as, how easy it is to use, you don't need to be a makeup artist to use this palette to your advantage. It's great for beginners, and I think it's really geared toward teenagers, as the satin finish looks young and youthful.
Create this look:
Let me tell you these easy directions to achieve this.
Step 1: Get your Long Beach Sands palette, fingers(or brushes), and a red lipstick or light pink eyeshadow

So this is going to be our guide. We're not gonna follow the instructions in the palette, so throw them AWAY!
Step 2: Apply a base. Such as a primer, foundation or even moisturizer!
Step 3: Apply A over your highlight/brow bone and your inner corner and tear duct.
Step 4 Apply C over your entire eyelid.
Step 5: Get a pink lipstick and dab some on your index finger and apply it on your outer V and blend. OR light pink eye shadow and apply it on your outer V and blend.
Step 6: Apply B on your contour/crease and blend!
Step 7: Apply eyeliner and generously coat your eyelashes with a mascara of your choice.
Step 8: Proceed to your other eye and try to follow the exact same steps and make them look even.
And your look is complete! Be sure to comment and let me know how this worked out for you!
Bye Lovelies!
