New Year's Eve Smoky Eye

Happy New Year's Eve!
I don't know about you, but I am beyond thrilled that 2017 is over. This year has definitely been a struggle. I'm hopeful that 2018 will be better. I already have my New Year's resolutions decided too!
I knew I wanted to do a New Year's Eve look (even though there is a 99% chance that I will be tucked all snug in bed tonight). I struggled to decide what I wanted to create. For New Year's Eve, everything screams glitter, and sparkles, and my initial thought was to gravitate towards that type of look. But I wasn't feeling all glittery and sparkly. So, this is what ended up happening.
When I actually sat down to do my makeup, I opened my palette and immediately gravitated towards the black. Even writing this I'm still surprised. I think I've used black eye shadow maybe twice in my life. It scares me. I feel that I'll never do it right and that I can't pull it off. But I was feeling dark and grungy today so why not?
I created this using about 4 shadows from the Jaclyn Hill X Morphe Palette. I just threw in some transition shades, blended it out, and voila! Instant glam smoky eye! Out of all of the looks I've done for my blog or Instagram in the past, I'm pretty sure this was the quickest!
With having a black matte smoky eye, I knew I wanted to do something shimmery on my lips. I used Anastasia Beverly Hills' liquid lipstick in Allison as my base color. I then went over top with Jouer's Frost Bite Lip Topper. This still wasn't giving me enough oomph, so I topped it some more, but this time I used Make Up For Ever's Star Lit Powder in 13. Not gonna lie... it didn't photograph nearly is fantastic as it looked in person. The rest of my makeup is listed below.
