Bite charm Multistick in Honeywheat, the unsung hero of all your warm brown palettes. Ne kaikki!
Mikä on unung meikki sankari? Minulle se on usein aliarvostettu meikki Morsel, pysyvä keräystuote, joka scoots on lukuisten meikki ystävien tutka-näytön alla, mutta usein kiviä maailmani. The long-running Unsung Heroes series features some of my favorites.
I’ve had *three* conversations over the last few days about warm brown eyeshadow palettes.
Have you discovered when you walk into a Sephora, an Ulta or a drugstore that those six-pan palettes with orange browns and reddish browns are everywhere? It’s like, Oh, there’s urban Decay naked Heat, and there’s NARS Wanted, and there’s Anastasia modern Renaissance.

They’re all over the place!
Olen fani. I think they’re fun. My heart’s all, “Blow out those warm orange-y and red smoky eyes until your wrist falls off, K!” but my mind’s like, “Realistically, you have 15 minutes to do your makeup today, so look for shortcuts.”
Shortcuts: I’m all about them.

I’ve been starting my smoky looks lately by layering two cream shadows together, one lighter and one darker, to jump start the smoky gradient effect.
I might not always have the time to layer and blend with the care that smoky eyes typically need (but who does, really?), but this trick at least gets me halfway there.
MAC NC42 over here for reference.
This warm matte chocolate brown is Bite charm Multistick in Honeywheat ($24), and it’s the lighter shade I’ve been using in many of my smoky eye looks lately. I think it’s the best base shade for those orange-y and reddish brown palettes (or pretty much any nude/neutral palette in your stash).
It’s a multipurpose cream stick for lids, lips and cheeks with a pliable consistency that you can easily push around with your brush. It’s not oily or greasy, though, so it actually stays where it belongs once it sets, which takes about five minutes.
Other creams blend into it easily, too, and powder shadows glide across it without sticking to any spots.

I used Honeywheat as the lighter cream base here and blended it with MAC Teddy as the darker cream. Then, I blended powder eyeshadows from the MAC Made Jagger golden shine quad on top.
Most of the time I use it on bare lids and draw a few chunky strokes along my lash line. then I feather it out with a domed brush as I relocation up toward my crease and brow bone. After that, I blend a darker cream shadow directly on top to start the smoky gradient.

For a very fast smoky eye, you can even stop best there.
