EOTD 05 : Purples + Pinks (using UD15)

Believe it or not. I wore this look for a dinner with a friend. With my glasses on. Yeah!!! 

The main focus of this look is the Urban Decay 15th Anniversary Eyeshadow palette. If you read my previous post here about my beauty dilemma, I asked a question whether I should review two eyeshadow palettes or just share the looks I do with them. I then received a comment from Ngaku, asking me to share the looks I create with the palettes so here's the first - a bright purple and pink look! 

My EOTD posts are no longer tutorial-ish where I show you how to place the colors and etc because I am using a terrible camera which distorts the eyeshadow colors and I hate it! Because of that, I find it difficult to take photos of every step I do to achieve a look hence I post only pictures of the final look taken with my iPad. 

I do hope this is temporary but... we'll see.

Beauty Dilemma

Last holiday season, I got to own two very beautiful eyeshadow palettes :-

1) Urban Decay 15th Anniversary Eyeshadow Palette

2) TheBalm Nude'Tude Nude Eyeshadow Palette

I was graciously given the Urban Decay palette and then purchased TheBalm palette at a really great deal last Christmas. 

The question now is, should I do a product review for these two palettes? Or just show different looks I put on with these palettes? What do I do? What do I do? But really, these palettes have been out for some time. There are tons of reviews and swatches out there in the beauty-blogging world. I, personally, would rather show you looks I achieve with these palettes. 

Anyways, here are pictures of the palettes.
(Pictures do not belong to me. Credits go to their respective owners.)

GORGEOUS, aren't they? LOVE LOVE LOVE! These two palettes are definitely daily makeup staples for me.

Do let me know if you want to see pictures of looks I do with these palettes. I would love to share! :)

EOTD 02 : Smokey Greens

So, I went to watch Rango tonight with a friend and since the main character in the movie is a lizard/chameleon, I was inspired to do a green eyeshadow look for the night. Teehee. 

As always, here are the products I used :

Face

Cellnique Total Daytime Protection 30

ZA Skin Beauty Face Powder in shade 01

The Body Shop Vitamin E Face Mist

Cheeks

Bobbi Brown's Pot Rouge for Lips and Cheeks in Powder Pink

MAC Sheertone Blush in Instant Chic

Eyebrows

Elianto Eyebrow Definer Pencil in Brown

Revlon Matte Eyeshadow in Rich Sable

Eyes

Stage Prime Time Eye Perfecting Base in 01 Vanilla

NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Rocky Mountain Green

Urban Decay Deluxe Eyeshadow in Graffiti

Kate Gradical Eye Palette in GR1 (the green palette)

MAC Pigment in Melon

Elianto vibrant shadow in Early Dawn

Max Factor 2000 Calorie Dramatic Look mascara (non-waterproof formula)

Lips
Revlon ColorBurst in 070 Soft Nude

Stage Wondergloss Lipgloss in 12 Sophia

Apply an eye primer (Stage Prime Time Eye Base in Vanilla) all over the lids up to the brow bone : for eyeshadow to appear more vibrant and to avoid creasing (especially if you have oily lids).

Apply a green-colored cream eyeshadow (NYX Rocky Mountain Green) on the lids, passing the crease and leaving the inner corner of the eyes open. The cream eyeshadow will act as a sticky base for your powder eyeshadow to adhere to.

Next, pat on a cool green eyeshadow (Urban Decay Graffiti) all over the area where the cream eyeshadow was placed.

Blend out the cool green eyeshadow after patting it on.

Using a dark green eyeshadow (KATE Gradical Eyes green palette - the darkest green), place it on the outer crease of the eye and blend it together with the cool green eyeshadow.

Following that, apply a bright apricot gold eyeshadow (MAC Melon pigment) into the inner corner of the eye, blending it into the cool green eyeshadow.

Fill in the eyebrows (Elianto Definer Pencil in Brown and Revlon Rich Sable) and highlight with a matte off-white eyeshadow (Elianto Early Dawn).

Blend out the harsh edges for a smooth finish. 

Curl your lashes and apply your favorite mascara!

Here's the completed look in different lighting. :D

Hope you all enjoyed this! Till then...
