So, since I have green eyes I am drawn to purples. I prefer subdued hues, but sometimes dramatic eye shadow is where it's at. Enter why I bought this palette.
It's obviously a little used already, but the "locations" for where each color should go are stamped into the powders: Brow Bone, Eye Lid, Crease, Definer
On the back of the palette it has some simple directions and a diagram. There are no color names for any of the shadows, just the names of the "looks".
I did these swatches over primer. The "brow bone" color is super light and barely shows. I tried layering it several times but it didn't help much. It's definitely meant to be a subtle highlighter. The "definer" color barely shows up for the day scheme. It's more of just... a glitter-giver. The other two colors are fairly pigmented. The "night look" colors are all well pigmented.
Here is the look I created using the"daytime" colors. The purples came out very vibrant and brought the green out in my eyes beautifully. Unfortunately this was the same day I tried the
bareMinerals Ready SPF 20 Foundation, so I am not at all happy with how my skin looks in this photo. I used:
Annnd... that's all she wrote! I have another look that I did with the other side of this post. It seems to be the more favorited look of the two; I'll post it in a day or two. :)
This looks lovely, the sort of colours I tend to wear too.
