I thought I'd try a smokey eye makeup using the Blend eyeshadow EX-07 from the
Lilac Allure set. I used the darkest colour (3) on my mobile lid, blending out the edges at the crease using the champagne (2). I also added some of the champagne over the darker colour to soften. I used MAC brule as a highlight and lined using Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner in caviar ink. I also used the volume length mascara from the set. This is a nice mascara but it's quite tricky to use the wand with such a short stick!
Here's the finished look. The photo is clickable and I hope the images are large enough for you to see the colours?
I really like this look and found layering the champagne over the darker colour created a nice effect. The shimmer is subtle and very pretty. As ever whilst taking photos a little person wanted to get in on the act, so here's is my 2 year old's beauty blog debut.
Thanks for looking,

ReplyDeleteThanks Charlie. He sat on the floor playing with my brushes saying, I've got pink cheeks too Mummy!

Thats a really nice natural look on you. Your little boy is so cute, my little man will be 2 next month, he has a thing about my makeup and has destroyed several things, his latest was my RBR lip balm :(
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your 50 followers x
Thank you for the congratulations. I'm so excited! I've been puzzling over giveaway prices. I asked my husband for inspiration but he just pulled a face!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear about the lip balm. The brushes and colours are just too inviting for toddlers though. Mine have taken to using my make up case as a foot stool. I really ought to move it to a new home before disaster strikes!
