Here I used just two of the colours. I applied Black Emerald along the lashline in a thick line and Bronze Topaz above Black Emerald, up to the crease.
In the pictures below, I applied the top three colours in the Kalidoscope and lined with YSL Waterproof liner in Shimmering Burgundy. I applied a light wash of Blonde Amber all over the mobile lid then layered Pale Satin Amethyst over the Blonde Amber. I applied Bronze Topaz to the crease and outer corner of the eye using a MAC 217 brush. This is a very soft eye look and I really like how it turned out.
I have been enjoying playing with this palette quite a bit. I don't find I intuitively know where best to place each colour but it has forced me to try out different placement and combination and it's interesting to see how it turns out each time. I think the layering creates such an interesting effect. Overall I find the colours are very brightening and I think they're perfect for the Summer.
How would you apply the colours in this Kaleidoscope?
So pretty! I love all of the combos; so neutral but shimmery.
ReplyDeleteAll the looks are so pretty!! Isn't Penelope so fun to play with?! I love how versatile she is!
ReplyDeleteI am really looking forward to getting mine. I particularly like it on you with the bolder line of the dark green.
ReplyDeleteThat looks fantastic on you!
ReplyDelete@Tenderheart: Thanks, you almost wouldn't expect neutral when looking at the palette but with the layering you can achieve quite a few neutral looks.
ReplyDelete@PerilouslyPale: It is a lot of fun. I keep challenging myself as I'm not normally creative with colour combinations!
@Grace: I really look forward to seeing what eye looks you do with Penelope. The green is one of my favourite colours, it's very 'rich' looking.
@HDTM: Thank you! I wearing it with Echo in the final picture. Love it! :D

Gah, you have made me want it even more now! So beautiful on you, I love how you have used the colours. They really need to come back to the UK now..stamps foot....
ReplyDeleteIn other news I picked up one of those Dior lift palettes today, not tried it yet but I wanted to dazzle you with how long I managed to hold off buying one ;)

BEAUTIFUL! Love this on you.
ReplyDelete@Replica: Thank you. I think we need to see about sorting out a CP for you with one of the US ladies. I could ask on Twitter if you like? I laughed out loud at your Dior purchase! Some amazing restraint there ;). I can't wait to see what you think of it. I suspect these are going to natter at me!
ReplyDelete@Sabrina: Thank you so much! I'm really enjoying playing with this one.

I love how the colours translate on the lid - it is incredibly pretty. I like that bright lippie in the 3rd pic too.
ReplyDeletethe colours are so subtle yet glam in a way. Love how you used them!
ReplyDeleteSubtle and sexy and looking fantastic on you!
ReplyDeleteWOW that is pretty! I feel a lemming forming!
ReplyDeleteI love this. Another amazing product from LMdB! It's looks beautiful on you Jane :)
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous! This palette looks so nice on so many people, and I am really encouraged to see the cool-toned women wearing it. I really love the 3 combo on you and would probably use that look most. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe last look is gorgeous! I think I need to check out these LMdB palettes!
ReplyDeleteIt's just stunning on you! I have only played 3 times so far it mine but it's l-o-v-e!

I'm really trying to resist this palette but its growing on me. My LMdB counter MA applied this to me on saturday and my eyes looked huge!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful. I am (black emerald) green with envy! Did you get a PR sample? Can't believe LMDB is still not available in the UK. I'm competely out of my favourite blushes Echo and Poppy Creme. I went to visit their counter in Paris but they hardly have anything stock. I looked into ordering from Nordstrom but it's far too expensive.
ReplyDeleteHi Jane,
ReplyDeleteSorry for late responce my computer seems to be having issues with your blog of late, I either can't get it to fully load, or the pages go whizzing up and down. I clearly lack any technical skills to know what the issue is ;)
Jeanie has very kindly come to my penelope rescue, I'm very exicited! x
Utterly gorgeous. Thanks so much for showing so many looks!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE those last two looks on you, you look super hot with a smoked out eye and a pink lip!!! ;)
ReplyDeletexxx
Thank you all for you lovely comments!
ReplyDelete@French_Kitty: Yes, this was a PR sample. I added the disclosure in the initial post but forgot to add it here too. I got Echo through an International exchange and I love it. LMdB are working on coming back. Fingers crossed you’re not without your favourites for too long!
@Replica: Hurray for Jeanie!
@Meeta: The bright lippie is the darker of the two Essence lipsticks that I reviewed recently.

Gorgeous! I love all three looks :) This is a surprisingly versatile palette! xx
