Silk Road Kaleidoscope Applied

I recently posted pictures of the Le Metier Silk Road Kaleidoscope. As promised, here is a picture of all of the colours applied. It took a little while for me to figure out how best to apply this palette but I think I've finally cracked it.

Face
Max Factor Second Skin in Creamy Ivory
Old Ruby + Millie powder and wax set on brows
RMK Super Basic Liquid concealer on undereyes
BECCA concealer in praline on blemishes
e.l.f. HD powder
RBR Delicata blusher
Pink blusher from the Chantecaille Turtles palette on the the apples of the cheeks

Lips
Giorgio Armani Shine lipstick in #5
(in the final image I added a touch of Hourglass gloss in Ignite)


I was so pleased with how this turned out. After being very nervous of the gold/copper Damask, I found that layering lightly over the plum Tapestry shade created a wonderful effect. As you can probably tell, I added a little more of the gold towards the inner corner of the eye. I layered both of the darker shades only on the outer edge of the eye and into the crease. As always with the signature Le Metier couches de couleur technique, the overall effect is greater than the sum of its parts.

  10. So, so, so lovely!
    Replica is so right to describe it as having a smoky/haze effect, could not agree more. And I love the combination of Delicata and Chantecaille blushers on your cheeks as well.
    Stunning!

  12. Thanks you all so much for your lovely comments. They meant a huge amount to me, especially as I have long admired so many of you ladies skill with makeup application.

    @Replica: Ah, thank you so much. I take that as a huge compliment as I always admire you makeup skills x

    @nicoletta: The layered colours give a lovely sheen. I’m glad you like it.

    @Jan: We can blame hairdresser avoidance for the current length!

    @Marcia: Is it this Saturday coming? I really hope you love it too.

    @Nina: Ah, thank you. I keep reaching for the Turtles blusher. It’s a goody!

    @Jen W: Thanks Jen. I was pleased I added Ignite as an after thought. It seemed to add a bit more life the lip colour.

    Thank you all again,
    Jane x
