Gorgeous Blue Smokey Eye Fall 2012
December 3, 2012
Products Used
*I do have the products annotated in the video, but I also placed them here in a concise list with commentary.
Primer: M.A.C.s Paint Pot in Painterly Lemme tell you something, I have used eyeshadow primers from E.L.F, NYX, BH Cosmetics and Urban Decay and by far, this is the best e/s primer yet. Just look at the before and after pics of this look. I was out, dancing in a hot atmosphere. Now, I purposely tried not to break a sweat, lol. But my e/s did not crease, fade or budge at all. It is worth the investment of 18.50. You don't need much and it will last a very long time. This will make its way into my MUA kit eventually.
I did not use "Painterly" alone. To make the colors pop, I also used a little bit of NYX Jumbo Pencil in White. Many of you may already be using this product. So I must attribute the staying power to both products. But in the Paint Pots defense, I use it mostly without the white base and the makeup does not budge!
Featured Eyeshadow: Lighter Blue Shade - found in the 88 Color Matte Eyeshadow Palette. BUT, the link to the palette that shows the picture looks slightly different from the one I have. I used a blue that had a turquoise undertone, but not on the soft side.
Medium Blue Shade: Afterparty Pressed Eyeshadow by Sugar Pill Cosmetics. I have the Sweet Heart Palette, but the palettes are a better buy than the individuals and unfortunately, it is very hard to find the palettes in stock! That's how pigmented these shadows are! Also, when using Sugar Pill, always use a primer and base because they can sometimes stain the lid -in my experience.
Dark Blue Shade: Rock and Republic in Fiend. Another unfortunate situation is the discontinuation of this line of makeup all together. I really do not know what makes a makeup line get noticed. I have a lip gloss of theirs that I fell in love with. It's my perfect neutral shade, but I won't be spending Ebay auction prices for it tho. I can make me a color!!! Ya Heard! An alternative for this fine product is: NYX Navy Blue Matte Shadow
The transition color and highlight colors have to be skin tone appropriate. Therefore, I am not including information on those shadows here.
