When my schedule is hectic I tend to lean on things that I know will work for me. In times of great stress, I find myself listening to the same songs on my iPod, wearing outfits that are no-brainers, and using makeup that is tried and true! So this summer I've attempted to branch out a little more with some products I don't use or experiment with as much. This is a "palette" if you will that
sephora.com recommended to me based on my profile. It claimed that these shadows would make my blue eyes pop, so being the sucker that I am I bought it and have had it for a while but rarely use it. It's one that can be used dry or wet, so I tried it wet this time. I've done this in the past, but wanted to see if it would hold up on such a humid day.
Just moments after application:
Hours later, after much running around in the humid heat:
I'd say it held up pretty well! Please forgive the fly-away hairs!
I first applied Urban Decay Primer Potion and then sprayed my clean brushes with water and then dipped into the shadows carefully to not mix them. (I have also used Palladio Herbal Eyeshadow Primer before. Just use some kind of primer!) I applied the taupe shade on my lid and then the pink from my crease to eyebrows. Lastly I used the purple as a crease color. Once it was dry, I was able to blend it better and I think I even applied a little more in areas I needed it. It's very shimmery and yet very warm. It might be the sucker talking, but I think it makes my blues eye pop!
