Dat Makeup Life
I love green eyeshadow. I don’t consider it to be an everyday color but I will still collect all the green shadows like a racoon collects shiny objects
My latest acquisition is the Juvia’s Place Rebel Quad
The Quad is actually much darker in real life and not having a base or crease color stumped me at first.
I used Limone Squeezy from the Colourpop Limoncello to use a base/crease color.
What are you thoughts on this color story? Is it something you’d pick up if you don’t already have it?
I’ve been pretty good about not making too many makeup purchases this year but I could not resist the Lust for Dusk palette
The dusk colors really appealed to me and…I hadn’t purchased a new palette in a bit, haha.
I love the subtle colors and the shimmer/metallics. I was most excited to see Miser (used on lid in this look) make a comeback in this palette (first available in LE Fortune palette).
In order to make the lid shade pop I use the NYX glitter primer.
The forumla does not disappoint, it’s easy to apply and blend. I’m excited to post more looks using this palette.
What do you think about this palette?
Not sure if the previous Colourpop palette posts count but I’m calling this V1 because I’m using shadows I’ve depotted and placed into one large palette.
This is the x-large palette I used to combine several of my small Colourpop palettes. It wasn’t an easy decision, especially since most of my Colourpop impulse buys are due to the packaging, but I love being able to see all my options.
I did have to label the shadows myself and at some point I stopped including what palette they were from but it is easy to Google the shadow name and see what palette it was in.
Shadows used :
The highlighter is a recent Jaclyn Cosmetics loose highlighters and the bronzer is from the Tarte Ave Princess palette.
How do you feel about depotting palettes?
I’m not sure what it is about the brand but whenever Violet Voss comes out with a palette I need it.
I managed to hold off on the Flamingo Palette until a couple of months ago when it was on sale through Boxycharm (Violet Voss’s shipping is OUTRAGEOUS). Even then it took me this long to use the palette.
I’ve become a lot more comfortable with color over this last year so I was eager to use Beach Ball.
I started with Lemonade, added Beach Ball then tried to darken with Sandals because I wasn’t feeling confident enough to pull off the green.
I immediately regretted adding Sandals but I kept going and added Tidal Wave, over NYX glitter primer. Once Tidal Wave was down I darkened the outer third with Beach Ball again and loved the result.
I have to remind myself to trust the process and I’m so glad I stuck with this look!
How do you feel about using color in your look, makeup or clothes?
