Makeup Play #4: All Dat Drama!?!

Hello everyone!

This past week, I posted a poll to my IG story, asking if I should post the details of my latest Instagram post (see below) here on my blog and the answer was Yes!
Via my Instgram - @ladyjpsych
I'm here today, to break down this look. However, there will be no tutorial or demonstration of this look via video, but I do hope that you still enjoy this post and product breakdown.

Eyes

The star of this look is....(imaginary drum roll!)... L.A Colors Sweet!Sixteen Eyeshadow Palette in Brave.
I will do a full review of this palette at the end of November as I am still playing around and experimenting with the different colours.


This palette provided the majority of the eye look, with the exception of the lid colour..
While there is no video, I have done a bit of a breakdown of the eyeshadows used from the palette, and where they were placed on the eye.

Awkwardly Edited Photo - L.A. Colors Sweet!Sixteen Palette in Brave
N.B. - The numbers correspond with the respective colours, and not the order in which they were applied.

BASE: I used colour #14 as my all over base to set my Urban Decay Primer Potion, and I mixed colours #15 and #16 as my transition shades.

CREASE: Colours #7 and #12 were used in the crease, and they were blended out with colour #5.

OUTER CORNER: Colours #9 and then #4, where used to add depth and smokiness to the outer corner. I also mixed in a bit of "Rebel" from the Tartlette in Bloom Palette, to enhance the smokiness with some warmth.

LID: I'm wearing Makeup Geek's Pigment in Utopia on top of a glitter glue. My eyes are hooded so without a glitter glue, pigments, and shimmer tend to travel beyond where I typically place them.
In order to blend the pigment with the eyeshadows, I used colour #6 which is very similar in colour to Utopia, and it allowed for a seamless transition from lid colour to outer corner.

LOWER LASH LINE: I smudged L'Oreal Silkissime Eyeliner in Black, with colour #9, and "Rebel" from the Tartlette in Bloom Palette, for smokey definition to finish off the eyeshadow look.
