Winged glitter eyeliner

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I love doing my make-up for parties! This is quite a simple party make-up look, but I’m obsessed with it. I love the silver glitter winged eyeliner, and you can wear any lip colour with this eye make-up. I went with a red lip to match my dress.

First impressions: Essence In Love With Rose eyeshadow box

DSC_5123

One of my sisters speaks highly about Essence eye shadows. More specifically the single eye shadows that you can put in a custom palette, and I thought about trying those out, but then I saw some new eye shadow palettes from their Trend Factory collection, and I chose to try out the one called In Love With Rose which is number 02 & Happily Ever After.

First impressions

When you swatch the shadows with your fingers, the pigmentation seems decent, but as you can see that pigmentation doesn’t translate on to the eyelids; at least not with the lighter shades. They do blend out nicely though, and if you like a more subtle eye shadow look, these are very pretty. But be careful with the shimmery shades, because they have some fall out. The lasting power of the shadows were very good; I took the first picture right after applying my make-up and the second picture 12,5 hours later, and the eye shadows hadn’t changed much at all. Because I like pigmented eye shadows, I probably wouldn’t buy any more of these types of palettes from Essence, but I’m still curious about their single eye shadows, and I might try those out to see if the formula is different.

Lilac dream

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. This lip colour is incredible; it’s probably my new favourite purple lipstick. It’s such a wearable lilac shade due to the grey undertone.

Bright and colourful

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. The colour scheme of the outfit was quite neutral, so I decided to wear bright and colourful make-up. This is the easiest kind of eye look you can do; I’m just wearing a yellow eye shadow all over the lid, and then I highlighted the inner corner and brow bone.

Small collective make-up haul

DSC_5111DSC_5114DSC_5123

I haven’t bought much new make-up lately, but when Beautybay.com had a sale a little while back, I finally bought the Jeffree Star Velour liquid lipstick in the shade Prom Night, which has been on my wishlist for absolute ages. I also decided to try out one of his lip scrubs and chose the Mojito scent/flavour. I will make a first impressions post on it at some point. And then I recently saw some new eye shadow palettes at the Essence display at my local supermarket, and I thought I would try one out. I will also be posting my first impressions on this palette another time.
