Here are two simple eye looks done with the warmer shades in the Sleek Makeup Oh So Special Eyeshadow Palette: Organza, Ribbon, Gift Basket, Pamper, Gateau. I call them sunset colours. :)
I blended everything over one another, so there’s no breakdown in application, sorry.
I did change up the look by adding a black liner on the bottom lash line. I don’t quite like it – it’s too dramatic for an already-dramatic look but it does have shades of Cleopatra!
I only did half my face. These days, I’m grateful for any time I get to play with makeup!
Besides the Sleek palette, I used:
- The Body Shop Moisture White Shiso BB Cream – The coverage is excellent but it looks masky on me, especially in the second photo
- Anna Sui Loose Powder Compact – I set the BB cream lightly with this translucent powder
- Canmake in 10 Sweet Orange – A nice base for the blushes
- Sleek Makeup Blush in Aruba – A little is all I needed, given its strong tone
- Canmake Cheek & Cheek in 02 Rose Tiara – Aruba was too yellow, so I cooled it with this blush duo
- Tony Moly Shimmer Lover Cube in 05 Gold – I used this as a gentle cheek highlight
- Clarins Colour Quench Lip Balm in 04 Raspberry Smoothie – A cheery hue that complemented the eye and cheek colours well
It’s not pictured here but I used Heavy Rotation Perfect Liquid Liner, layered with the black shadow in the palette, for the winged liner.
It’s hard to use colors like this but you did it so well.
Hi Marcia,
These colours are quite wearable, really! The salmon and the duo-chromed pink-gold are particularly pretty.
Mag,
what do u use on the eyebrow? it looks very natural on the pic.
Hi Josephine,
I can’t remember what I used but it might have been a Shu Uemura Hard Pencil or a Skinfood brow pencil, topped with brow powder from a Tony Moly brow palette.
You know, I like the more dramatic one … hee hee! I have yet to open my palette but honestly, I suddenly like pinks on my outer crease (towards my highlight) – I find it just lends such a soft, gentle look (I hear my deep blues and bright greens moaning in jealousy) :P
Hey Kas,
The second look is more you, am sure! You look great with pinks in the crease. :)
