Sleek i-Divine Original Eye Shadow Palette, Storm Palette, Sunset Palette |
As promised, here are the swatches of the remaining three palettes from my huge Sleek Makeup haul. For the record, the husband was like WTF that's a lot of makeup at once... I know, I know! But, with colors this sumptuous, I don't regret it a bit! This is playing with makeup at its best.
To my knowledge these three palettes' shades don't have individual names (the clear plastic inserts were blank). That makes it a little harder to use these for EOTD, no?
|
Original Palette. The only matte shade is the black and it needs to be layered a lot, creating potential mess. |
|
Storm Palette. My second favorite of the haul (#1 is the Monaco Palette). It has three matte shades: the light brown, third from the top left, and the darker brown and black which are the bottom two from the right. |
|
Sunset Palette. Again, the black is the only matte shade but this one seems improved from the Original Palette (could be a fluke). |
I did an EOTD using the Storm Palette because it is gorgeous and versatile. I originally intended to do something like I'd wear on a daily basis but it quickly became a smoky defined crease because I couldn't resist amping it up.
|
With a slanted liner brush, I applied the dark forest green to my entire top lashline and 1/3 of the bottom outside lashline. |
|
The light matte brown is across my entire lid, with a layered crease: first, I put the darker matte brown in the crease and outer v, followed by the shimmery dark brown. Lastly I lightly darkened it using the metallic gunmetal shade. The inner crease was looking neglected so I used the shimmery light brown (about the same as the matte light brown) to define it and draw in some light. |
|
The lightest shimmer shade was used as inner corner and browbone highlight. This made me remember how much I dislike shimmery browbone highlight and I wish the palette had a lighter matte color with which to highlight the browbone. |
|
Top lashes curled and coated with Makeup Forever Smoky Lash mascara. Bottom lashes coated with Clinique Bottom Lash mascara. |
|
I only used two brushes: Ecotools liner brush $6, and E.L.F. Studio Contour Brush $3. I also swatched using the E.L.F. brush, and a big thanks to Steph for informing the beauty community about this great bargain synthetic brush! |
|
All swatches and this EOTD were over Too Faced Shadow Insurance. |
|
I also tried to cover up my currently hideous dark circles using Revlon Age Defying Spa Concealer 001. Mostly success ;) |
|
If anybody can suggest a brow tamer that doesn't feel like sticky wax or jizzy mascara, please let me know because as you can see, my brows need to be wrangled! |
Thanks for stopping by and please have a relaxing Sunday!
I still can't decide which one is my favorite between the Original and the Storm palette. Great EOTD!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gaby! Storm has more neutrals and feels more Fall-ready, but Original has lots of color and shimmer. If you've got the UD Naked Palette or something like it, Original might better round out your collection, imho :)
ReplyDeleteWow, all the shadows are so pigmented! I love your nude and charcoal eotd.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dovey :) It's something I'd actually wear in public.
