It's been forever since I've done a post! Darn life! Here are a couple of quick reviews of some Smashbox eyeshadow trios I've come to own.
The first trio is 'Hot Date.' I acquired this eyeshadow from a wonderful popple who was doing some spring cleaning :D This trio contains a shimmery golden champagne, a light eggplant with microglitter, and a dark eggplant cream liner. I use this trio all the time, but the following picture isn't of my eyes. One of my darling friends let me do her eyeshadow, and this trio went perfect with her eye color and skin tone. However, I thought the golden champagne didn't match her skin as well as the champagne shadow 'Sin' by Urban Decay. After covering her entire lid in eye-primer potion and a light layer of Sin, I used a crease brush to slowly start layering the light eggplant on her outer crease. As I added more color, I kept blending it towards the middle of her eye - just a little bit at a time. Once I had the desired color, I used an angled liner brush to line her eyes with the cream eggplant liner.
Falling in love with this trio [and another that was sent, which I'll post about later :) ] I just had to purchase another! The 'Twilight' trio caught my eye because of the shimmery silver, but actually use the matte black to line my eyes with every day! In the following pictures, I started off with eye primer potion and light layer of the shimmery silver over the entire lid. To make the black shimmery, I lightly swirled my crease brush in the silver before swirling it in the black. I applied this at the outer corner of my eye and blended inward. Then I used a smudge brush to apply a light, silver lining on my lower lash line. To finish off, I lined with a liquid liner and two coats of mascara!
Fabulous review and lovely looks!!!
I am so envious of your fabulous blending skills!!!
