Funny enough, it only took two glittery eyeshadows to make it more wearable!

Using two glittery eyeshadows, Urban Decay’s most hated Midnight Cowboy Rides Again and MAC’s Mythology eyeshadow, two glittery messes, was what made me feel good about this gorgeous coral Paintpot.

Products used:

  • UDPP
  • MAC Paintpot in Coral Crepe (on lid)
  • Urban Decay’s Midnight Cowboy Rides Again eyeshadow (inner third of lid)
  • MAC Eyeshadows in Mythology (outer third), Copperplate (brows), Blanc Type (highlight)
  • MAC Fluidline in Rich Ground (upper and lower lashline)
  • MAC Plushlash mascara

Do you have any makeup you find hard to wear? Have you found a solution for it yet?

I’ve never understood what was so great about Wedge, from MAC. Until now, that is. Oh my, for a shade that looks so blah in the pan, it’s such a gorgeous neutral light brown. I’ve found it works wonderful in the crease, and even on the lid too!

Today’s look is just a very simple defined eye look.

Products used:

  • UDPP
  • MAC Paintpot in Painterly
  • MAC Eyeshadows in Wedge (crease), Blanc Type (highlight), Copperplate (brows), Brun (lower lashline)
  • Eyeko Grafitti Eyeliner pen in brown
  • MAC Plushlash mascara

I paired it with Blankety lipstick:)

Have you tried Wedge? What’s your favourite neutral eyeshadow?

No base or top coat!

I thought I had a dupe to this shade, and it does look quite similar. The only real difference is Depend number 160, on my ring finger, is shinier. If you were to put a top coat on Pool Party, it would also be shiny – so go look in your closet! If you live in Scandinavia, certainly Depend is much easier to come by than China Glaze is (sigh).

It really does annoy me to no end that I failed to blend out Modelette on the right here. You live and learn, right? :)

After adding Lucky pencil on waterline:

I so love this colour eyeliner, a shimmery golden copper. When I think about it, I find I have it in three forms, pencil (Urban Decay 24/7 Liner in Lucky), liquid (Urban Decay Liquid Liner in Lucky) and gel (MAC Fluidline Rich Ground)

Products used:

  • UDPP
  • MAC Eyeshadows in Espresso (brows and lower lid and lash line), Modelette (crease), Blanc Type (highlight)
  • NARS Eyeshadow duo in Jezebel (reddish brown on middle lid)
  • Urban Decay Liquid Liner in Lucky (upper lashline)
  • Urban Decay 24/7 Liner in Lucky (waterline)
  • MAC Plushlash mascara

What do you find most difficult when applying eyeshadow?

- For me it’s getting both eyes to look the same and blending the eyeshadows. We’ll get there in the end, girls!

I’m trying to pretend like I own it ;) I already have Half Baked in Book of Shadows II, so I decided to pair it with a plum. Wearing a shimmery eyeshadow in the crease is different, but I like a little bit of different every now and then :)

Products used:

  • UDPP
  • MAC Eyeshadows in Sketch (lower lid and lower lashline), Wedge (crease), Blanc Type (highlight), Copperplate (brows)
  • Urban Decay eyeshadow in Half Baked (upper lid and crease)
  • Urban Decay 24/7 liners in Eldorado (inner waterline) and Rockstar (outer waterline)
  • MAC Plushlash mascara

Are you able to resist the Naked palette hype? And do you already own any of the shades?
