The Contestant and Mini Review:
E.L.F 100 Piece Eyeshadow Palette
So I recently purchased the E.L.F. 100 color eyeshadow palette after falling in love with their $1 eyeshadow I reviewed over
here. The feel of the eyeshadow in this palette is exactly like the $1 eyeshadow I bought from them, so if you are interested in that, check out the full review! I've been watching a lot of eyeshadow tutorials in the past week and so tonight, after spending a lazy day making crafts, I decided to play with my new palette. I'm pretty happy with it, although I wish it had more bright colors (most are toned down colors or browns and tans), but all in all it was worth the $10. I have a lot to chose from for future playing around in any case. The palette includes a small mirror (in the lid), and two cheap makeup sponge-thingies. I really hate my makeup brushes though, so I ended up using the sponges.
Play Time!
I used my awesome new palette to play around a bit this evening. I'm not very creative, especially when it comes to makeup (read: same black wingtip eyeliner every day), so I chose a basic watery color scheme and just messed around. I used what I thought was a bright greenish tone all over the lid (I'm a bit colorblind, so it might not have been!), and then used a bright teal along the crease and up along the wingtip portion of the eyeliner. I blended this towards my brows. Then I took the boldest blue and smudged it into the very outer edges of the crease. A small bit of a light pinkish white was smudged on my inner eye to help make everything pop!
It's a bit bolder and larger than my usual everyday makeup, but I could see myself doing something like it again! I also had some light pink lipstick that I picked up at the same time as the palette that I tried on earlier today for an endurance test. I don't think it fits the eye makeup, but whatever!
