Okay, I admit it, I didn't wanna name it the generic "Smokey Silver blah blah" title! And this is the last Sephora LOTD theme that I'm featuring as I'll not be working there anymore after this Friday. It's a complicated feeling, kinda like sweet and sour pork (sorry, non Muslim here) but more on that later! Onto the pictures!
Look 1
Ahh, the conventional silver on the lids and black on the outer V method. Contacts and fake lashes gave the look even more oomph.
I tried using my black Aqua Cream on the outer V here, but I realized that it cannot be picked up by a crease brush (or maybe my brush quality is just plain bad). And also due to its quick setting time, it was difficult to contour the outer V so I gave up and used a random shimmery black instead. After checking with the MUFE beauty advisor, she said that it's better to use a firm and flat brush to sweep up the cream, as there's no way a fluffy contour brush would pick up the colour. But it's difficult to contour with a flat brush, gawd! x___x
Look 2
Sorry for the blank look on my face, hah, I was initially going for the mysterious gaze pose! FML, whatever.
For this look, I used my finger to blend my black Aqua Cream all over my eyelids as a base, then pat on silver e/s on the inner V. The Aqua Cream is a dream to use and with my UDPP, it stays in place and vibrant the whole day. <3 I know the 2 looks look very similar in these pictures, but there are subtle differences. Look 2 definitely looks more smokey and dark, while Look 1 is brighter and more glam.
I tried doing Sarah's Kim Kardashian silver smokey eye, which was featured a while back on her blog, but it looked a bit weird and messy on me. Maybe because it was my first time using her technique and I didn't do it very well, or maybe because I dreadfully lack a crease/double lid, so no pictures for that.
I'm going to do a reflection entry soon on my time spent in Sephora and the stuff I learnt, so definitely looking forward to ranting on that part. Also, thanks to all the people who has joined my Mario Badescu mini giveaway, I appreciate all your efforts, keep the entries coming in!!! Will talk to you guys soon, tootles~
