Illamasqua Week - FOTD 3

 

Face: avon tinted moisturiser, Illamasqua Loose Powder in LP005, Illamasqua powder eyeshadow in Lick (as blush)

Lips: Illamasqua Intense Lipgloss in Mistress
Eyes: Illamasqua cream eyeshadows in Stir, Midas and Outcast.


I've realised after your comments on my last post that you're right, i've never found a cream eyeshadow that doesn't crease! So really my complaints about the Illamasqua cream shadows, while justified, are no worse than any others. I'm going to try using these as a base for powder shadows (the thought hadn't occurred to me because i am thick) and continue using them on the browbone and as eyeliner, just not as a eyeshadow on their own.

Some more exciting and original looks will be coming shortly, i feel i've been playing it too safe lately and i want to give you guys a good idea of some more avant-garde looks you can make with Illamasqua.

    Pretty :) I'm sure you can think of some really creative things to do with the cream eyeshadows! I think it'd be a shame only to use them as a base, they are expensive, but you have lots of non-creasing face areas!

    I love that touch of yellow...works really well on your skin tone :)

    And please tell me you're wearing falsies, otherwise I'm going to be epically jealous of your eyelashes XD

    RaeRae:
    You're right, i should give them a go for some avant-garde looks or as lip or cheek colours :D

    Simone:
    Thank you! It's odd i think i look nice with yellow eyeshadows, but i look terrible in yellow clothes!
    And i'm sorry but the lashes are all mine :P

    As always, I LOVE your eyelashes! I love how you look in yellow too! And reading your comment above, well, I HATE orange clothing on me. Or red orange. Or just orangey stuff. But i like orangey bronzey shadows... hmm...

    Y: Thank you :) It's weird, i guess just a little bit of orange (or in my case yellow) can look fine, but if we wear big amounts of it as clothes it makes our skintones look worse. Odd though!

    SilhouetteScreams:
    I just love alll the lipgloss colours *__*
    I guess they still are eyeshadows, just not very effective ones :P
