Illamasqua Week - FOTD 5




Face:
Cargo foundation, Collection 2000 illuminate and perfect concealer, Illamasqua Illuminator in Fondle, Illamasqua Liquid Metal in Enrapture.

Eyes:
Illamasqua powder eyeshadow in Dizzy, Illamasqua Illuminators in Fondle and Odyssey, Illamasqua Liquid Metal in Enrapture and Solstice, Too Faced Lash Injection Mascara.

Lips: Illamasqua Liquid Metals in Solstice and Enrapture.
Today i went for a warm goldy-bronzey look. I tried to contour my cheeks a little using the liquid metal in Enrapture, is it noticeable at all?
First i did my skin as usual but didn't use any powder (all of my brushes and puffs are filthy so i did this look using just my fingers, i don't think i did too badly considering!) then used Illamasqua Illuminator in Fondle as a blush, getting a small drop on my finger and putting it on the apple of my cheek, then sweeping it up my cheekbone to my hairline, fading it out as i went. Then i took a tiny amount of Illamasqua Liquid Metal in Enrapture and applied it sheerly under the line of blush i'd put on, blending it down to my jawline. For my eyes i popped a bit of Illamasqua powder eyeshadow in Dizzy over my crease, heavier at the inner corner and put a bit of Fondle on top of that. I then used the Illuminator in Odyssey on my browbone and at the inner corner of my eyes. Then i put Enrapture all over my eyelid, blending it into Dizzy and a small amount of Liquid Metal in Solstice in the inner 3rd of the eye. I finished it off with just a very light coat of mascara on my upper lids and patted a bit of Enrapture over my eyebrows. Finally for my lips i simply covered my lips with Solstice and then tapped a small amount of Enrapture into the middle of the lower lip.

  1. Ooh could you do a full product review on the Liquid Metals? I want them but I'm not sure about them in terms of wear/smudging/fallout etc
    Also, I never believed anyone could pull off pink eyeshadow until I saw your FOTDs
