Do you guys think I need more blending?

I wanted a minimum of definition just to lift the eyes a bit.

I used the black Maybelline color tattoo for the shadows, along with all the shades from the Catrice quad in Never Let Me Go! For mascara, I used my Givenchy sample of the Noir Couture, a Kiko highlighter pencil on the inner corner and a liquid eyeliner marker from Essence. For brows, it's a mix of the MUFE aqua brow, a Kiko eyebrow marker and Maybelline Brow drama to make it stay in place.

I used an orange eyeshadow by Kiko for blush and Coralista lipgloss by benefit.

And I used my Mac pro longwear concealer and blended it with the H&m dupe of the beauty blender, wet.

I think that's it.

I'm thinking of buying a nice transition shade to blend this even better. I'm just working with what I have on vacation.

I think that you could use a smidgen more blending on the inside, where the darker shade meets the coppery shade, but the outside is fine so leave that alone :)

I think your eyes look gorgeous! And I don't know if it's just me, or the picture, but it looks like your lipgloss is a bit untidy. All the colors suit you so well! :)

Haha excuse my expression but here it is.

Not crazy about these eyeshadows, I have to say. the shimmer isn't finely milled at all and there's lots of shimmery fallout. Do you know by any chance how to get it off my cheeks? It just wants to stay there it seems!

Yeah Jenny, my lips are my enemy! in the picture there's a big shadow hovering over them and I have a little bitty chickenpox scar lol. I can show you how it looks normally :) Really awkward angle lol!

Maybe I need some lip liner to define those edges! Don't have one here though.. :( I may buy one today, just got into Split, Croatia!

I always use tape to pick up glitter fallout :) be gentle and stick it to your hand first so you don't pull your skin and get wrinkles.

No problem :) glitter fallout is an unfortunate part of my life.

Lol yeah I think it might've been that scar which made me think that! I actually started using lip liner recently and it does seem to make a difference. I really underestimated it :D.

Lol! I think I may use this palette again only with a good primer..! And thank you Jenny so much for the compliments :) they're much appreciated!

Aw Saskia, thank you! My dad gave them to me lol - he's got deer lashes!! But this mascara is truly amazing. only thing, I can't justify the price because mascara runs out quickly!

Saskia C.

Oh, you're very lucky with that. :) Just looked up the price, it is more on the pricy side indeed!

Yeah...I received it as a sample from Sephora online.. that really sucks 'cause now I'm in love and can't buy it! lol.

For fallout use a fan brush or some scotch tape but this is a gorgeous look! and your eyebrows are on point<3.
