LFI: Kaleidoscope

Hello, my Pretties! I have a new post for you today. Yay!

Today's post is one kind of post I haven't done at all lately. Today is a Look For Inspiration! And it's a colorful one too.


Ingredients:
NYX Eyeshadow Base in White
Clinique Lash Doubling Mascara in Black
Avon Color Trend Eyeliner in Midnight Blue
Avon Precision Glimmer Powder Eyeshadow in Limestone
Avon Precision Glimmer Powder Eyeshadow in Classic Fit
Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush Sparkling Shadow in Goldblinger
Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush Luminous Shadow in Tons o' Plum

Very handy and easy to use applicators built into the wand.

Swatches.

Pretty! Love the finished look.

I applied NYX Eyeshadow Base in White all over from lid to brow bone so I didn't apply a brow high light. I liked the look of the base alone as a high light.

Limestone went on the lid, starting at the inner corner to a little past half way. About 2/3 of the lid was done in Limestone. Classic Fit was then applied to the outer remaining lid, about 1/3 of the lid. The two colors were then blended together with my fingertip to diffuse the harsh line where the two different colors met.

Tons o' Plum graced about 3/4 of the lower lash line. Goldblinger was applied to the inner corner and remaining 1/4 of the lower lash line.

Along the waterline, I applied the Avon Color Trend Eyeliner in Midnight Blue.


I did not use any brushes to create this look...
only my fingertips.

As you can see, I did not apply a liner to the upper lash line. I know it would have looked great with it but I thought the look was complete without it.


The two coats of the Clinique Lash Doubling Mascara was more than enough to make my eyes appear bright and big.

My oh my, what eyeshadow can do for your eyes!

Well, there you go, my dears. I do hope that this is something you like. I, personally, love this look. I was debating what colors to use, I could not think of anything to do. I just went along with my gut. I didn't have anything planned out. It was more of, "Let's see what happens," type of look.

I will say it again, I like it. A lot!

Until next time, my Pretties. Stay beautiful inside and out.

Luv & Luk,
--L.

  3. @Miss Tapia, thank you! First time wearing bright colors in a long time. I never wear makeup anymore and if I do, it's a neutral look because it's faster :)

    @Destinee, thank you! These are the only VS shadows that I have except for one other but I can't remember what it's called. It's like a pigment in a jar. Very pretty too. These VS shadows are so smooth and sparkle a ton!

    @Amber, thank you, my dear. And yes, I am doing well. I've been flying under the radar as of late but it's all good. How are you doing, lovlie? I bet you are still a giddy newlywed. Wow, I'm so happy for you!!

  4. @Purple Eye Diamond, LOL. Mine is so old! I've had it forever and never use it. I do have some of their other colors as well. I'd love to see your version of this look. You can pull off bright eyes so well, my dear. :)

  5. @jbrobeck, I just got this base recently and have used it about 4 times and I love it. I don't use it for all my looks, just the bright eyeshadow ones. I highly recommend it. I think you will like it too. Thanks for stopping by!
