Smashbox Eye Illusion in Action: Taking a Smokey Purple Eye to the Next Level - Makeup and Beauty Blog
Haaay, homeskillet. How goes information technology? I'1000 a little stunned that it's actually Friday. This week flew by so fast, didn't it? No complaints hither, though. 🙂
I'chiliad excited considering I take a pre-birthday spa date scheduled for tomorrow in which I hope to take/have my very first mud bathroom. Yup, nosotros'll see how it goes…whether information technology turns out to be gross or cool (considering there'due south a fine line, right?). Wish me luck!
This morning I wanted to experiment a little more with Smashbox's Eye Illusion.
What is Smashbox Eye Illusion?
It's a compact with a trio of sheer, iridescent eyeshadows in blueish, gold and pink. When layered on top of other eyeshadows and liners, the colors alter the original hues and impart a subtle sheen/smoothen. Price: $28.
Today I gave it a try with what would accept been a plain jane daytime smokey purple center, shooting for something a petty more than exciting and special.
I started by priming my lids with a base of operations of Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden (a matte nude), following it upward with Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Rockstar (a deep plummy purple) practical to the waterlines, lid and just barely into the crease.
Where'southward the waterline?
The waterline is the small 2mm (or thereabouts) strip of peel that extends from where the eyelashes sprout from the eyelid toward the centre itself, and it exists on both the tiptop and lesser eyelids.
And then, with the MAC 217 (or any other fluffy domed eyeshadow brush), I smudged out the edges, drawing the liner into the crease and feathering out in a gradient of color.
Now here's where information technology gets cool
With the blue and gold shades from Eye Illusion, I took Rockstar to the next level. Using the same eyeshadow brush, I swept the blue iridescent shade from the trio directly on top of the purple liner, all the manner up to the forehead os.
And then, with the MAC 219 pencil castor, I smudged the gilded along the lower lash line.
At that place it is! An like shooting fish in a barrel look with just enough drama for a dejeuner date. 🙂
Colors used in this wait from left: Urban Disuse 24/vii Glide-On Eye Pencil in Rockstar, Smashbox Centre Illusion in bluish sheen, Smashbox Eye Illusion in gold sheen, Urban Decay Blush in Hookup (from the Face Case palette), Smashbox Photo Stop Lipstick in Sweet, Smashbox Lip Enhancing gloss in Protege
You absolutely wouldn't have to use the same products I did hither to get the same basic effect. You could even dupe it with a drugstore liner like deep imperial Hard Candy Geisha, or yous could go with MAC and try something like a MAC Blackface Stick or a MAC Pearl Glide Liner. I bet there are quite a few regal foam shadows that would also piece of work, likewise.
One more thing for the bargain huntresses — MBB readers Natasha, Beth and Vonvon (thank you, ladies!) suggested a dupe for Middle Illusion itself, a upkeep alternative past E.50. F. called Eye Transformer, and instead of three shades it comes with iv! For a mere $3!
Hope your Friday'southward chugging along. Allow me know what you're up to!
Your friendly neighborhood beauty aficionado,
Karen
