How y'all doing? Did you miss me? Probably not. Neither did my mother.
So! We were gonna discuss eyeshadows, innit? Eyeshadows come in 3 different textures, matte, sheen and frost.Let's take a closer look at sheen and frost finishes, shall we?
A selection of my golden-toned eyeshadows. From clockwise: Too Faced e/s, Paula Dorf, Nouba, Bobbi Brown, Nouba again, Urban Decay, MAC, Yaby, Ushas, Stila palette and one last Urban Decay.
I swatched a few out of these, just to show the difference in texture.
In general, if you have mature skin, or you want to wear gold in a soft manner that doesn't scream lots of makeup, go for the brands I listed as sheen (sh), as they're prettier and more forgiving. But if you want eyes that pop from a mile away or it's nighttime and you're out to play, go for the heavier golds listed as frosts (all the ones to the right. See how they look like bling. I did a shoot on these and there's an article with a how-to. Will let you know once it's out.
By the way, you can buy almost all these eyeshadows in Nigeria, that Stila palette (which is original), is on sale for N 1,000. And I know MAC has lots like Goldmine and more, so check out their stores.
Till later.
