Wedding Make up...... Eyeshadows

I personally think the 'no make up' natural make up looks gorgeous on a bride, using neutral shades that complement the skin tone as the only thing that should get the guests talking is your DRESS! Not your blue kohl eye & neon pink lip.... Here are a Few of my  favourite Neutral palettes.

Nars Blush/Bronzer Trio

It comes in a Stylish zippered compact nylon case with a huge mirror, which is handy for travelling – not a big fan of the design but at least the nylon will be more durable than the usual rubber case which I'm definitely not a fan of!

This trio of Iconic classics together we have NARS Laguna with NARS Orgasm (a shimmery peachy golden pink) & Albatross (a shimmery ivory with a pale gold ) 

This was a ltd Edition, but i have seen a few still available on Amazon & Ebay, Also keep an eye on Blogsales.

NYX - I Dream Of Nevis

I Dream of Nevis is a beautiful neutral palette. I am loving the matte vanilla, shimmery taupe, and the deep brown. The beautiful shades transfer quite nicely onto skin - pigmented and smooth, but with a little fall out.

 

 

First shade: It is a matte vanilla colour, it is very smooth and very pigmented, it is perfect to use as an all-over lid colour as well as a highlight shade.


Second shade: A matte skin-tone with a bit of a greyish undertone to it, it is amazingly pigmented, you could use it as a lid colour or a crease colour too.


Third shade: A frosted taupe colour with flecks of very fine silver shimmer, without it being too obvious as it gives a sheen on the lids rather than a sparkle.


Fourth shade: It is a shimmery silver colour with sparkle and tons of shimmer, it doesn't stick to the lid! It has lots of fallout so my least favourite of the palette.


Fifth shade: A matte deep brown shade, could also be used as an eyeliner, for a more natural look, a lovely warm colour.

All in all a lovely little palette with nice shades to create day or night looks.

Sleek Blush By 3 Palettes - My Collection

I was so glad when Sleek decided to release these palettes as they are great for a night away or holiday as you can take just one palette and get 3 different day & night looks.

There are a couple of shades that are quite similar to the single blush shades, but that doesn't really bother me as it means i don't have to take that one separately, I think Lace is my favourite as the shades are so pretty & i love coral blushes.

Here are the 3 palette's, I have Lace, Sugar & Pumpkin.

Lace. - Crochet - Is a matte Orange toned peach, Guipure - Is a Peachy pink with gold shimmer, Chantilly - Is a matte reddish peach shade.

               

                               

Sugar. - Turbinado - Is a matte red/brown shade, Muscovado - Is a shimmery reddened bronze shade with a touch of plum. Demerara - Is a matte deep red with a browny/terracotta shade.

                                                            

Pumpkin. - Lantern - is a shimmering coral-orange, Squash - is a bright semi matte pink, P Pie - is a pure matte orange.

Sleek Blushes - My Collection.

I only discovered the Brand Sleek about 18 months ago, i thought it was just a cheap, run of the mill brand that would come & go, so i didn't take any interest.
I Thought Sleek were designed for darker skin tones, but i now know that if applied lightly they can look fantastic on any skin types.
But then i heard more & more people talking about their blushers, bronzers & eye palettes that my curiosity got the better of me, i went to Super drug & purchased my first blusher ' Rose Gold' .
I now own several blushes, blush palettes & eye palettes.

Rose Gold - A Beautiful Peach/Coral with Gold shimmer.

Pan-Tao - A Vivid Orange

Sunrise - An amazing Red/brown shade with a bronzy gold shimmer.

Suede - A lovely subtle matte Natural Tan Shade

Honour - A Stunning Bronzed Rose Gold shade.

Pomegranate - A gorgeous Plum/burgundy Pink shade With a sheen

These Blushes are highly pigmented, so a very light hand & minimal powder is needed so the 8 grams of  product should last you are a very long time.

There are 10 permanent blushes available,

But Sleek bring out a couple of limited edition collections throughout the year which usually include a Blush, Eye palette & a lip pout.
