It’s been a while since I’ve felt a look came out a failure. It’s not terrible but it wasn’t what I intended to do. What I had in mind was based on some flowers with a purplish pink center that faded into a delicate and striking cobalt blue around the edges.
This was an entirely unplanned look and so I did not initially film it but later decided to. This look and the last one I posted have been so frustrating for me to edit and make content out of. I usually focus on one palette at a time which tends to be much more straightforward.
I wanted to do another inspired look. This time it was a very random plant I walked by with almost blindingly bright pink flowers. I wondered if I had anything that shade of pink and decided to snap a pic to reference and look through my collection when I got home.
An actual all matte look with the Smashbox Desert Palette. This is not really a creative or very involved look and I wasn’t sure I really wanted to share it because of that. I did this because I wanted to use the two deeper matte shades over a larger part of the lid to see how they worked.
Another look with the Smashbox Desert Palette. In the first look I only used the matte green shade as liner and I wanted to use it again in a way that required blending to see how it would perform.
I decided to pull out my Smashbox Desert Palette and use it to create this mostly matte, warm eyeshadow look.
For the second look with the Natasha Denona Mini Gold Palette, I wanted to do something easier and more approachable.
Whenever I’ve used the Natasha Denona Mini Gold Palette in the past, I’ve always seemed to create the same safe kinds of looks with it and I wanted to try something different with it.
