This second look with the Danessa Myricks Lightwork 4 Palette was an experiment to see how the Aqua Chrome shade Aura would work used as a base. I mainly wanted to know if it would hold up in the crease and if I would be able to apply other powder shadows over top without ruining it.
Here is my first dive into the Danessa Myricks Lightwork 4 Palette. For this look, I paired it with the ColourPop So Jaded Palette because I wanted some colorful mattes to build some sort of “base look” with.
Patrick Ta Crème Foundation & Finishing Powder Duo is a two-in-one product containing a medium coverage foundation and a translucent, natural-finish powder. It retails for $52, contains 0.42 oz of foundation (less than half of a standard size liquid foundation), 0.32 oz of powder, and comes in 24 shades.
Danessa Myricks Lightwork 4 is a limited edition, 14-pan palette containing several formulas of high impact color that can be used on the face and eyes.
The Covergirl Easy Breezy Brow Ink Pen is a dual-ended felt tip brow product and spoolie available for around $10 and comes in 4 shades. It is supposed to be able to create fine hairlike strokes and be smudge resistant.
The ABH Nouveau Palette contains 12 shades of mostly neutral eyeshadows and pressed pigments. They are not all your typical neutral browns, though some are, and could compliment an existing collection of neutral shadows.
Here’s a simple, lighter neutral look with the ABH Nouveau Palette that isn’t brown-based. It’s nice to have an option like this that is still “wearable” but isn’t the same old thing.
The ABH Nouveau palette generally leans warm-toned but I managed to eek out a cool-toned look from it here. I wanted to see what that lavender would look like next to the blue in Peacock. Using it previously, the blue sheen wasn’t very strong, so this time I used it over a sticky base.
What to call this? Metallic grunge? I started this look out wanting to use Liberty (the matte olive green) over a larger area so it would be more visible than how I’ve previously used it, and also to use it alone without the help of a transition shade.
