All the colors are the same except for placement. I like this a lot. The first day and today are my faves so far, though I might have liked yesterday's better, if I'd had the crease a little less dark.
EYES: AL
Crease: Persephone -- this went on nicely today
Inner Corners: Burnt Roses
Outer Corners and dry lined under eye: Strawberry Despair -- you can really see how great this looks drylined in this picture -- it ties together the upper and lower parts of my eye and extends the look of my eye, even if I did wet line the liner on the lower eyes.
Black Cherry Liner applied tight lined top and wet lined lower with the back end of the brush, then a bit of the brush on top lid to smudge it out some.
Lips: NYX Electra + AL hothothot (glitter) + clear gloss on top (see more at my LOTD post)
Again, I used La Prairie sunscreen and used Avon Majik primer (because it is matte) to kill the sheerness. I think it works good together. I'm in the process of using up the LP, then I'll use the Neutragena that I like so much.
Today I used a strong/stiffer Guerlain brush (made to be used with Meteorites products) with the Hyaluronic powder. I pressed really, really hard to get any product up, but I was happier with the look. I'd tried this brush before, using it normally (vs. pressing hard) and I couldn't tell if it was picking up any product, if it was only the brush itself that was modifying the look of my makeup.
What do you think?
Which of the three days is your fave? I love these colors! Oh! and these have not irritated my eyelids in the least, whoo hooo! because I want to wear them a lot.
