I love a traditional smokey eye but silver and black eyeshadow just doesn't suit my colouring. Since I'm so fair I always like to inject some colour into my makeup so I like to use colours for smokey eyes. Last weekend my mum needed help picking out new makeup at MAC and since I'm spoiled she let me pick out a few things. I choose Blackberry and Seedy Pearl eyeshadows as they stood out the most to me.
Blackerry is a matte shade and is super pigmented. Despite it's name it's not very dark so it's suitable for both a lid colour and a crease colour for fair skin. Seedy Pearl is a frost finish and is admittedly not very pigmented but it is easy to build up. I imagine these eyeshadows would look great under a black base but alone they're perfect and subtle for everyday wear.
Love your lip colour here, your makeup also looks so flawless and natural!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sam :)
DeleteYou look so pretty here, and wow your hair is nice. I am still trying to master the smokey eye, I bought the new naked palette and had a go with it but ended up looking like I had a black eye, not ideal!

ReplyDeleteThanks Hannah :) It's actually kind of purpley!
DeleteLove this look, something I would definitely go for:)
ReplyDeletePretty! I prefer browns compared to blacks too! I feel like brown is so much more flattering and natural ... on everybody :)
ReplyDeleteBlackberry sounds scary but looks WONDERFUL - I like a drastic (Black) smokey eye on me now and then. But I think this might look even better, great choice of colors! And you are spoiled :)
ReplyDeleteBlackberry looks gorgeous! Like Trax but without the shimmer. Is that a Matte2 formulation?
ReplyDeleteThese colors where made for you! Stunning xx
ReplyDeleteThe eyes are so gorgeous and natural

I really like this look, those shades of colour are my favourites for eye shadows, like you I don't really suit the very dark smokey eye so always do something similar to this. Lovely!
