The Lookbook specified to use a wet brush when picking up the shadows. The look is very bold and dramatic, which I feel is more of a night time look. I just wanted a simple day time look, so I used a dry brush instead of a wet brush. Here is what the Lavender Look looks like when used with a WET brush:
When I dry brushed the shadow, the results were more of a soft smoky grey eye that was perfect for day time wear. As you can see, the difference between using a wet brush and a dry brush is huge:
Average White Girl recipe for the Stila Color Wheel Lavender Look:
- Prime eyes with Urban Decay Primer Potion.
- Apply White from lash line to brow bone.
- Apply Lavender to lid and blend up into crease
- Apply Eggplant along lash line and blend into crease up toward brow bone.
- Apply Eggplant along the lower lash line about 2/3 the way from the outside corner to the inside corner of the eye.
- Apply Lavender around the inside corner of the eye and along the lower lash line to blend into the Eggplant.
- Apply Benefit High Brow just under brow arch and blend.
- In this example, I used Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner in Blackest Black to line my lids. Using this product will be a topic of a future post. I absolutely LOVE this product. It requires practice and a steady hand, but I love the results I get from it more than any other pencil eyeliner or felt tip pen liner out there. I DID NOT use the brush that came with the product. I used the Sephora angled liner brush #15, which works like a charm.
- Curl lashes and apply a generous coat of your favorite black mascara to upper and lower lashes.
This is a nice way to show off the winged liner I like to create with the gel liner. The shadows are pigmented enough to provide a nice soft smoke day time look, yet light enough to really showcase that perfect winged liner.
I'll do the wet brush Lavender Look in a future post to showcase a great night time look. Until then, I hope you all enjoy this fun look!
