I’ve been playing around with the new Wet ‘n Wild 8 palettes (really good swatches from VintageorTacky here!) I am absolutely in love with the green-brown duo chrome eyeshadow from the Comfort Zone palette. It’s kind of got the same idea as MAC Club from my understanding (although it’s probably a lot more red based) I’m using this one in the tutorial today!
Let me tell you. I think this eyeshadow combination is so amazing. I’ve actually repeated it 3 times, which is pretty good considering I hardly ever repeat an eye look. I even used it on my mom! I realize that I haven’t done a more wearable look OR picture tutorial in awhile so here you go:
Started with a softly blended warm brown matte, all over (I do this step so that I have an easier time blending the rest of my darker shadows into a nice fade at the end)
Then I just deepened the outer with a muted plummy tone. *Be sure to keep it really soft!*
On the inner I added that awesome brown-with-green-flash. I’m used a denser shader brush here, its important to pack the color on a bit harder here.
Added the flashier bright purple and blended it into the shimmery brown. UGH, SO PRETTY.
Finishing touches: BLEND BLEND BLEND. Retouched my main shimmery colors (the purple and green-brown). Deepened the outer with a dark brown and added liner and mascara.
Eek! So pretty! I think I want to roll in that duochrome! Can I volunteer to be the next person you paint on? :D
That makes two of us!!! Aa I would love to do your makeup, your eyes and eyelids are so pretty [ ... 0.o ] ahahahahaha
I love this color combo! Especially Lawsuit *drools* that colors (along with all its dupes) is gorgeous~ I really like how you did your lower lashliner liner here, it pulls the look together nicely.
Actually I don’t like lawsuit as much as this one, it’s a little less versatile since it’s so dark… I don’t think it would work as well with this color combo anywho :] The one from comfort zone is MUCH more red and I think the green is more noticeable too.
I loooove Rock & Republic shadows. they’re lovely. lawsuit is a gorgeous color, Too Faced’s Label Whore is another dupe of it, I believe. but Lawsuit is a better version of it, imo.
also, yes to video!
I love love love R&R, I recently bought 3 and my next post will probably be a review and swatch!! <3
