daydreaming beauty

*affiliate links, I bought this*The Milani Fierce Foil Eyeshine swatches post had such a great response, I wanted to experiment and share a look with you using these beautiful metallic shadows. Florence is my favorite of the bunch, and I think the best of the 4 quads. The palette contains two bronzey browns, a gold and copper. Ignore the brows, they are naked. For this look, I used Urban Decay Naked and Buck from the Naked 1 palette in the crease and outer v. I used my favorite eye primer of the moment, Smashbox 24 Hour Photo Finish Shadow Primer. As you can see, even immediately after applying the Milani shadow, there is some creasing. Maybe it’s just because my 36 year old eyelids are getting less firm than they used to be.
After some experimenting with the eyeshadow application method, I found the best results were when I used my finger tip to pat the shadow on. These shadows aren’t really blendable, so place them carefully or you will be wiping them off and starting over. There is some fall out, but it’s not terrible.
I wore the shadows for a few hours, and they stayed vibrant. I didn’t experience any additional creasing. Unfortunately, the shadow made my eyes very irritated. I had to take my contacts out and wash my face. Even using my Camomile Cleansing Butter, I still had glitter left around my eyes.
Remember the purple quad that didn’t swatch so well? I tried an eye look with that as well, and it was so patchy and there was SO much fall out. It wasn’t even worth sharing pics with you! So, while these pretty metallic shadows don’t work for me, I know so many of you want to try them. I have a brand new Florence palette that I’m giving away! This giveaway is open internationally.
