With the nude deal with being one of fall 2010’s most popular trends, it would be easy for you to just turn to your favorite shimmery champagne shadow, swipe a bit over your lid, and run out of the house. Skin radiant and cheeks immediately tinted red by the late-autumn chill, you’re the image of ultimate chic. but if you feel the look is as well ordinary — as well bare — and you’re lured to reach for that black liquid liner and slap on a thick cat eye, why not turn to your earth tones instead?

On one of my monthly trips to Sally’s a while back, I had just completed my hair product buying and was waiting on my father to pick me up. having already examined the aisles twice (I’m always persuaded I’ve missed some new, revolutionary product that’s been quietly tucked in between the Cholesterol Masques and the clarifying shampoo), the only display left was the makeup.

I’ll admit it. I’m a makeup snob. Seeing price tags of $5.99, $2.99, and, it pains me to say, $0.99, I was more than skeptical of these modestly packaged beauty items. I reluctantly bowed my head down towards the bare-bones rack.

I skimmed over the low-cost looking glitters, eyeliners in simple glass pots, and miles of mini-palettes that I was sure contained less pigment than a freshly washed brush.

“Oh, those are greeeeeaaaat.” I snapped my head up in time with the bursting of the clerk’s gum bubble. She sucked the pink goop into her mouth between pastel lips and nodded. “Yeah, they’re like, similar to MAC shadows. wirklich hübsch. terrific pigment. I looooove ‘em.” She went back to examining her nails.

Comparable to MAC shadows? I believed she had to be exaggerating, but fortunately for me, there was one shadow available for testing.

And she was right.

I bought 20. For less than a dollar each, I could afford to take the chance that the tester I had swatched was just some mistake; a high-end department store brand shadow that had been cleverly or accidentally swapped into a Sally girl compact to fool makeup lovers like myself. how thankful I am that this complicated confabulation was completely wrong.

I bought a substantial range of shades, from blues and navies, to purples and magentas, to forest eco-friendlies and day-glo limes. but being the season it is, the six earthtones I hauled have taken a semi-permanent area in my set (at least up until purple becomes de rigeur again). Fortunately, these bit marvels (1.1 grams, to be precise; for comparison, MAC shadows are 1.5 grams) are available in linking compacts, so you can organize them any method you want (I do it by color family so it’s easier to quickly find a shade on a job, but I know lots of people who do it by “look”, like putting all the shadows they utilize for a smokey eye in one palette). My earthtones combination contains the shades Auburn, Copper, Espresso, Brick, Champagne, and Mauve. Honestly, I don’t know where half of these names come from. Don’t trust them. Go by the actual shadow. Each of them has a extremely fine shimmer, which turns metallic when used wet.

Auburn is a kind of orangey burnt-copper shade, perfect for this season’s orange eyeshadow look if you don’t want to be so in-your-face about it. This shade looks stunning with green eyes, and works well as an eyeliner if you want a no-fuss, simple-chic look for days when you have very little time but need to look put-together.

Copper is actually more of a burnished, almost-antique gold (but with a bit more brown in it). The finish on this is absolutely gorgeous, and produces almost a slick sheen that’s nearly impossible to duplicate without the utilize of creams or gels.

Espresso is a somewhat more matte (though still shimmery) coffee-brown. nothing especially different about this one, but it is just a fantastic, all-purpose brown that would be terrific for producing a more played-down smokey eye.

Brick is possibly my favorite in this palette. It’s an outstanding reddish brown, perfectly similar to sun-baked, natural brick. It has an odd multidimensionality about it that’s hard to describe. The closest I can associate it in words is that it appears like a really expensive gel-pen, one that you would have to send away for from a specialty art supplier, and you order it on its own, not as part of a set. You keep this pen hidden away in your drawer to make sure that nobody grabs it to scribble down a quick grocery list or hasty phone message; this is for your utilize only.Champagner ist eigentlich eher ein frostiger Weißgold. Es eignet sich hervorragend, um den Brauenknochen auf hellerer Haut hervorzuheben oder den inneren Tränenraub zu setzen, um müde Augen aufzuheitern. Ich habe es auch als Grundfarbe für ein natürlicheres, unbeschwerteres Tochter Erde genutzt.

Farbtöne entlang der Oberseite werden trocken verwendet und die unter ihnen verwendeten nass

Mauve ist ein Pinky-Bege und möglicherweise die matteste dieser Farbtöne. Es hat ein wenig erhöht und ist als Faltenfarbe sehr schön, um mit nichts anderem auf Ihren Deckeln etwas Tiefe hinzuzufügen. Kombinieren Sie es mit Auburn für einen fantastischen, zurückhaltenden und aber auffälligsten Look.

Ich bevorzuge all diese Schatten, wenn ich nass verwendet wird. Diese Methode intensiviert die Farbe, ohne sie zu stärken (ein Problem, das ich mit vielen anderen Schatten finde), und steigert die Verschleißzeit zweimal. Diese Schatten tragen trocken und tragen ungefähr drei Stunden, bevor sie einen schleppenden Verblassen beginnen. Erwarten Sie mit einer Grundierung diesmal mindestens wieder verdoppeln.

In Bezug auf die Formel sind diese alle nur wunderschön. Sie treten wie Seide an, verändern die Konsistenz während des Verschleißes nicht, migrieren selten (ich habe dies immer nur einmal gesehen) und produzieren kaum Ausfall.

Mein einziger Kritikpunkt mit diesen ist die Verpackung, die ziemlich billig aussieht. Und obwohl mir die Verknüpfungsfähigkeit dieser Bit -Kompakte gefällt, sind die Deckel eher dünn. Ich hatte bereits zwei Abtasten (sie werden wieder einschalten, bis Sie sie öffnen). Achten Sie darauf, wenn Sie auf Reisen reisen Tragezeit. Aber mit einem kleinen Tupfer Primer ist diese kleine Beschwerde weggesperrt.

Für weniger als einen Dollar gibt es hier wirklich keine Gefahr, und Ihre Augen haben sicherlich viel zu gewinnen. Ich meine, komm schon. Das sind grieeeeeeeeaaat! Ich looooooooove â € žEm!
