High Voltage’s website does a good job with that. I hate flash! The duochrome of the shades is not easy to photograph. It’s prettier than the pics which makes these colors look ashy and they aren’t. Lips are lined with NYX Slim Lip Pencil in Nude Pink, MAC Lipstick in Snob, DiorKiss Luscious Lip Gloss in Lime Glacé. And in case you wanted to know: blush is Lancôme Blush Subtil in Miel Glacé. I curled lashes and applied a coat of Hard Candy Ginormous Mascara to tops and bottom lashes. I lined the top lash line with MAC Fluidline in Macroviolet. I’m sure High Voltage has a similiar light champagne highlighter. Under the brows, I used Too Faced Eye Shadow in Champagne Sparkle. I lined the bottom lash line with Big Break and a teeny bit of New Skool in the inner corner to add shimmer. I sort of wished I didn’t do that, but oh, well. I purposely blended it down, meaning that I swiped instead of patted to subdue the shimmer for this look. I think this picture really shows the gold shimmer in Big Break. With this look I am wearing Big Break from lash line to crease, patted on with a brush. I think it is soft and romantic and something I’ll be doing more often. I really liked how this look turned out on me. This is my “day” look using the colors swatched above. This color is light too so I recommend it for lighter complexions.

Shimmery Eyeshadow in Born to Rock – This is a purple-ish shade with lots of blue in it. This is a must have shade for light to medium warm complexions.Ģ. I wish the gold shimmer showed up more in the swatch, see look below. It’s tame enough for work and goes with everything. I’m starting to think this is one of my new favorite colors. Think of a mauve glimmering in candlelight. It’s a dusty mauve with tons of gold shimmer. Shimmery Eyeshadow in Big Break – This is a lovely shade. I also did not use primer in the looks below.ġ. They are bit washed out because I have to use a flash since I live in the Artic Circle with no sunshine…ever. Of course, they can be paired with bold colors for an edgier look, but I wanted to put these all together because they are just pretty, so romantic and candlelit to me.Īll colors are swatched sans a primer.
