Maybelline Black Eyeshadow
I finally got around to using the Maybelline glittery black-gray-silver palette that I got at for RM 5 at the recent L'Oreal warehouse sale.
This one.
I only used the silver and black (left and right), and to my surprise, it was actually very nicely pigmented and it stayed on. It was also easily blendable with the faux 224 brush that I got. I love it! However, the glitter will not appear obvious and it WILL fall upon application, so be ready with your fan brush. Thumbs up for the staying power because after a crazy night of partying, the eyeshadow remained intact with no creasing.
This is the look that I did using this palette. I simply love black shadow.
Like it?
The trick to wearing black shadow is to blend blend and blend. Pair it with another shadow that is light so that it won't look too gothic. Also, if you're keeping your eyes dark, keep your lips and cheek light. That means no red lipsticks and bright blusher. You'll want to keep the attention on your eyes.
Makeup used in this look:-
1. Maybelline Color Wear Trio Eye Shadow in Disco Queen-30
2. Shu Uemura Lipstick in 936 (Nude with orangey tinge)
3. RMK liquid foundation.
4. Bobbi Brown Gel Liner in Black (top lashline)
5. Makeup Forever Eyeliner in Black (bottom lashline)
6. Fake lashes
Speaking of fake lashes, with so many types of lashes on market now from all over the world, I've gotta say that not all types are suitable and comfortable to wear. I will write on how to identify good pair of lashes soon.
Remember, wear makeup!

Bravo on cheapie makeup which makes ya look good! :p
wow...it looks pigmented and great on you! I had mine in blue, green and yellow and I find i had to pack on it to get a good color payoff :)
tine, ya, for the first time har har.
askmewhats, i was totally surprised myself on how pigmented it is. but if it helps, i actually applied concealer on my lids before applying a base shadow, and then the black shadow. try that, and it'll probably look better.
thanks dear..you're right, I have a base and I may try that :) Thanks for the tip
wow. pretty eyes u got there! but i think i can never get this smoky eyes right on my own. i just look like i have been punched! or it is just because my eyes too small?
prettybeautiful, thanks :) like i said, its all about blending blending and using eyeliner and mascara to define the eyes. i really doubt its because your eyes are too small cos the reason everyone loves smokey eyes is because smokey makes your eyes look bigger. :)
askmewhats: no problem. i link you ya?
