Hello everyone and welcome back to Looks By Li! A few weeks
back I did a look using the Urban Decay Alice through the looking glass palette
that was very colorful. I thought this time I would showcase the versatility of
this palette by doing a more everyday, wearable look. If you missed the last
post, just click here http://twilightdelight.tumblr.com/post/146308483050/face-of-the-day-dream-on-smokey-eye-summer-look
after you read this one. Hope you enjoy!
I recently did a full, comprehensive review http://twilightdelight.tumblr.com/post/145359582225/feature-friday-urban-decay-alice-through-the
of this palette on my YouTube https://youtu.be/7TSRRGmOdOU channel,
since it seems it got quite a lot of mixed reviews. Please be sure to
subscribe, comment, and like my video so I know you guys enjoy this kind of
review videos. Some I don’t blame you about, yes the packaging is bulky, and
yes some of the colors are less than stellar when it comes to the UD pigmentation
and quality we are use to. But, let me just say I am obsessed with this
palette, the versatility and array of color combinations that are possible with
this palette are just too good to pass up. You can go very warm, or very cool
toned, or something in between. One of the prettiest colors in the palette, to
me, is “Mirror” and I was having a hard time placing it in the scheme of the
palette or how to create a look with it. I figured it would make a gorgeous
everyday look possible with a slight edgy cat eye. You’ll be pleasantly
surprise to find out this whole look was created using this one palette and it
only took about four eye shadows. If you want to learn how to recreate this
look than just keep reading.
Like I stated previously I love this palette and have
created so many looks using it, some outside the box, and some very wearable
like this look featured today. If you love wearable looks be sure to let me
know in the comment section below, for now lets jump right into it. If you have
read any of my previous posts you know I like to start with the eye shadows
first. This prevents any fall out from ruining my face makeup. Make sure to
start off by prepping the eyelids with a good primer. For this look I used the
Elf eye shadow primer. Be sure to read till the end for a complete list and
links to all products used.
Now that the lids are well primed and ready for shadow, I
wanted to use a shimmery base to go underneath the first shadow we will apply
which is “royal flush”. Using the NYX jumbo shadow pencil in Yogurt. I placed
this shade down first all over the lid portion of my eye. Make sure to blend it
in very well with your fingers. Then we want to go ahead and work on deepening
the crease. Using the eye shadow in “reflection” start by placing this in the
crease as your transition shade. Then deepen it using the eye shadow in
“Dormouse”. Once you have the crease looking as deep as you desire, it’s time
to use the star of the show shadow in “mirror” right were we placed yogurt. Be
sure to pack it in all over the lid. Then using “bandersnatch” use this shade
to deepen the outer V corner of the lid and create that cat eye effect. Use
“royal flush” for an inner corner and brow bone highlight.
Lastly, just use your favorite crème, gel, or black liquid
eyeliner to create a wing liner. I decided to leave the lower lash line without
color or shadow as I believe this helps the look seem more wearable and also
elongates the cat eye effect. Top the
look off with your favorite mascara and move on to the face products.
For the face I kept it very simple. I wanted a foundation
that is good for summer. Light to medium coverage, that is not too thick or too
watery that it will melt off. I used the L’Oreal cushion foundation, which
happens to be my most favorite foundation for summer, see full review here. http://twilightdelight.tumblr.com/post/144560881995/wednesday-wishlist-cushion-compact-foundation
I also applied a light hand of bronzer, which I am obsessed with at the moment.
The Chanel Soleil Tan de Chanel cream bronzer is a must-have in your summer
makeup bag.
That completes this cool “mirror” shadow inspired makeup
look. I hope you love this look as much as I do and I hope it inspires you to
try more cool toned looks for summer. Cool tones aren’t always the easiest to
work with so hopefully this post brings you some inspiration. If you love
