EOTD Gray: Epiphany

Valisin toonid umbropsu - kohutav kuid kuigi mul on nii palju erinevaid lauvärvitoone, tundub mulle ikka, et pole midagi laugudele panna - et kõik toonid juba ära proovitud ja kombinatsioonid läbi mängitud. Sellisel juhul on vaja vaid silmad sulgeda ja posust mõned niisama välja võtta - võib väga headele kombinatsioonidele juhtuda.


Archetype' toonidest Epiphany üle lau, Dirty Blonde kulmuluust silmavaoni ning Oceans of the Night niiskelt lainerina. Silmavaos on The Conservatorie Dark Coco. Silmade all EDM'i Pearl Sunlight ja meigipõhjana EDM'i Intensive Fair concealer.
Lauvärvipõhi on Manhattani oma ning ripsmetušš Lumene Blueberry. Ripsmed seekord ei õnnestunud - aevastus tuli enne peale.

Archetype's Epiphany all over lid,
Archetype's Dirty Blonde from crease to browbone,
The Conservatorie's Brown Coco in the crease and
Archetype's Oceans of the Night wet as liner.
EDM's Pearl Sunlight under the eyes
EDM's Intensive Fair concealer as foundation

Looks nice. Used the new EDM dome blending blush to apply the crease color - worked quite fine. Picture taken on a cloudy day, by the window some 10 minutes after applying.


Archetype has lots of different muted tones, many grays to choose from. Epiphany is dark silver gray with medium sheen that has tiny sparks of all colors in it. Dirty Blonde is orangish muted beige tone with golden sheen and Oceans of the Night is dark bluish black with tiny multicolored sparkles. Conservatorie's Brown Coco is simple matte dark brown.

Uued EDMi pintslid kohal / The new EDM brushes arrived


Saabusid, toonide hajutaja (blender) ning silmapliiatsijoone hajutaja (smudger) tunduvad mykke bro samas kui silmakabuki jr on pettumustvalmistav - ta on nimelt väga lühikese varrega. Sobib hästi mõnda reisikomplekti. Pintslid on oma tuntud pehmuses ja hetkel katsutuna ei ajanud neist ükski ka karva.


Kuna silmakabuki ise ka eriti hästi silmameigi tegemiseks ei kõlba (liiga suur) ja selle roll on pigem silmade alla valguspuudri kandmine ning kontuurimine, siis ka juunior sobib rohkem nt punnide peitmiseks ja peitepuudri pealekandmiseks. Hajutamispintslil tunduvad olema liiga pikad karvad ja vähe jäikust, selle kasutusvõimalusi peab veidi õppima. (Hilisem lisanuds: see pintsel on saast, õppiminegi ei aidanud.)

Tellimusega kaasa tulnud tasuta lauvärv Volcano Blossom on täissaast: musta raudoksiidi on segatud veidi pruuni ning lisatud kuldset sädelust. Kui seda tooni hajutada või hõõruda, kaob kuldne läige ära ja nahale jääb tugev määrdunud mustjaspruun laik. Kasutatav ainult krundiga (silmameigi aluskreemiga) ja siis soovitan ka niisket pealekandmist. Laineriks sobilik.


New EDM brushes - smudger seems promising, the blender may be a little too weak-haired (too bendy) and the eye kabuki jr has a very short handle (eye kabuki jr seems like the perfect thing to conceal pimples with). The freebie Volcano Blossom seems to be simple black iron oxide with some Verdigris Gold mixed into it - basically its dirty looking black-brown color with goldengreen sparks - do not recommend to buy. Good as an eyeliner, I presume. Totally unblendable though, all the golden sparks disappear.

Upcoming EDM haul





Gathered up some pals and ordered some brushes from EDM. Somehow I always seem to get rid of my spare LHK's cause one or another friend needs it more then I do. And EDM has released other brushes that have a good potential - hopefully - like the eye smudge brush and dome blending eye brush. We also chose some eye kabuki juniors - looking forward to the parcel dropping by any day now.

There have been tales of the new EDM brushes shedding, though.. hopefully we are lucky and get the good batch.

EOTD: Purple-Green

Tundub, et rohelillad kooslused on kujunemas mu lemmikuteks.
The purple-green combination is becoming one of my favorites. Gold goes well with it too.

Helerohelise ja lilla kooslus vajab veidike harjumist: Grape on kaunis intensiivne, kui paksult panna ning võib sellisel juhul paista nagu paras pirakas sinikas.

Kasutatud värvid:
TKB Grape välisnurkades ja silmavaos, Breath of Spring sisenurkades ja laul. Samuti kasutasin seda leevendamaks Grape liigset lillasust ning hajutasin väljapoole. Lainerina Conservatorie 18 K Gold. Silmade all EDM'i Pearl Sunlight ning meigipõhjana Intensive Fair concealer pooleks Sandy Fair'iga. Põsepunaks Conservatorie Twinkling pink, väikese sädelusega heleroosa.

Ahjaa - kosmeetik värvis kulme. Mu meelest jäi kaunis jube kuid loodetavasti kulub värv nädalavahetusega ära.


Please excuse the eyebrows - the beautician got carried away. Much too dark.
