I used this opportunity to test out Jordana’s new eye primer, Made to Last. For the shadows themselves, I used Sleek’s Arabian Nights palette, as part of my Shop Your Stash challenge. I applied Aladdin’s Lamp to the inner lid/inner vee and put Valley of Diamonds (smoky violet with scattered gold shimmer) on the outer crease, and blended those two shades inward toward the middle. Then I added a little bit of Golden Souk in the lower center lid. (And then I buffed away some of the purple because it was a bit vampier than I intended.) I had recently gotten the NYX Cosmetics’ Halo Holographic Eye Tint in Fairy Dust, which I initially tried using as a flashy liner. That really was not working, so I just applied it to the innermost vee of my eyelids, for a light highlight. I finished off the look with Stila’s Smudge Crayon in Smoke on my eyebrows, Maybelline’s Metallic Chrome Rose Gold highlighter beneath my brow, and Maybelline’s Total Temptation mascara on my lashes.
