So what is awesome about drugstore makeup is that it's relatively cheap enough for error.
A few months ago I bought this:
It looked great on the shelf, I figured it would work for me. Warm creams and browns. I couldn't fail, it was the perfect "Type 3" colors!
I looked gross.
Straight up not right.
But since I only spent two dollars and change on that bad boy, and used it twice, tops, I gave it to a family member who said it would look great on them.
I honestly have yet to find a set brown eye shadows that would look great on me.
Explain that one, sweetheart.
I was watching some makeup tutorials and found one of my favorite youtubers showing us how to make her gorgeous, myriad of purples on her eyes.
I realized then that I hadn't worn purple eye shadow in ten+ years. Why ten years? Because that's when the purple eye shadow I bought for my wedding was probably all used up.
I never bought more purple eye shadow after that...probably because I realized I caught my man, became a baby making machine, started putting makeup last on my priority list and when I did wear makeup, I rarely wore eye shadow.
I sure love this palette!
You are so brave. Love these videos you do. It's a statement in my mind to your type 3 (getting out there) and secondary 2 (helping others).
ReplyDeleteJust a thought, on camera at least, the makeup looks type 2 to me. You look hidden, and bold at all to me.
Here is what I did. I spent the money one time, for DYT individual eyeshadows that I wanted. I use them on occasion, and mostly I take them to Walmart with me and match them up. I also laid them on my card and got familiar with how they looked on the card (vibration) It's a never fail now, even with the pallet. I also had to buy a few lipsticks and glosses.
I was spending money on Walmart stuff and giving a lot of it away, more than the cost of a few eyeshadows. it was mostly type 1 (my secondary), thinking the bright was saturated.
I do see where they usually stick some totally odd ball, non matching color in there .. hate it. As always, thank you for doing these. Hugs, d
Thank you Diana!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I'm so brave as I just figure no one is going to be watching these! LOL! You're very kind to say that.
The colors do look Type 2! I know the middle, odd color that I didn't wear is definitely Type 3 I also have a blue eye shadow palette that is Type 3 as well as a hunter green eyeshadow that I enjoy wearing that is Type 3 but they don't go on very dark, or, at least I don't put them on dark. Maybe I'm just too scared! ;)
When I want contrast I mainly just use a cream eye shadow with the liquid liner. :)
Thanks for your tip! What a great idea! I love your ideas so please, keep them coming!
Sending ya a big hug back! <3
