I spy with my Pink little eye…

May 4, 2009 Paris B 13 Comments

I mentioned previously that I was taken in by the sales assistants in Shu Uemura who were promoting the Shu Uemura Pink Collection by wearing pink and black on their eyes. So, when I had the chance, I decided to experiment.

The colours I used were just 3 – Milani Storm (shimmery black) and the light pink and fuchsia from the Clarins Audacious/ So Sublime quad. You don’t have to use these so long as you can get your hands on a black, light shimmery pink and fuchsia eyeshadow.

Again, this is not a tutorial by any means, just my version of a pink and black eye of the day. I was pleased not to look like I was punched in the eyes or spent the night crying my eyes out. I wore it to work – and had a surprise meeting sprung on me! – but most people I deal with are used to my eccentricities 🙂 It would be much better worn at night – smokier and sexier 😉

Anyway, here’s what the completed look looks like and how I did it.

  • Apply black eyeshadow close to lash line and blend it upwards and outwards
  • Apply fuchsia eyeshadow in crease and outer 2/3 of the eye and blend it into the black
  • Apply light shimmery pink on inner corners and on brow bone
  • Blend! Blend! Blend!
  • Line lower lash with black eyeshadow and smoke out with the light pink

That’s it. Did I pass? 🙂

Its  a little bit more intense in person – the lighting washed the colours out a little. Keep the rest of the face light to avoid the drag queen look. I went for Benefit Dandelion on the cheeks and a very light Rimmel lipstick.

I did learn from this experiment that I need to find a darker black eyeshadow with more prominent shimmer. Milani Storm is a sheer crumbly black and the shimmer disappears. Can anyone recommend a dark black powder eyeshadow with shimmer?

Stay beautiful,

Paris B

    You definitely passed! 😀 I love the look, very rock and roll!

    My favorite color combo is pink and black (which you can probably tell from my site haha) so it’s weird I never thought of this. Also, I have never tried on pink eyeshadow before … will def look out for some shades that may suit me.

I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskinca I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskincare Aura Manuka Honey Mask. It blew my mind away! Soothes skin. Boosts hydration and just makes you feel like you have the best skin ever! Not kidding. If you have a spot or irritated skin, it calms it down and helps get rid of your spots too. Honey is anti bacterial after all, so it’s a great multitasker. 
I also love the Manuka Honey Skin brightening Day Cream. It’s light but creamy and sinks into the skin. I’ve reviewed them both on the blog in the past. If you run a search for Antipodes, you’d also notice how much I love the brand! 😁
I’m super late with this but if you’re planning to purchase any of these 3 Manuka honey items from TNS Skinlab, the code MYWSTUFF10 will give you an extra 10% off (until tomorrow 31 Dec) I highly recommend grabbing the Aura mask. You’ll never want to be without (I always have a backup!) 
Thanks for the gift @tnsskinlab and I must apologise for my tardiness 😩 I’ll learn to cope better from next week! 
Now I have to scuttle and write my year end musings. Some traditions must be kept! 😜

It’s my first year doing retail and honestly, I’d never been so busy! The year-end rush is unreal! But busy is good, right? At least that’s what I tell myself 😂
While I pack up gift boxes of treats for doggies 🐶 (I’ve tied so many ribbons I’ve finally started to get it right!) #loccitanemalaysia makes it easy to shop for humans 😅 at experienceloccitane.com with their L’Occitane en Demande service. Place your order, and pick up in store or have it delivered. 
Had a bit of breather today and put together a little video. Blink and miss my little monster 🐶 helping me shop! Not sponsored but I did receive a gift from L’Occitane, for which my sun-exposed, dry dog-walking skin thanks you! 
Haven’t done any Christmas shopping this year. It has only just struck me that it’s but mere days away! 😨 Have you done yours?
