Summer Shimmer, Eye Shadow look using ELF 32 color Palette







   
 Golden Summer Shimmery eyes

I wanted to try out the ELF 32 color palette for a daily look so this is what I came up with.

I applied Urban Decay Primer Potion under my eyeshadow to prevent creasing, and applied pressed powder on top of that to set it.

 Highlight (Under brow color)
Using the Sigma E60 brush I applied the shadow under my eyebrow
Eyeshadow under eyebrow




 Copper color on the lid
 Using the Sigma E55 I applied the copper color all over the lid
a
Gold inner corner
Using the Sigma E30 brush I applied the gold in the inner corner of the eye and underneath the bottom lash line (sorry for the bad pic)
 Dark brown to outer corner (V) of eyelid
 Using the Designer Tools 700P-12 brush I took the dark brown and blended the dark brown into the V corner of the outer lid...make sure to blend well.
 Using crown's eyebrow brush, I brushed them in the direction I wanted
 Brown eyeshadow to fill in eyebrows
 Using an angled stiff brush I lightly applied the shadow to fill in the brows
 Dark brown shadow as eyeliner (MAC Suspicious)
 Using the Sigma E65 brush push the shadow along the top lash line.
Curl lashes for 10 seconds each eye
I ALWAYS apply mascara primer (MAC Prep & Prime)


















I applied 2 coats of black mascara (KIKO Curling Mascara) Also apply 1 coat along bottom lashes.

Finished Look



I wore this look for a good 8hrs or so...it didn't crease, but the problems I found with the ELF shadows is that when you apply them there is some fallout (when the shadow falls onto your face) and that there is too much glitter in the shimmer shadows. It won't prevent me from using them again of course, but I will put some loose powder under my eyes next time to prevent the fallout from staying on my face.

Hope you enjoyed this, try it on yourself...its easy peezy lemon squeezy :)

Neon lights and love,
Emily
