I really loved how the mattes looked. I just ordered a sample set of the Aromaleigh Hi-Fi Mattes collection, so I'm excited to test out those. I'd also like to try out more of the gorgeous mattes from Beauties Factory.

Matte green EOTD
I'd been itching to play with mattes for a while, so yesterday I gave it a shot. I was amazed at the staying power of the colors I used, it seems like matte colors last better than their frosty/shimmery/glittery friends. By the time I had them on for about 10 hours, they still looked as bright as they did when I first applied. I had my makeup on for a total of 16 hours, and these really STAYED the whole time.
What I used:
Concrete Minerals eye primer
Slimy, by Detrivore (inner lid)
Seaweed/431 by Beauties Factory (outer lid)
Banana Taffy, by Suds N Sass (crease)
Feel the Heat, by High Voltage (highlight)
Jordana Fabuliner in black
Urban Decay 24/7 pencil in Zero
Maybelline Falsies Mascara
Covergirl Liquiline Blast pencil in Green Glow (under waterline)

ReplyDeleteI love it! I really want to order some Detrivore stuff but I am on le ban :(
ReplyDeleteOMG I love it!!! Seriously!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this combo!
ReplyDeleteLOOOOOOVE. I fucking love chartreuses, so I love the chartreuse-y yellow in the crease :D
ReplyDeletetotally love this look! I havent had much experience with mattes (other than just playing around with a few different looks) but I think they look great... Really stands out cos I think we're all so used to people wearing shimmery sparkly eye shadow :)

That looks really pretty! :)
ReplyDelete@KittensMittens: YOU WILL LOVE DETRIVORE. And I know I will love my Al mattes. I already have 3 of them, I think.
ReplyDelete@Glytten: Thank you! :D
@The Peach: Thanks!
@Lucy: They are definitely much harder to blend than shimmery colors.
@Robyn: Aw that's no fun :( I'm about to go back on a low-buy too, I have ordered way too much stuff lately.
@femputer: Thank you!
@MissTat: Thanks!
@SilhouetteScreams: It looks more chartreuse-y in the pictures than it does IRL, it's a light yellow. Slimy turns very chartreuse when applied though.
@All Made Up: I was surprised at how different it looked than normal shadows, I think it's because you really concentrate on the color and not the glitter or anything.
@kathyeffingjacobs: thx bby ;]
@AestheticAnonymous: thank you!
I love how the colors blended together. This is a gorgeous matte look on you.

Wow, I think I've only heard of one of the indie brands you used! I'd love to get some indie brand recs from you!
ReplyDeleteCute! I love love mattes. I try to use shimmers and stuff, and they're so pretty, but in the end I just prefer mattes on myself. They are so bright and fun, and they stay soooo much better on my oily eyelids. I love my CS 88 Matte Palette, use it all the time. <3
ReplyDeleteI LOVE how you blended the green and yellow/green colors - this is gorgeous!
