EOTD: Sleek Sweep

I bought the two remaining Sleek iDivine Palettes yesterday, in Original and Storm. This EOTD was done with Original, my new favourite.


The Original iDivine Palette - look how gorgeous and shimmery the colours are!

I used both greens on the far-right, top & bottom row, and the bright purple 2nd from the left. I used the light yellow bottom-left as highlight.





What I Used:

Skin:
Holland & Barrett Aloe Moisturiser
Camellia Rose Skin Soothing Primer
MaxFactor Age Renew Foundation: 40 Creamy Ivory
MaxFactor Mastertouch Concealer: 303 Ivory

Eyes:
Urban Decay Primer Potion
Sleek iDivine Palette - Original
Sleek Ink Pot Gel Eyeliner - Dominatrix
L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara - Carbon Black
Gosh Kohl Pencils - Lemon Soda and Grass Green

Lips:
Nothing!

Watch out for the full-face pic, I look rough.


Eww! Why do I look so bad? I ran out of my usual Benefit Get Even powder and had to resort to liquid foundation - totally not for my skin. Yuk!

Aww thank you! It was SOO easy to do. Using the first Sleek palette was pretty tricky, I think because it's matte, and I personally have always found matte finishes to be much harder to blend and lay on brightly.

But this shimmery palette in "Original" is much better, all the colours went on really rich, blending was a snap, and doing the little flicks took seconds. Easy peasy!

I have to say that this is my favorite FOTD thus far. I love the bright wing, I may just have to copy you and experiment with a pop of color, concentrated in the wing area, myself =X.

I would love to see some video tutorials of your looks! this one is especially nice, and I finally found a website that will ship sleek makeup to Canada so I'm happy.

Just wondering what brush you used to get that winged look at the end, I'm still learning so I don't know how everything is done yet :D

Hey Cutie! I did consider videos, but I'm not very comfortable with the media. I did a photo tutorial of my rainbow look here: http://ball-of-string.blogspot.com/2008/11/rainbow-eyes-tutorial.html
I've only been into makeup since June so I'm still learning a lot, too! Especially when it comes to eyeliner, I mess up so often!

For this look the brush I used for the wing at the end was the MAC 209, the pencil eyeliner brush. However, now for winged looks and gel eyeliner (very good if you're bad at liquid eyeliner, it's thicker, slower, easier to work with) I now use a flat slanted brush - although any will do, I use the flat slanted end of this double-eyeshadow brush: http://ball-of-string.blogspot.com/2008/08/silk-naturals-brushes-review.html

Coastal Scents is a great place to look for cheap gel eyeliner, their brilliant 88 Colour Palette and really cheap, but REALLY good brushes.
