... beauty: EOTD - Experimental Smashbox

You know when you have something you don't want to do and so you put it off and try not to look at it?
Well that is what I have been doing with my Smashbox Shadow & Liner Trio in "Hot Date" that had somehow broken without me dropping it...... but not anymore!!!!! 

Inspired by my liner-as-shadow success in my green/gold EOTD, I decided to try the same sort of method with the Smashbox cream liner that is included in the trio. I am not particularly keen on these liners, I find that they disappear really easily, but using it this way has proved far more longwearing.

Here is the look:









Here is the palette:





Base: Very light application of Mally eyeshadow base
Lid: Pale colour from the palette
Socket/ top+bottom lashline: Cream liner with the purple eyeshadow blended over the top
Liner (top lashline): MUG Corrupt eyeshadow (intense black - love it!)
Waterline: MAC Smoulder
Mascara: Maybelline Full 'n' Soft Waterproof + L'oreal Lash Architect 4D

I really like how this turned out. It's a bit smokier in real life but I'm so pleased that i have found a way of using this trio, I will be trying it out with the Girls Night Out trio (that was part of the same kit) asap!!

Thanks for reading xx

All comments are welcome, unless you are being mean obviously, and I read them all even if it sometimes takes a bizarre amount of time for me to reply :P
