I have the second and last half of the Milani make up for 2012 today.. some awesome shadows/liner/brow tint/powder coming right up!
right side is dry, left is wet |
The Baked Eyeshadows are the must haves from the new shades.
16- Must Have Fuchsia is a warm and bright pearl pink that gets a little darker when applied wet but has great pigment either way. 17- Copper Excess is an awesome orangey copper that has an intense effect when it is applied wet. 18- Green Fortune is a shimmery combination that looks earthy. When it is dry, it is more green but when applied wet, the colors mesh to brown with gold shimmer in both.
I swatched these wet and dry, the version on the left is wet and the right is dry; you can see the contrasts. These retail for about $7.49.
Next up: Brows and liner! The felt tip on these are amazing and easy to control, which is great for me because I don't always have a steady hand. On the swatches below I did a thin line first with just one coat, the one to the left which is thicker is when I pushed a little harder and did two passes. The liner kind of bled on my skin but I suspect it wouldn't do that on the lid. I like that these are "pen" like and not too much product pours out of the tip when you use it. The Brow Tint Pens retail for about $5.99, the Eye Tech Extreme for $7.49, both well worth it in my opinion. (I'll have a look with these later).
And to add a bit of color to your face, here are the Face Illuminators (loving these)
The Milani Face Illuminators are great for many uses: contouring, bronzing, adding some cheek color. They are silky and light and retail for about $9.49. I would use 3- Beauty's Touch for some color to my cheek bones for some brightening up. 2- Hermosa Rose could be used for either a bronzer or a highlighter depending on your skin tone, same with 1-Amber Nectar, but this one on my fair skin could be used as bronzer as well. Overall, lots of multi purposes for these and are best applied with a kabuki brush for a light shimmer.

ReplyDeleteWow thanks for the great post! I was really curious about the Green Fortune eyeshadow. It looks so pretty, but shows up different than I expected. I bought a few of their eyeshadows for the first time recently and really like them...and the curved brushes!
