It's been a while since I've done some looks and I had an hour or two on my hands yesterday after finishing my philosophy essay so thought I would try out the Body Shop eyeshadows.This is just a really simple day time look, it was really quick because I didn't have to fiddle around with any brushes or decide which colours work together. I used their Shimmer Cubes palette in 07 and it was great because every colour in there went together, making it so easy to create a look.
I love the idea of this product, each box contains 4 eyeshadow cubes which you can take out and swap around. The pigmentation is great and they go onto the eyelid really nicely. I used my fingers to blend as recommended by their makeup artist, Chase Aston and was pleasantly surprised.
Really quick and simple look, the lightest colour all over, middle shade in outer half and the dark, plum bronze shade above crease and outer V. I brought the middle and dark shade underneath my eyes to join up both halves. I also used a white Body Shop single shadow as a highlight near my eyebrows.
I would definately use the Shimmer Cube again, I was a bit apprehensive about them at first because I'm not a shimmer fan but I love the end result.
To create this look I used:
Face- Laura Mercier Mineral Primer, Perscriptives mineral powder, Laura Mercier Secret Concealer, Perscriptives Camouflage concealer and Benefit's Erase Paste.
Bronzer/Blush - Nars Orgasm blush, Prestige Glam Tan bronzer and Mac Refined MSF.
Eyes - Perscriptives Gel liner in Twig, Laura Mercier eyebrow wax in Fair, Givenchy eyeliner in Beige Pearl, Estee Lauder eyeliner in Bronze, Body Shop Shimmer Cube and Max Factor False Lash Effect mascara!
Lips - Mac Saint Germain and Mac Tri-colour lipgloss in Just Dessert!
What do you think? Have you ever tried the Shimmer Cubes?
