Aromaleigh Pinks and Purples!!

Hello!

This was yesterday's LOTD.   I purchased the entire sample set of Aromaleigh's Retro Hi Fi matte collection a while ago; I knew I would love them as I am always in search of matte shadows in exciting colors.   I like to combine textures and finishes in my looks, and usually reach for a matte or satin shade for the crease/outer V area.  This collection makes me so happy because the colors are vibrant, matte, nicely pigmented and from the ones I've swatched so far- not chalky at all.  Today I used Whats Shakin' in my crease and fell in love with the cool, midtoned purple shade.

The pics don't do a great job of relaying the colors, they were a bit deeper and more vibrant IRL.  Darn flash!!

Here is what I did:

• Applied UDPP and a very scant and even layer of NYX Jumbo Pencil in milk from lashes to brow, with a slightly heavier application to the tear duct area
• Using a MAC 217 brush, applied Aromaleigh Whats Shakin' to my crease.  I applied from the outer corner in to ensure that the heaviest depositing of color was on the outer edge of my eye.  I blended this at the upper edges.
• Using a Sonia Kashuk small shader brush, I applied Aromaleigh Fan Club all over the lid up to the crease blending it into the Whats Shakin'
• Using a pointed crease brush from Coastal scents (like the MAC 226), I applied Aromaleigh London Dungeon to the Outer V and brought it slightly into the crease
• Picked up that 217 brush and blended the London Dungeon out using whatever Whats Shakin was left on the brush
• Using the same Sonia Kashuk brush, I picked up a tiny but of Aromaleigh Peony and blended it into the outer edges of my lid and dragged it inward into the Fan club
• Lined the lower lashline with a smudger brush and some London Dungeon
• Using the same shader brush, wiped clean, applied Aromaleigh Moon to the tear duct area, dragging it slightly into the inner crease and lower lashline colors
• Lined with Ben Nye Cake Liner, applied mascara... Done!
