Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I love my newest HiFi purchases! I took advantage of their sale on the new rockstar shadows and I am so glad I did. These shadows are amazing, packed with tons of glitter and are really nicely pigmented. Used atop their new shadow fix, the shadows really look like glimmering liquid metal. Yum!
The Hi Impact Shadow fix really rocks and I would imagine that it compares to Fyrinnae's Pixie Epoxy though I have never tried it. HiFi describes it as- Specifically formulated to be used with all my super-shimmery, mega-glittery Rockstar and Hi Fi shadows, this product can actually be used with any loose or pressed shadow! (Not recommended for mattes.) It's glycerin-based, contains soothing aloe vera, and it ROCKS at holding those sparklies on!
I applied it to the lid just up to the crease, and spread it out to a very thin layer. I allowed it to get slightly dry and tacky and patted the rockstar shadow on top. I used no other primer (as my UDPP is all dried out) and I had no problem with creasing or fading- even after a nap!
I used:
HiFi On Tour patted on top of shadow fix, just up to crease (ON TOUR is the goldest gold we have! This shadow looks like liquid metal on the lids, flecked with intense golden glimmers! Photos cannot do this shade justice!!!)
Ben Nye Terracotta blended into crease with MAC 224 (matte midtone warm brown)
NYX Black blended into outer corners and along lower lashline (matte black)
Ben Nye Toast on brow bone (matte off white)
Cheeks are MAC The Perfect Cheek and a bit of MSF soft and gentle as highlight. NYX Taupe to contour.

ReplyDeleteThanks so much Krista! I used a new kind of hairstyle because I'm steering clear of L'oreal. I used Revlon color silk in ultra light ash blonde- it was like half the price of L'oreal and the color is amazing- best of all, Revlon does no animal testing! :)

Thanks so much MissTat, the brown in the crease really helps to diffuse and blend.
