Illamasqua Machine and Synth eyeshadows applied



I finally had a chance to play with the eyeshadows from the Dystopia collection that I was given at the event last Thursday. Please excuse the messy eyebrow and the stray hair.

I used:
Command cream eyeshadow over lid and into crease as a base. This is a greyish mauve.
Sophie pencil (black) to line lower lid and waterlines.
Machine over outer corner of mobile lid and in crease, also taken under outer lashline.
Savage (warm matte purple) blended into Machine in crease, and taken up to brow in inner corner of eye.
Synth on inner half of mobile lid, and inner half of lower lashline.
Eternal shimmer cream to highlight under browbone (I'd use the silver metal instead if I had it.)

I hope you can see the iridescence of Synth, which is a shimmering pale smoky mauve with pink iridescence. Machine is a well-pigmented matte charcoal, with subtle sparkles dispersed through the matte base. It blends very well with other colours, making it very useful for a smoky eye.

  6. Hi Anonymous - I agree with you! I saw the display at the counter today (unfortunately they hadn't quite gotten the sale stock yet) and the display is gorgeous - well worth a visit if you're near a counter. Thanks for your comment. x
