This is quite a simple, but I think pretty, smokier eye using Rouge Bunny Rouge. I applied a light base of off-black Kryolan supracolour up to my crease, and then used Volcano Fairy-Wren (charcoal with silver sparkle) in the crease, on the outer corner of the mobile lid and under the lower lashline. I patted on Night Wind Sailing loose glitter pigment (sparkly iridescent pewter grey) on the inner two thirds of my mobile lid. (Don't be put off by the name of the product - this is sparkly shimmery, rather than glittery.) I finished with a dab of Seas of Tranquility highlighting liquid to highlight my tear duct.

I like this soft smokey eye, it looks very wearable! That eye shadow is really lovely, I always go for subtle shimmer so this definitely appeals to me! And the packaging is so lovely too! Is the Seas of Tranquillity highlighter easy to work with?

PS: I see you've changed your profile pic, so cool!
I like the look of Night Wind!
ReplyDeleteLovely smoky eyes! I wonder if rouge bunny will ever get here.
ReplyDeleteHi Anna - thanks for the comment. I love the RBR textures - the eyeshadows are beautiful. The Seas of Tranquility is a cream-gel texture, so it's very easy to work with. The only slightly annoying thing about it is that the pump dispenses far too much for one use, but I just pump it into a sample jar and use from there. The profile pic is from a Mad Men avatar maker - love that show!
ReplyDeleteHi Michelle - it's very pretty. Thank you :)
Hello Olivia - I don't think it'll get there any time soon - it's not a good time for a European line to launch in the US at the moment, and it's only available online here right now. I hope you get it eventually. x
Thats really pretty, I had not entertained the idea of getting one of the pigments because of the word glitter, but things have changed now I have seen you pictures. Is there much fall out and do they apply ok just over powder eyeshadows or is it best over a cream base do you think ?
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely, you 'do' sophisticated so well. I note the use of supracolour too!
ReplyDeleteHi Replica - there's not much fallout (but I don't use the sponge applicator to apply - I take some off it on a flat brush and apply from there), and you could wear it over a powder eyeshadow (it has that stickiness of a MAC pigment, although it's a bit sheerer than those) but I think it works best over a cream base.
ReplyDeleteHi Lipglossiping - thank you :) I think I may have mentioned the supracolour to you before ;)
I need to figure out a way to get some Rouge Bunny someday ;-)
ReplyDeleteI am writing again because of one of your comments on my post -- so Mr. London is a gamer? So is The Husband.We seem to have a lot in common. We NEED to meet in person someday!!

Hi! I'm a new reader of your lovely blog. :) This smokey eye look is gorgeous! I've never really been into glitters but here, you've made it look so chic! Well done!
ReplyDeleteHi Michelle - well, now we know we could send the boys off to talk xbox I think it's fated :) If you ever did want to get hold of some RBR I am sure we could work out some sort of exchange programme ;)
ReplyDeleteHello Witoxicity. Thank you so much for reading and commenting. I don't do big glitter either, but this is quite grown-up sparkle, I think. :)
