Julie Hewett Rue Burgundy Hue eye colour, Natural Cheekie

Rue Burgundy Hue cream eyeshadow/liner, Natural Cheekie.

Swatches (in opposite order):

Applied:
Rue Burgundy on lid up to crease, Natural on cheeks and lips. This is a very simple face (I'm not a make-up artist, and don't aspire to be. I've usually got about 5 minutes to make myself look vaguely human in the morning.) I love the colour of the Rue Burgundy, which is more of a bronzey plum than a true burgundy, but as this is a cream product it does fade and crease quite quickly, particularly if you don't set it with some sort of powder (either a loose translucent powder, or a toning powder eyeshadow.)

I've wanted Rue Burgundy since seeing this post on www.makeupmole.com, of Rachel Weisz wearing it at a premiere. I keep meaning to get that Chanel eyeshadow too.

Rue Burgundy reminds me quite a lot of the Christopher Drummond loose powder eyeshadow in Marrom that I bought recently (the Marrom is more of a plummy bronze, but has a similar feel/look) and I think the two would work very well layered together. I'll post a picture of the Christopher Drummond colour products I bought applied, and my thoughts on them, later this week.

  1. Funny you should mention the makeupmole post because I did exactly the same and bought the rue burgundy and Chanel purple eye shadow. It's an unusual but beautiful combination. Karen

  2. Another great look! I'm really loving plummy eyeshadows at the moment - they really are great for every eye colour :)

  3. Very pretty! I have the Newsprint Hue and it's one of my favourite eyeliners/ e/s base! I like Natural a lot, too, very versatile.

  4. Rue Burgundy is nice but I do like Mystere better and with spring around the corner Malachite. I am all for the Kermit the frog green this spring!

  5. Hi Karen - it's a great look, isn't it? I think it looked stunning on Rachel W.

    Hi Dempss - I totally agree. I think plums are very flattering.

    Hey Conny - I love Newsprint Blue too, a really nice change from black.

    Hi Olivia - I do like Mystere too :) I need to give Malachite a whirl, I think it's a perfect spring colour.
