RMK Spring Modern Collection Modern Eyes 02 and Modern Cheeks 03



I was recently sent some items from the RMK Spring 2010 collection to try out. RMK is the sister brand to Suqqu, and generally the feel of RMK is a little younger and more sparkly than Suqqu, to my eye.

Swatches of the shades in Modern Eyes 02, and applied on my eyes.
The overall effect is quite sparkly and pretty. I don't think I'd say it was OL appropriate for me (I'll go quite smoky eyed in the office, but I feel less serious in sparkly eye make up.) It is very spring-appropriate, youthful and feminine though, and was a big hit with Miss London, who thinks it makes me look 'like a cool green fairy.' 

Here's the full face. The blush gives a really pretty coral glow that's very wearable, even on pale skin (I blended the brown and the coral pink shade together on my brush and applied to the apples of my cheeks, then highlighted my cheekbones with the paler shade.) I'm wearing Suqqu Blend Lipstick 07 on my lips. 
So, what do you think? Love the sparkles, or a little too sparkly for you? I'm going to post a Suqqu Spring 2008 FOTD later in the week that is a more subdued sparkly look I love. 

Disclaimer: the RMK products in this post were sent to me by the company for consideration for review. The Suqqu Blend lipstick was purchased by me.

  5. Hi Amy - thank you.

    Hi BeautyScribbler - the lipstick is one of my favourites.

    Hello Witoxicity - thanks :)

    Hi BBB - I like greens too, but I like them a bit darker on me, I think. This one is really pretty for spring though.

  6. Its VERY sparkly isn't it? I don't know how I feel about RMK at the moment the prices are steep and the pigmentation is just so-so? So then I think...I'd rather spend it on MAQUillage for example :)

  7. Hey Cosmetic Candy

    I think I'm definitely more of a Suqqu than an RMK customer. This palette is pretty, but sheerer than I like, personally.

  8. the color pay off is very sheer but it's very lovely- make me wanna buy an eye palette too. How long does the eyeshadow last?

  9. Hi SuPeachChaya - the wear of these is surprisingly good, considering the sheerness. These did last on me all day without much fading at all. They're lovely quality, they are just on the sheer and sparkly side.

    Thanks for visiting my blog. :)
