The taupe/brown liquid eyeshadow base applied on its own. This is quite liquid and sheer, I do prefer the look of two thin layers to avoid it looking anaemic.
With the blue loose colour powder applied over the top (and a dab on its own on the left.) On my eyes, I wear with the liquid base applied on my lid and just past my crease, and then dab the loose colour powder in the centre of my mobile lid and blended out. Today I tried dabbing the loose powder directly on with the doe foot applicator in the tube and got a lot of fall out; I think it'd work better dabbing onto the back of my hand first as a palette, and then picking up colour from there with a firm brush or a sponge applicator before applying to my lid.
The combination is pretty, but quite pale. I do feel I need to add the brown pencil to give a little definition to the look.Also in the Egerie Collection:
Eye Shimmer Duo in Shiny Mint (chartreuse base, cool beige mint powder. Edit: from other pictures online, it appears that the powder may be a beige pink, not a beige mint. It was my least favourite of the combinations, so I didn't look closely enough!)
Eye Shimmer Duo in Starry Violet (grey taupe base, violet powder.)
Blush stick.
Highlighter stick.
Black and pink nail polishes.
Shu Uemura is available online at www.beautyexpert.co.uk, and they have the Egerie collection up already.
