Favourite simple Rouge Bunny Rouge eye look

Rouge Bunny Rouge

I will happily wear the brightest lips, but I don't feel comfortable in a lot of eye make up. I don't know if it's something about the shape/size of my eyes, or just a personal oddity of taste.

The eye make up I wear most often is a variation on a theme by Rouge Bunny Rouge. I line my upper lid with a Rouge Bunny Rouge Eye Kohl, and then smudge Solstice Halcyon eyeshadow over the top of it and into my crease. I add a bit of mascara and I'm finished: it gives natural definition to my lashes and shadow without looking too 'done' for me.

Left to right: kohl in Delilah, Lola and Salome. Delilah is a shimmering plum shade, and more purple than it appears in this picture. Lola is a dark brown with warm shimmer, and Salome is a creamy black. Delilah is the most subtle of the three shades, and Salome (unsurprisingly) is the darkest.

I've taken a photo wearing Delilah and Solstice Halcyon. It's probably not much help, because what looks defined but subtle in real life looks like no make up whatsoever in a photograph. For what it's worth, here it is:

  7. I'm exactly the opposite - strong eye, weak lip. But I love what you do.

  8. Very nice, I really like the look of the eyeliners. I haven't tried any of theirs yet.

    I like the definition and slight volume the mascara gives - what one have you used?

  10. I've just fallen in love with how Solstice Halcyon looks applied over Lola. I do need that pencil! I wore Solstice Halcyon today, it really is a great staple colour to have.

  11. That is such a classic, beautiful look. I love it. I am glad Meeta asked about your mascara, because that was going to be my question, as well. Lancome make some very nice mascara, ones that give a real natural look. Gorgeous! Where's your red lip, though and what red are you loving these days?

  13. Hey MB - I love my Solstice Halcyon (as you can probably see from the picture!)

    Hi Zuzu's Petals - I love that about this mascara, it never looks clumpy. I have a *good* red balm/tint coming up later this week ;)

    Hello MM - thank you :)
