Hi my beautiful readers, I have decided to start a new series of Monday must have, where I will be reviewing skincare or makeup products, which I have been using for a long time. Today's post is for girls who are on a budget like me but yet want to experiment with new look. I love wearing smokey eyes especially brown and purple. These colours complements any eye color but if you have brown or blue eyes this post will be helpful for you. This post is about an eye shadow palette which is affordable and easily available in any Superdrug branch.
NYC ( New York Color) offers great quality and shades that are affordable. However only Superdrug sells this brand makeup, as far as I am aware ( do correct me if I am incorrect) in the UK. I came across this brand 2 years ago I have tried various product from this brand which I will do the detail haul as soon as I can. So follow me on Instagram to stay updated
To create perfect purple smokey eye I use NYC individual eyes - 945 Midtown Mauve. The price is £3.99, which I think it's a bargain and perfect to wear this summer. The palette contains 4 eye shadows, a primer and an illuminator. The pigmentation of these shadows are amazing and they do last upto 6 hours. It does come with the sponge applicator which is not useful. Superdrug also has similar palette for those ladies who has beautiful blue eye the palette is called NYC individual eyes-942 smokey blues.
You can create 2 looks using this palette, a soft purple smokey eyes which is perfect to wear day time and heavy smokey eye which is perfect for the evening.
For the soft purple smokey eye, start with the base which is number 1 from the palette and apply the highlighter only into the inner corner of the eyes, which is number 3 in the palette. After that apply number 5 all over the lid and number 4 in outer eyes and blend using the blending brush.
For heavy smokey purple eye start with the base and number 3 in the inner corner of the eye. Apply number 4 all over the lid and number 6 in the outer corner. Finish it off with eyeliner,mascara and pink lipstick.
