I don't want to inundate my readers with details of my personal life, but last weekend my fiancé and I visited the Mont-Mégantic planetarium. Being a city girl, I was overwhelmed by the beauty of the night sky that we gazed upon from the top of the mountain..
So, this week, anything that reminds me of that gorgeous and mysterious blackness instantly peaks my interest. It turns out, this extends to cosmetics...
If you look through my recent "Seasonal Look" posts, you'll see how many warm, glowy, flowery and pastel-colored products are coming out this Spring. But what about the nights when we want to be dark, sexy and mysterious, never mind the season? I am glad you asked!
"Too Faced" has just released a product for those occasions. In the set, the "futuristic Italian opalescent-pigments" are baked into "silver-domed shadow" mix to produce a "multi-dimensional smoky eye". Et voilà: that's exactly what I am looking for - a multidimensional smoky eye!
In spite of the theme, the choices are neither infinitely numerous nor astronomically priced.
For $19.50, we can choose between:
- Super Nova (black with peach and pink)
- Deep Space (black with cobalt blue)
- Shooting Star (black with galactic gold)
- Moon Beam (black with laser light green)
The only tricky part would be getting smoky eyes right. It's complicated and if you don't do it correctly the effects might be at least as devastating as the fall of the Tunguska meteorite.
So I recommend looking through this wonderful tutorial which will help you do smoky eyes with scientific precision:
