Tropical Punch

Another look from the Sleek Makeup palette, this time I tried the iDivine Ultra Mattes V1 Brights. I’m not sure how I feel about this palette. The colors are absolutely breathtaking, the pigments were amazing, yet there’s something missing. I’m not quite sure how to put it. I mean, the color glides like a butter, but when it’s time to blend, the eyeshadow seems to just disappear into the abyss. I mean, it’s just gone gone gone. I’ve to re-apply and re-blend the blue eyeshadow (on the crease) over and over again, even so I still am not too happy with the end result.

Anyways, for swatches and close-up pictures on just the palette itself, please click on this post Sleek Makeup iDivine Swatches.

I think I might give this palette another try some time soon.

How-to:

1. Using a flat eyeshadow brush, I applied MAC Paint Pot in Soft Ochre all over my eyelid up to the brow bone (not in picture).

2. Using a clean flat eyeshadow brush, I applied Sleek Makeup DragonFly eyeshadow on the center of my eyelid in a patting motion. Watch out for fallout, kids!

3. Using another flat eyeshadow brush, I applied Bolt from the same palette on the outer corner of the lid and slightly on the crease.

4. Using another clean flat eyeshadow brush, I applied Pucker from the same palette on the inner corner of the lid.

5. I use a fluffy blending brush to blend the edge of the blue eyeshadow to remove any harsh line.

6. I used a clean small fluffy brush just to blend it so there’s no harsh lines separating the 3 different eyeshadows.

7. I applied Dragonfly on the lower lid using a small shader brush.

8. Using an angled eyeliner brush, I applied Smashbox Blackout eyeshadow on just the outer corner of the lower lid. I applied this eyeshadow right along my lower lash line.

9. I lined my waterline and tightline using L’oreal Voluminous Smoldering eyeliner.

10. Using Kate Sharp eyeliner, I created a large winged eyeliner along my upper lashline.

11. I curled my lashes and applied Maybelline Express Volume Turbo Boost mascara on both top and bottom lashes.

12. I filled my brows in using an angled eyebrow brush, as well as a mixture of MAC Omega and MAC Brun eyeshadow.

13. I applied Pow from the iDivine V1 palette under the brow and on the inner corner of the eyes.

14. I applied Urban Decay Naked foundation using a foundation brush from the center of my face, blending it outwards.

15. Under the eyes, I applied MAC Pro Conceal/Correct concealer in Medium.

16. I powdered my face using CoverFX translucent powder.

17. I applied MAC Blunt as a contour on the hollows of the cheeks and sides of the nose.

18. I applied Benefit Coralista on the cheeks and completed the look by applying Tarte Lipsurgence in Hope.
