Pastels Using Aromaleigh Opulent Lustres





Here's a simple (no falsies!) look using my Aromaleigh Opulent Lustre shadows. This was the first time I tried them, and just like their cousins, the Elemental Lustres (also from Aromaleigh), these are best applied dry, because they are uber-metallic and would look over-the-top when foiled. However, it was Amarante from the Bete Noire collection that pulled the look together. Having used very shimmery products, I applied the matte shadow in the Coastal Scents 28 Piece Neutral Palette to highlight the browbone. All products Aromaleigh unless otherwise stated.


Apply MAC Soft Ochre paint pot over lid, brows, and apply UD Primer Potion on lower lashline. Using a fluffy shader brush, apply MAC Cash Flow paint pot on lid.




Apply Gingko dry on inner half of the lid including the inner corners using a stiff shader brush (Loew Cornell Maxine's Mop 3/8"). Use quick, patting motions when applying the shadow.


Using the other side of the same brush, apply Dragonfly dry on mid to outer lid, blending into Gingko.


Using a fluffy shader brush, apply Amarante on the outer lid.


Apply more Amarante on the outer V and crease using a fluffy shader brush. Using the same brush, apply Tapestry on the outer V and crease, blending everthing using the MAC 224 brush.


Using Stila No. 5 brush, apply Shadow B from Coastal Scents 28 Neutral Palette (see pic above) on the browbone. Using Sonia Kashuk mini-contour/detail brush, apply Dragonfly on inner to mid-lower lashline, and Amarante on outer lower lashline. Line eyes using Indelible gel liner in Endangered. Apply Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Zero on waterline and tightline. Apply mascara.

Chrystal- That's what I thought too, and honestly, it's a bit too shimmery for my taste.
