For this look I used the Smashbox eyeshadow palette in Smokebox from the the Girls on Film Collection. Before I get to the look, here are some pictures and swatches of the colours from the palette which was sent to me a couple of weeks ago for review purposes.
Smashbox Girls On Film - Smokebox eyeshadow palette
Smashbox Smokebox Palette |
The palette costs $64.95AUD at Kit Cosmetics and you get 6 colours that work well together.
On the top row you get:
- matte beige/cream
- shimmer taupe
- matte black with silver sparkle
On the bottom row you get
- shimmer lilac/silver
- matte purple
- matte navy with silver sparkle
Swatches
As you can see from the swatches below, the 4 darker colours are very pigmented, the 2 lighter ones are a bit more powderier with less colour pay off.
I've only ever worn these eyeshadows in the evenings, for maximum 5 hours, and have experienced no creasing or rubbing off. Overall I think it's a great palette to have around for doing nighttime smokey eye looks. It's actually my first ever product from Smashbox and so far I'm impressed.

ReplyDeleteStunning Smokey eye Lilit... You look BEAUTIFUL!!!
I want to run out and get this palette immediately! I am SO IN LOVE with your navy smokey eye!
(Excuse the excitement, as you can tell, I really love it! :))
wow, you look fantastic! I am a bit like you,I tend to do the bright lip more, but you are convincing me that eyes work too with those pictures!
ReplyDeleteLaiqah - awww thanks hun, it feels weird doing a dark eye and pale lips after my obsession with bright colours but I loved it. I need to see you with smokey eyes now, coz I think like me you've been favouring the lips more lately.
ReplyDeleteTegan - thanks so much, doing bright lips is just so much easier than doing a smokey eye but yes sometimes it's worth making the effort!
