Sleek Bad Girl i-Divine Palette Look #2

Decided to do a smoky green eye look with the Sleek Bad Girl i-Divine Palette today.

First, I applied Beauté de Kosé Eye Fantasist GR754 Emerald Mist as the base shade all over the lid. Instead of using the included sponge applicator, I used the Giorgio Armani holiday travel brush set and an Anna Sui small eyeshadow brush for applying the eyeshadows today.

I used the Anna Sui brush to apply Intoxicated (medium green) from the inner corners to the middle of the lid, Abyss (dark purple-toned blue) from the middle of the lid to the outer corners, Blade (medium grey) in the middle of the lid and just above the crease, and Obnoxious (purple) along the outer half of the lower lashline. Next, I used the Armani eye shader shade brush to apply Gullible (light beige) over the browbone area and the eye contour brush to apply Innocence (pearl white) at the inner corners and along the lower lashline. I finished by lining the upper lashline with Heroine Make Smooth Liquid Liner and applying Visee Lash Wide Impact (Curl Long) BK002 mascara.

For the rest of the look, I used Skin79 Lovely Girl BB Cream topped with a Paul & Joe face powder, Topshop Crushed Berry cream blush, Fresh Sugar Plum Tinted Lip Treatment, Lancome Teint Miracle Natural Light Creator Bare Skin Perfecting Corrector Pen #1 and K-Palette Real Lasting Eyebrow 01.

Again, I experienced quite a bit of powdery fallout on my under-eye area when applying Intoxicated and Abyss, but it could be easily cleaned up with some damp tissue. Some ladies may find green and purple to be an unusual combination but purple actually makes for a more interesting liner shade than black. Several Singaporean makeup artists often advise that for small Asian eyes, black eyeliner tends to look too harsh. In addition, lining both the upper and lower lashline in a circle of black only makes our eyes look even smaller.

I also tried out my new Panasonic Multi-styling straightener that I purchased at the DIY Dazzling workshop at Vivocity last weekend. It can be a tad laborious as you have to work with small sections of hair each time (plus my hair is very thick) and I definitely require more practice. Nevertheless, it was fun being able to create the curls using the Medium Curl attachment. The curls are soft and retain their shape well. I've considered going for digital/ceramic perms in the past but read that they don't last very long. So for me, the straightener is probably more useful as you can create different sized curls and at the end of the day, just wash it all out. Plus, it's cheaper than going for a perm!
