Best Things in Beauty : Hourglass Visionare Eye Shadow Duo

the Hourglass Visionare Eye Shadow Duo in Suede is the last of 3 duos i ordered from Ludwig Beck in Munich (Hautnah in den 5 Höfen), i just did a phone call to the Hourglass counter there.
it costs 28€ in germany, while if you'd order from the uk on zuneta.com, you'd have to pay around 33€ (Beck provides free delivery for germany on orders 50€+, zuneta ships to germany for free from 65£+).
it comes in a sleek glossy dark bronze compact with that slide-around mirror i have shown you few times before. it's really high quality and well made. it has a magnetic closure and a very nice little brush that's dense and soft and works well applying the colours. if it weren't that short i would use it on a regular basis for sure.
this is a very nude and neutral duo containing a neutral cream shade with multicolour shimmers which is a beautiful inner corner and brow bone hightlight and a light cool taupe with multicolour shimmer (but less than in the cream shade so it appears more satiny) and golden microglitter specks. the taupe looks cooler on my eyes than in the hand-swatch.
both shades are velvety soft and pigmented, they're both rather light in colour so it's not as apparent as with darker shades. they melt into my skin beautifully and blend out seamlessly. Hourglass shadows last all day on me without creasing, even without a primer.
this is a palette i can even grab without a thinking and apply without a mirror, they are beautiful everyday colours and very work appropriated. they give a subtle definition for a soft polished look, i like to wear them with a black winged liner so i can boost up the look anytime with a reddish lip.
the Hourglass eyeshadow duos are a great deal - you get 6g (!) of great eyeshadow for your money. so this combination i can wholeheartedly recommend if you search for a neutral duo for daily use and like subtle looks.

this is how the Suede duo looks applied: i used the taupe on the whole lid and the cream as inner corner and brow bone highlight and on the lower lashline as well.
