Bare Escentuals: Smoky Metallic Eye


This is one of the new kits from the last Q show. This kit comes with Steam eye shadow, High Shine Pewter, Big and Bright liner in Black Gold, and a small tapered eye shadow brush.

Steam is an interesting colour. It looks like a very light grey with sparkle in it in the jar but when swatched it almost looks creamy with a hint of gold. On my eye it looks neutral--it does not look grey or gold.

High Shine Pewter is not like any of the other high shine colours I have. It is a mid-tone shade, it seems to have a gray-ish purple base with a pewter shine. It looks purple in some swatches and up close on my eye (when I was putting it on) it looked kind of purple to me, but once I blended it and looked at it again it really does look pewter.

Big and Bright Liner in Black Gold actually seems to be a very dark brown/black. I'm not sure you can really see that in the swatch of it but it is lighter than Intense black and clearly more brown. It does seem to have maybe just a hint of gold sparkle but it is very hard to tell for sure.

Overall I like these colours. I want to foil steam and see what happens. I don't have anything like either of these colours so I am very happy to add them to my collection.

Uninspired

Every once in a while I feel completely uninspired. That has been the case for the last two days. I try to think of good colour combinations but nothing seems right. So what I did today was to make my look around a colour that I haven't used in ages (gold dipped).

So this is what you get when nothing is coming to me.
