Relic – a bright jewel-toned yellow gold – is one of my favourite eyeshadows from the Kat Von D Saint and Sinners Eyeshadow Palette (click here to read about this product, see photos and view swatches). In this look, I used it on the middle of the lid to create a bright, highlighted effect on the eyes.

Products
Base: Too Faced Shadow Insurance Primer
Crease: Sanctuary (dark pearly taupe-brown)
Inner Lid and Outer Lid: Revelation (deep satin brown with copper and gold sparkles)
Middle of Lid: Relic (metallic jewel yellow gold)
Blend Between Lid Parts: Martyr (medium matte warm brown)
Middle Lower Lashline: Relic (metallic jewel yellow gold)
Inner and Outer Lower Lashline: Revelation (deep satin brown with copper and gold sparkles)
Highlight: Amen (light matte beige)
Black mascara (upper and lower lashes)
Steps
1. Apply Too Faced Shadow Insurance all over the lid as a base. You can either use your fingers or a flat synthetic brush (e.g. MAC 242).
2. Sweep Sanctuary into the crease using a windshield wiper motion (e.g. MAC 217).
3. Take a flat shader brush (e.g. MAC 239) and pat Revelation on the inner lid and the outer lid. Keep the middle part of the lid free of colour as we will apply Relic there in the next step.
4. Take a flat shader brush (e.g. MAC 239) and pat Relic on to the middle of the lid.
5. Take a flat shader brush (e.g. MAC 239) and use Martyr to blend between the edges of Relic and Revelation. I like applying just a little over the edge of each colour to help blend away any harsh edges.
6. Using a crease/blender brush (e.g. MAC 217) or a pointed crease brush (e.g. MAC 226), sweep Amen on to the browbone to highlight and blend out the edges of the crease colour.
7. Take a flat liner brush (e.g. Kiko Flat Definer Brush) and apply Revelation to the inner and outer lower lashline. Take the same brush and apply a little Relic to the middle lower lashline. Use the brush to blend the two shades together so there are no harsh lines.
8. Apply plenty of black mascara to the top and bottom lashes.

Make-Up By Saira Lee 
Pretty! Love the sparkles. I recently got the Urban Decay Heavy Metals palette. Do you have that one yet? Would love to see what looks you create with its bold colors! Lots of options!
Thanks Julie! No, I don’t have the Urban Decay Heavy Metals Palette. It looks super pretty, though! Are there any shades from the palette that you would like ideas for in terms of combinations? I could always see if I could come up with some ideas for you, perhaps using similar shades that I have in make-up collection.
No necessarily, I just thought you would like the palette and be able to come up with some beautiful looks, since there are some unusual shades. I’ve been having fun playing with it and wearing colors that I never thought I would!
Great to hear you have been enjoying playing around with the palette, Julie! I was very tempted to buy it but I had already bought the Kat Von D Palette, followed by the Too Faced Chocolate Gold Palette, and so I couldn’t justify buying another palette, lol! It does look beautiful, though!
What sort of colours have you been trying out that you never thought you would wear? I remember there were some really beautiful, bold colours in the palette, along with some gorgeous neutrals.
