I’m a huge fan of the Kiko Water eyeshadows and so I couldn’t resist picking up another one when they had a sale in store. I just love the shimmery, candy pink hue of this particular Water eyeshadow. I mixed it up a little by applying purple in the crease and and a silver liquid liner along the upper lashline.

For this particular look, I took inspiration from the print on one of my favourite skirts. I love the combination of the gold, teal and black and thought it would look really interesting on the eyes.
I used the Urban Decay XX Vice Ltd Reloaded Palette to create this look. You can read more about this palette, see photos and view swatches here.

This is the first of my looks using the new Urban Decay Moondust Palette. I really wanted to create a smokier look using one of the Moondust eyeshadows and so I used a deep metallic cranberry paintpot as a base. This particular paint pot adds a really pretty plum hue to Element eyeshadow.
Tip: Experimenting with different colours of eyeshadow base can bring out different tones in whatever eyeshadow you choose to use.

This is the first of my looks using the new Urban Decay XX Vice Ltd Reloaded Palette. I really wanted to try out some of the greens in the palette but I also liked the idea of adding in a little pop of red in the outer v. If the red (Gash) is too much for you, you could always substitute it with a green (like Misdemeanor) or a brown (like Smog or Twice Baked) from the palette.

This look is a slightly brighter version of the ‘Twist of Colour’ look I posted recently. For this look, I used a bright, shimmery silver on the lid, cork brown in the crease and a ‘pop’ of bright blue in the outer v part of the lid.
Tip: The beauty of this look is that you can adapt it using any other colour in the outer v. Try pink, purple, olive green, charcoal and black for a twist on the same look.
Note: You can use any brand of eyeshadow you like which has similar shades to re-create this look (if you don’t have the Vice 2 palette).

Adding in a bright colour to the outer v is a easy way to introduce colour without it being overpowering. For this look, I pepped up a relatively neutral silver and brown eye combination with a ‘pop’ of emerald green.
Tip: The beauty of this type of look is that you can adapt it using any colour in the outer v. Try swapping in purples, blues, coppers and blacks for an interesting twist on the same look.
Note: You can use any brand of eyeshadow you like which has similar shades to re-create this look (if you don’t have the Vice 4 palette).

When I started creating this look, I wasn’t quite sure what combination I was going to come up with. All I knew was that I wanted to try out the new Kiko 84 light green eyeshadow that I purchased recently. I ended up using purple and peach shades alongside the green. I think the combination is really fresh and spring-like, perfect for whenever you want something fun but soft on the eyes.

MAC Patina is a really interesting eyeshadow, in that it can look more gold, taupe or green, depending on what other shades you use alongside it. I combined Patina with green, brown and taupe tones to bring out the different flecks in the shade.
