Hi hi,
I got one more Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill intense eyeshadow recently, all thanks to Jolyn who went to HK recently. This is in the color #06, and it's called Khaki Pulse.

This is a easy to use color that you can build up to a smokey intense metallic smokey eyes, or just a light sweep all over the lids for some definition and natural colour. It's 'natural' but not boring.
If you want a precise and intense application, use a paddle type of brush to apply the product [eg MAC239 type of brush] and if you want to blend out the edges, or just want a light sweep of color all over, use a fluffy dense brush. [eg MAC 217 type of brush].
I recommend using a eyeshadow primer underneath for maximum lasting and crease-proof power.
Color is more vibrant and shimmery in real life.
Sorry for the recent half face pictures, my other eye is a litttle nasty, you see what I mean in the last pic there. And I feel I am getting so pouffy! Argh. Holidays are here, and I need to detox and de-fat myself. :(
Everything else on my face:
Clarins Beauty Flash Balm, Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation, MAC Cheeky Bronze, Oriental lip balm, MAC powdersurge on lower lids, shu uemura pro-gel cealer
How I apply this product to achieve the look:
I use a primer first, which is the UDPP. Then I apply a flesh colored eyeshadow all over browbone for some subtle highlight. Then I packed on the color on my lids, just making sure the color is the most intense nearest to the lashes.. and it gradually blends/ fades upwards to the crease -- using a fluffy brush like MAC217. Once you are happy with the blending, you can go back and intensify the color on the eye but using a MAC239 to pack on the color.
The multi-dimensional colors --both warm and cool toned metallic shades makes this neutral color very chic and again, makes it looks like you have spent time to achieve the overall effect, when it's really just slap it on and go. :)
See that corner of my eyes, it is kind of raw at the moment! :(
Got a manicure and pedicure today, and these are the colors I brough along with me.
on my toes is a MAC nail polish, the name escapes my mind right now.
[edit] thanks to Jennifer, it's Soiree! :)
on my fingernails is a combination of Essie Topless & Barefoot with Kisses & Bises
I have a couple more GA Eyes to Kill which I have yet to feature, but instead of just doing haul entry, I will only feature them when I finally got to using them in LOTDs. Stay tuned!
Thanks for looking!
