EOTD: Neutral Reddish Brown Eye Look

EOTD: Neutral Reddish Brown Eye Look

Guest Post by Reshma

Reshma created this reddish brown neutral look for us..

Products used:
Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Bad to the bronze as base.
MUA baked eyeshadow trio in Innocence
Makeup Geek eyeshadow in Cocoa Bear
Maybelline Mega Plush Mascara

Firstly apply the colour tattoo all over the lid as a base and keep it under the crease. Next apply the dark greenish brown shade from the MUA trio to the entire eyelid <number marked (1) in the picture> and also to the lower lashline.
Then apply the (2) colour to the inner corners and (3) from the same MUA trio to the brow bone for a highlight.
Using a blending brush pick up some of that cocoa bear and blend the colour in the crease. Since cocoa bear is a matte colour it gives dimension to the look.
Finally using a black gel eyeliner just line the top and bottom lash line.
Curl the lashes and apply mascara and your done!

This is a quick simple look which looks great with brown eyes and medium skin tones.

You can also use similar colours that you may already have in your collection. As this is a very neutral look you can easily recreate it.

It comes in a glass jar with black plastic cap..similar to MAC Paint Pots or MUFE Aqua Creams..the texture is quite creamy and smooth..and it is pigmented enough too..and can also be builded..also comes with a brush along..which is quite good..and works well with these..

On me it stayed a good 7-8 hours with very little fading even without a primer or base. It could have stayed longer but I have not worn it longer than that..These are compared to MAC Paint Pots and said to be quite a good dupe at this price..and I totally agree !

I am always late and running and such 2 minute cream shadows which are super easy to work with and stay all day long are a boon for a person like me 😀

T:1 swipe, B: 2 swipes

Bad to the Bronze is a neutral taupey bronze with shimmer..a perfect everyday shade..can be worn to work or brunch with friends or anywhere practically..its quite a versatile shade..and one that would look good on all skin tones..fair, medium or dusky..

Here it is on me..

Rouge Bunny Rouge Long Lasting Cream Eyeshadow Review, Swatches

Rouge Bunny Rouge Long-lasting Cream Eye Shadow SILK AETHER Atlas Swallowtail Review, Swatches

Our utmost Long-lasting Cream Eye Shadows caress your skin with the ease of a butterfly wing beat, so that your lids appear smooth and renewed while coated with a semi-matt, slightly luminous colour.

It’s an irresistible combination of exceptionally long-wear, non-crease and smudge proof textures. The extreme long-lasting effect is delivered through the synthetic filming polymers which ensure a perfect appearance all day.

Our comfortable wand includes a light, velvet, creamy formula for silky gliding. Easy application is achieved by innovative silicon waxes and gels, in combination with Beeswax.

We added Para Cress Flower Extract to stimulate natural skin lifting capabilities and Coffee Extract to increase collagen and elastin production while also enhancing the natural skin defences.

All colours can be worn in two ways: a satin wash of colour with one layer, or a stronger application providing opaque, metallic and darker hues of the same colour.

Directions: You can line, shade and contour your eyes very sheer or in a more dramatic way with our Long-lasting Cream Eye Shadows, and you can blend them into each other too.

Prime your eyes before you apply eye shadows with our Luminous Skin Wand, Aqua Primer or Mattifying Primer to give the skin an even tone and to help the eye shadows to stay even longer.

You can blend the colour of our Long-lasting Cream Eye Shadows either with the included applicator or with our Mini Shader 005 from your lash line up to the brow bone.

To open up your eyes use a light colour under your brows and to deepen your gaze place a darker one in the crease and blend well.

MRP: €29.00 for 4 ml / 0.14 fl oz

Shades Available:

  • Batiste Grayling: Cool, true medium grey
  • Brocade Skipper: Blush champagne cream
  • Chiffon Ringlet: Semi-sheer satin mauvish chocolate with copper reflections
  • Velvet Fritillary: Greyish khaki with golden reflections
  • Atlas Swallowtail : Nude taupe with pewter reflections

RBR Long Lasting Cream Shadows are a buttery velvety formula for a silky glide..they came in a tube type black packaging with the typical RBR white designs..It has a wand with a slight tilted sponge applicator inside..which is quite easy to use directly too..they spread and blend like butter on the eyes..

One swipe gives a sheer wash of color for daytime looks or it can be builded for night time or heavy looks..

Stays put the whole day..no creasing no fading..

Atlas Swallowtail is described as a satin wash of nude taupe with pewter reflections buildable to darker, more opaque and metallic greyish hue of the same colour…on me with 2-3 coats its almost my skin color..its like my eyes but better..with just some slight shimmer which is hardly visible..but gives a polished look to the eyes..its perfect for those ‘no makeup’ makeup looks..I am yet to try building it super intense with more layers.


Pros:

1. Buttery velvety texture.
2. Pigmented.
3. Stays put whole day without creasing or fading.
4. Super easy to use..fingers or the wand both work well.
5. Travel friendly.
6. The shade is a neutral and would work for all..on me its almost my skin color..on fairer girls it would a sheer taupe..
7. Can be used as a base for powder eye shadows.

Cons:

1. Expensive.
2. Available only on Zuneta or RBR web boutique.
3. Comes up quite sheer in one swipe..needs 2-3 swipes for the color to show up on me..

Overall its a great everyday neutral shade..perfect for office too..and would work great on almost all skin tones..more so on fairer girls..
