Projects ~ Looks With the 88 Matte Pearlescent ES Palette: Smokey Nude With Heavy Eyeliner

'My eyes healed again from the Catrice Eyeshadow base adventure, which you will find <here>, so time for another make up look with the 88 Matte Pearlescent ES Palette, which I got from T-Mart. I made an smokey nude eye with heavy liner this time.'

'I started with color A4, a light shimmery white golden color all over my lid. Color B10 is an middle brown/ taupe color I used from the middle to the outer corners. In my outer V I darkened it up with color H11, an metallic black. Before I lighten up my look with color A1 under my brows, I blended the colors H11, B10 and A4 very lightly with an big blending brush. Finished it with NYX Jumbo Pencil in Black Bean on my waterline, along with MUA single Eyeshadow Shade 20 over it to set the Jumbo Pencil. Made with an japanese felt tip eyeliner above my lashes an winged line. Finished the look with my mascara.'

Projects ~ Looks With the 88 Matte Pearlescent ES Palette: Blue Breezes Over Seas

'Time to do another look with the 88 Matte Pearlescent ES Palette from T-Mart. You can read my review <here>. This time I created a blue eye look, which I called Blue Breezes Over Seas. Hope this is helpful to you all.'

'Color D7 wasn't easy to get on my lid. I really had to dab it on to build the color. Same for color G7, I really had to dab it on. Off course I used my eyeshadowbase first. It's better to use an white base underneath these blues. My brow bone color is A11, and it gave me an nice hint of white. I used color H7 more like an liner, which worked really well. Overall, I think with an white eyeshadowbase, everything would come out more. These pics doesn't these colors any justice anyway. In real life it pops a bit better without the white base, but you don't need to expect that it would last that long.'

Projects ~ Looks With the 88 Matte Pearlescent ES Palette: Double Chocolate Mint, Please

'Here are some other looks I did with the 88 Matte Pearlescent ES Palette from T-Mart. I choose for chocolate and mint colors this time. These looks are pretty simple, but it's more to show you how the shadows perform on the lid. So let's take a look.'

'First this more natural look. I used some of the taupe and brown toned colors on my lids, and spiced it up with one of the greens on the waterline of my eyes. These taupe colors gives clearly an better pay off then just only swatched on my hand, which you can find, between the lines, <here>. I had no trouble with picking the taupe colors on my brushes. I think these colors don't give an outstanding pay off in one swipe. However, they are build able.'

'Next I tried some greens on my lids, spiced up with a taupe underneath the waterline. I find the greens hard to build, and it takes a lot of effort to place it on nicely. I only want to use these greens only as an liner from now on, because it isn't that popping. You can always try an white ES base, to make it more pop. I liked the results from the Spiced Up Corals post more.'

Projects ~ Looks With the 88 Matte Pearlescent ES Palette: Spiced Up Corals

'I promised to make more 88 Matte Pearlescent Palette looks which I recently got from T-Mart. Read the actual review <here>. I'm trying to keep it simple, cause in the end we only all want to see how the shadows perform on the lids, right? I kick off with some Spiced Up Corals.'

'It was a real miracle when color #1 showed up on my lids. Most light coral- orange colors doesn't show up very well on my lids. It gives me a nice flush of coral in my inner corner. I was surprised with color #2. It showed up immediately, and after building it a little you got this as a result. Color #3 is also vibrant enough for me.'

My mascara wasn't that nice... Excuse me for that ^_^

'I had to warm up color #1 to get it on my brush, but overall, I didn't had a lot of trouble to getting it on. Color #2 had a little fall out, but was easy to remove. Overall nice colors for experimenting.'
