We have named our second free Mineral Makeup Eyeshadow recipe in our Holiday series Champagne Glimmer. It's a shimmery pink blend with nice peachy undertones that seems to compliment many skintones.The recipe:
3 parts Sericite
2 parts Peach Shimmer mica
1 part Sparkle Violet mica
1 part Rose Pearl mica
We used our mini pigment scoops for the parts - but you can use whatever measuring tool you have handy.
Blending directions: Place everything in your container (we like to use the classy black lip pots) and mix well. That's it!
Foiling Technique: Here's how you can get a little extra shimmer and shine from your handmade eyeshadow blends.Dip your makeup brush in water and then in the eyeshadow. The eyeshadow powder will stick to your brush. Then use a surface (like the lid of the container) to blend up the eyeshadow and water. You want a smooth flowing blend, not a paste.
Step 1: Apply your favorite foundation to your eyelids and around your eyes - blend in well. If you have more mature eyes, a dab of moisturizer under the foundation will help the foundation go on more smooth and even.Step 2: Paint the wet Champagne Glimmer onto the upper lid. Be sure to look down until it dries so you don't get eyeshadow where you don't want it!
Step 3: Apply liquid liner to the the upper lid (for the example real life photo, we used a blend of our brown oxide and black oxide and used the same foiling technique with water). Smudge a deep brown eyeshadow along the lower lash line and apply Mascara.
And that's it! I have to admit, this isn't a look I'll be sporting this season. But maybe some of you more adventurous types will give it a shot and send us photos?
