I AM ABOUT TO GIVE UP

on this project of mine; I decided to use each and every shade in my Natasha Denona Blue Pruple Palette.  I am not saying use up, I am saying use just for "once". Given that how much I wanted it and how much I paid for it, I assumed this would be the only thing I want to use till the rest of my life.  Believe sunny, It is all wonderful but simply put "too much".  I get great pleasure looking at it but it is overwhelming.  I realize I do not want to use this many metallic shades all the time and I am kind of a MAC girl at hearth I guess; Sorry "Hearth wants what it wants".  I prefer blown out smokey looks.

If Natasha Denona Palettes were coming with a significant range of mattes, I would be in line.  I purchased the Safari Palette right away but those mattes turned out to be editorial ones as well.  So I am a little bit tired from this much metallic and vibrant tones at this time.  I want to go back to my good old MAC ones and put my self in rehab with mediocre, error free pigmentation.

For today's look, we are clinging to mattes.  It is a colorful look but I enjoyed it.  Teal and blue is such a energizing combination and goes great with casual jeans and t shirt attire.

Also, I come across 3 shades in the blue purple palette that are very similar in terms of formulation to Safari Palette mattes: steel blue, powder blue, and smoke apply exactly the same as the mattes in the safari palette.  They are creamy, vibrant, and opaque. However, blending them is is very different and something I am not super confidant just yet. 

I think I still have half of the palette to go.  I have one more look lined up but I am losing my enthusiasm little bit.  The great part is these eye shadows can easy be removed from the pan. This can make it easier to combine them with other mattes.  I will try. 

I hope you like this one.
