Oh Myyy! This took some time. The matte eyeshadows from Devinah Coametics have been a tough nut to crack for me. They are very similar to matte eyeshadows in ABH Subculture Palette, so beware if you do not wanna pull your hairs with frustration. Do not try them for the first time when you are rushing to work. Just warning, Love....
Actually, I am exaggerating just a little bit???? First of all, I am dumping Concrete Minerals Electric Eye Primer under everything and with some formulations it just makes things complicated. These eyeshadows are very dry; they have very high concentration of pigment. So I prefer packing them instead of swiping them on the eyelid.
Because they are very dry, layering shades on top of each other is a bitch. But something I do to blend the edges:
- Apply the color over sticky base ( cream eyeshadow) with patting
- Blend the edges with a lighter color
- Go back to the original color and blend one more time to get a non patchy, blended look
This is getting so scientific, I am taking a coffee break here.
The other problem is they are crumbling due to their super soft nature. Sucks a great deal because how am I going to travel with them. You know what I mean??? Yes, that precious one week vacation we use eventually....
Overall, still playing with these and good news is they passed AMC Pure Pigment test. I tried combining them and they stayed strong without fading.
The matte slection for Devinah Cosmetics is yummy. Beware, you will get sucked in right away.
Here is my somewhat ok look. It took me 2 weeks to finally appload and this look was the worst of all I accomplished in two weeks. Struggle is real.
Enjoy!!! ( I guess)
