Guess who just got a contouring palette. I'm gonna be completely honest: there isn't a whole lot of differences between a contour palette and a matte eyeshadow.. Which I usually use to contour instead. The one I got was ULTA brand and created for light to medium skin with a neutral/cool tones. What I liked the most was the size of the pans, and the handy little shading guide that came with it.. That, I also didn't use. I just didn't need it, looking at the diagram and then looking at my bare face, I probably would have looked like pennywise in drag.. maybe. Anyway, I just want to point out that adding contour extended my routine by an hour! Blending everything and correcting the tone? Not a fan of it, but I'll take the teachable moment with a grain of salt, gotta remember not everything in store is made *just for me* haha. Here's what I'm working with:
- ULTA CONTOUR PALETTE
- ESSENCE SUPERFINE EYELINER PEN
- ESSENCE EYELASH FIBRES
- WET N' WILD EYELINER PENCIL, GREY
- Rimmel ScandalEyes Rockin' Curves Mascara, Carbon Black
- NICKA COSMETICS LIP COLOR, BLACK
- RIMMEL LIP LINER, CLEAR
- IMAN COSMETICS FOUNDATION STICK, CLAY 3
- SEPHORA MATTIFYING COMPACT, D55
- MAYBELLINE THE NUDES EYESHADOW PALETTE
- FLOWER BEAUTY SKIN PRIMER BY DREW BARRYMORE
I felt like I had a wet blanket on my face, but you know what they say about beauty being a pain. Anyway, I'm pretty satisfied with this look, I feel like I properly channeled the late nineties grunge aesthetic I grew up on. It's funny how little things like that make their way back into your life, I had no idea how affected I was, and it feels like it just crept over me while I was working on this look. This is definitely going into my look book, I am so with it.
