INGLOT Pigment & Gel Liner Swatches

I finally got around to it! Here are some swatches of the Inglot Gel liners that I have as well as the AMC Pure Pigments! I haven't seen many swatches of the pigments online, so I figured I would post my own. Both the Gel Liners and the Pigments have strong color payoff and you only need a small amount. The pigment swatches you see are on top of the Inglot Eyeshadow Base (the medium beige shade- there are 3 a light, a medium, and a dark).

Inglot AMC Gel Liners retail for: $ 12.00 US
Inglot AMC Pure Pigments retail for: $ 14.00 US

Now for the good stuff!

**Click on the images to enlarge them**

These are the liners inside the cute little container!

Last but NOT least....the pigment swatches!

Purples

Blues/Greens

Greens 

Pinks/Corals 

Yellows/Golds/Oranges 

Neutrals 

With the exception of 87 (intense matte black) all the shades above range in finish from shimmer, to pearl, to glitter like.

If you would like to know how some of these colors compare to similar colors of a different brand, let me know & I will do a side by side for you! ( IF I have the color you are inquiring about  :o))

ENJOY!

Simple Cool Brown Eye

I have been quite busy the last few days BUT I thought I would throw this quick little eye look in until I can get my Make Up For Ever eyeshadow swatches up. (My goal is to have that posted by this evening!) In the mean time here is a quick and simple look using cool brown tones. This look can be made more dramatic by adding more of the darkest crease color, or more natural by omitting the darkest crease color all together. Enjoy!

(I LOVE how I can see my hand and my camera in my eye! LOL- Sorry!)

Moving on...

Brows: MAC Spiked Brow Pencil

Highlight: MAC Prolongwear Concealer NW20, w/ MAC 242 Brush

Eyelid Base: MAC Bamboom Paint, w/ MAC 242 Brush

Eyelid: MAC Gold Stroke Pigment*, w/ MAC 242 Brush

(Fabulous Felines Collection, Limited Edition)*

Crease: MAC Saddle Eyeshadow, w/ MAC 224 Brush

Outer Crease: MAC Bloodline Pigment*, w/ MAC 224 Brush

(Fabulous Felines Collection, Limited Edition)*

Lower Lash line color: Bamboom Paint w/ MAC 242 Brush

Mascara: MAC Haute & Naughty Lash*

* I use the natural effect mascara (pink top) for my base, then I applied the dramatic effect mascara (purple top)

Tarina Tarantino Magic Hour Cream Shadow - Nebula

Soooo....I have been looking at this cream eyeshadow for a few weeks and finally broke down and bought it today (thank goodness as there were only 2 left @ my local Sephora!). The Magic Hour Cream Shadow is a lightweight, water resistant/ no crease cream formula that can be used as an eyeshadow or an eyeliner ($19.00 @ Sephora & Sephora.com). There are other colors available in this formula but I did not purchase them as I have similar cream shadows in other lines. This one was unique. It is a white color with a blue/ violet duochrome. (Think MAC Vellum eyeshadow (discontinued) in a water resistant, cream form.

The color payoff is better than expected if you layer it, OR you do a single application for a more sheer wash of color. Below I put together a series of quick looks, using the product as a base color. Please excuse the lack of mascara/ liner on the first 2 softer looks.....i did these in a bit of a hurry...(sorry). These colors are limited edition so I am unsure of how long they will be available. To see the other colors, and get more information please click on this link:
