Hey all, a few days ago I saw that our own lovely Erin M is participating in the "palette parade challenge," and naturally I was intrigued. So, this challenge is to use one palette per 5-day workweek, until you run out of palettes. No repeats :) the palette I ended up with this week is my Monarch palette, and this is my day 3 look, the first one I've liked enough to post (and I think that's just because of the lipstick, maybe) but oh well, I like it! I used:

Monarch Palette shades Summerfly, Disintegration and Tiny Death
Hourglass Script Precision liner in Jett
Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencil in Hustle
Per-fekt Lash Perfection Gel
OCC Cosmetic Color Pencil in Black Dahlia
Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Train Bleu

Thoughts? Suggestions? Opinions? How can I make it better? I'm sort of annoyed that the eyeshadow colors won't show up well in photos, they're darker in person. That's the part that frustrates me most about this palette, it doesn't photograph well, because everything is ultra shimmery.

Seriously Erin I'm so upset about this!! I wore a flipping SMOKEY EYE on Monday, and it looked like a soft, poorly blended brown shadow look in photos.

Thanks Monique =)

I want to do this but can you explain it to me.?:)

Explain what, MaKenzie, the shadow placement? It's super easy: I applied Tiny Death under my brow and down to my crease, then I applied Disintegration all over my lid and slightly into my crease, and then I applied Summerfly with a rather heavy hand to my crease. then I blended it all out with my old Sephora #29 blending brush. After all that, I applied the Hourglass liner in Jett to my upper lash line by pressing the side of it as close to my lashes as possible. That still looked too dark to me, so I applied a bit more eyeshadow over that, so the line wasn't so harsh. I applied Hustle to my lower lashline, and then I applied my mascara =) That's all.

I Iove how red Train Bleu looks on your though, on me it looks really burgundy. I still like it, but I can't always use it for what I want.

Hannah K.

Thanks Erin :) yeah, I actually like it as well, on me it has more of a violet/berry/red tone to it that makes my eyes look really green in person. It's an interesting shade, not what I was originally expecting, but I'm so happy I have it!

Oh thanks, but I meant the challenge. lol. I'm glad you explained you look too though. Now maybe I can recreate it sometime.:))))

Oh do we use 1 palette for a whole week at a time?

Apr 23, 2014

Hannah K.

The challenge is, use one palette for five days, (weekends don't count) then use a different palette for the next five days, and so on and so forth, until you run out of palettes to do it with. Does that make sense?

Apr 23, 2014

MaKenzie T.

Yes. haha, whew. Don't know why it took so much for me to understand it. I guess it has just been one of those days. Lol. Thanks Hannah, have a marvelous day!:)))
