FOTD variations with RBR Delicate Hummingbird.




time to give the name giving product for this blog some more attention! so last weekend i was playing with it a little bit again and now i want to show you how different this shadow can appear depending on what colour you combine it with...
but to be true i foremost intended to work with my new Hakuhodo brushes a bit more ;P



first what i used for the face:


foundation: Vichy Aera Teint Pure in 23 Clair/Ivory (#1 - review) applied with Hakuhodo G5557 2mm Powder & Liquid Brush round/angled (#2 - this is a new one and will be reviewed soon).

cream blush: Illamasqua Rude (#3 - review) applied with Hakuhodo G5552 4mm Powder & Liquid Brush round/angled (#4 - also will be reviewed soon)

powder: Chanel White Essentiel Brightening & Smoothing Loose Powder (#5 - review) applied with Lunasol Powder Brush N (#6 - review)

powder blush: Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess Sea Star Bronzing Blush (#7 - review) applied with Hakuhodo G5519BkSL Blush Brush (#8 - will be reviewed soon)


for the rest of the make up:


brows: MAC Copperplate eyeshadow (#1) applied with Louise Young LY30 Brow Brush (#2)

lips: on the lips i only had lip balm (Crazy Rumours Fresh Grapefruit Juice Lip Balm, #13)

the eyeshadow variations:

it's interesting how Delicate Hummingbird looks like a plummy taupe when combined with a bronze eyeshadow and its purple tinge is much stronger when i wear it with a purple shade.
it almost looks like two different eyeshadows!


#1 - combined with bronze 


for the "bronze" eyeshadow variation i used: Rouge Bunny Rouge eyeshadow in Delicate Hummingbird (#3 - review) on the lid and along the lower lashline, Giorgio Armani Eyes To Kill Silk Eyeshadow in #6 (#4 - review) in the crease and outer part of lower lashline, MAC Retrospeck (#5) in the tearduct area.
everything applied with the MAC 242 brush (#8) and blended out with Edward Bess Luxury Eye Brush (sorry, not on picture - review here).
then i added black liquid liner (L'Oreal Super Liner, #9), curled lashes (Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler, #10) and applied mascara (Maybelline False Lashes Waterproof, #11 and sample of Shiseido The Perfect Mascara as top layer, #12)

#2 - combined with purple


for the "purple" eyeshadow variation i used: Rouge Bunny Rouge eyeshadow in Delicate Hummingbird (#3 - review) on the lid and along the lower lashline. L'Oreal Color Indefectible eyeshadow in Purple Obsession (#6 - review) in the outer corner. MAC Vex (#7) in the tearduct area.
everything applied with the MAC 242 brush (#8) and blended out with Edward Bess Luxury Eye Brush (sorry, not on picture - review here).
then i added black liquid liner (L'Oreal Super Liner, #9), curled lashes (Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler, #10) and applied mascara (Maybelline False Lashes Waterproof, #11 and sample of Shiseido The Perfect Mascara as top layer, #12)

  4. Ich finde das rauchige Lila passt SO gut zu deinem Hautton – bei mir wirkt sowas immer eher so wie bunter Hund, oder ich mach was falsch :D
