URBAN DECAY AMMO PALETTE EYE MAKEUP TUTORIAL

Hey everyone, I was just browsing through my SD card and saw the photos of this EOTD, I had said would be my next post and I totally forgot about it. So here it is my latest eye makeup of the day (EOTD), using the URBAN DECAY AMMO PALETTE. This palette has URBAN DECAY's best selling eye shadows and I love it because the colors are so well put together that they work across all skin tones.
Here are the pictures:

The Urban Decay Ammo Palette one of my cherished and prized (priced) possession. Its very versatile. For this look I used three colors from this palette.
LAST CALL: A PLUM MAUVE SHADE
SIN: A WARM ROSY CHAMPAGNE SHADE
POLYESTER BRIDE: A FROSTY WHITE EYESHADOW

To achieve this look
1. After priming my lids with Urban decay primer potion I applied SIN eyeshadow all over the lids  including the tear duct area and also on the inner third part of the lower lashline.
2.  Next I took LAST CALL on a fluffy blending brush  and applied it on the outer corner of the lids and slowly bringing it up to the crease ans blending it along.
3. I blended the LAST CALL eye shadow and brought it all the way in on the lids but using soft strokes so that it fades into a rosy pink color towards the inner corner. And taking a small pencil brush I applied the LAST CALL eyeshadow on the lower lash line smudged it.
4. Next I took the POLYESTER BRIDE EYESHADOW and used it as highlight under the brow bone.
5. Used MAYBELLINE GEL EYELINER and COLOSSAL MASCARA and false eye lashes from ARDELL, to finish up the look.

EYESHADOW BRUSH : COLORBAR REVIEW AND USES

Hello friends, today's post is going to be a review on Colorbar Eyeshadow Brush.

Makeup brushes are to makeup enthusiasts what knives are to chefs. They are your weapons  or tools without which you cant function.You can never have too many. This is what I say to myself each time I get a new makeup brush.brush

My latest acquisition being the COLORBAR eyeshadow brush. Well what prompted me to by it was its cute look. Colored bristles and by the looks of it it looked quiet nice.

So lets begin...

Its priced at INR 250 and is easily available online or at colorbar outlets.

What does colorbar say about this brush

Now when I opened it I was pleasantly surprised to find the bristles to be very soft. I was impressed. This is my first brush from Colorbar.

Upon looking closely I could see that the bristles are tightly and closely packed, making it easier to pick up more product and the flat shape ensures you can distribute the eyeshadow evenly.

Love it. Though I have one major issue with this brush, its the size. I found it rather small for an eyeshadow brush. If only it were a little big bigger it would have score those brownie points from. 

But I still recommend it.

 Confused? Dont be.

This brush is ideal for applying cream bases. Maybelline COLOR TATTOO to MAC paint pots. This eyeshadow brush will help distributing the cream base evenly on the lids.

Next this eyeshadow brush is perfect for applying eyeshadow on the lower lashline and also blending it. The bristles are tight so there wouldnt be worries of fall out, if you tap off the excess product.

You can also apply your eyeshadow in the inner tear duct with this brush perfectly. The small size makes it perfect for that purpose.

While doing a cut crease this brush is optimal as you can get a dense and precise application with this brush.

These are just a few ways I use this brush, not for applying the eye shadow on the lids, I find it small for that purpose, but if you have smaller eyes, or lesser space to work with hen this brush is just perfect for you.

As they dont judge a book by its cover. This brush didnt work for me the way it was meant to but it works just as well in other ways. Here is the comparison with other flat eyeshadow brushes.
