Sleek MakeUP i-Divine Ultra Mattes V1 Brights
Bright make-up doesn't have to be loud!
My post on this may be over a week late but I first broke the news to you in this blog post that Sleek were to launch two new palettes, purely consisting of a matte texture.
I was sent the V1 Brights palette. At first I looked at these colours and thought 'Wow!!' they do take you a back in all it's bright glory and you may wonder what could you do with them now if your not very adventurous it is possible to get a look out of this that can look - mild and everyday wearable.
TOP ROW : CHILL · POUT · SUGARLITE · DRAGON FLY · PUCKER · BAMMI
BOTTOM ROW : CRICKET · BOIT · STRIKE · FLOSS · CRETE · POW!
I have to just point out it's hard for me to find ANY yellow eyeshadow that appears well on my skin..as bright as I want it...this yellow swatch so far has made me fall in love.
First 6 swatches were done on top of UPP - Eden the others were done on top of a concealer.
One thing you may have noticed that's different with the palette is the way the shadows themselves are presented. Sleek always previously had the criss cross "wafer" effect to them :

This is the 'Au Naturel' palette |
Without them it does make the eyeshadow feel softer and the brush does glide over them - not that it didn't before mind. Just I know some people like myself can be quite anal regarding 'change' with designs on some products. It was something I noticed first off but I can deal with it.
Colour pay off - of course with Sleek as always is a winner and for a drug store brand it once again holds their own against others and high end brands!!
- Now I need to get my hands on the dark version next week - clear winner in my book - any chance of a nude matte palette maybe?!
Now onto the look I done using mostly Sleek products :

ReplyDeleteThe other palette included in this post is the "Au Naturel" palette
DeleteOh my god I can;t wait for this to come out, that'll take my Sleek palette collection up to 14!!! Ha ha, bit of an addict, your beautiful looks you did has totally sold it to me as we are of similar skintone.
ReplyDeleteI am too. They are such a good investment and I believe you will love the pigmentation in these. Yay aw thanks so much lovely
Deleteoh my goodness! I love the bright palette, but I don't suit bright colours on my eyes - it makes them even smaller than they already are! But I really wish I could wear more colourful eye shadows, I'd buy that in an instant! I'm so drawn to colourful things x
ReplyDeleteThat's such a shame :( I sometimes myself can be scared of bright colours cos I don't want a clown look happening lol. Such a pretty palette to have in the drawer x
DeleteWhat's the difference between the 2 pink ones?
ReplyDeletex
"Pout" is more of a hot pink than "Pucker" xo
