I wanted to do a grungy makeup look with gray tones and when I started to use the black eyeshadow, there were a lot of fallouts and they were quite hard to clean/fix since I have a foundation on. I also wasn't used to the "dark first, then light colors" technique so I ended up having a panda eyes with the black eyeshadow just being way too much from what I originally intended haha.
Since it was so messy, I tried saving it by adding shimmers on top which usually goes good with a black eyeshadow underneath. I wanted to use more colors this time but still mindful of the colors I choose so they don't look too random.
I loved it and surprisingly the shimmers also showed up very vividly on top of the black eyeshadow. I played a bit more by adding the pink lines and dots - which eventually reminded me of an alien design. :P
I added a purple glitter liner around my lips too, and a glitter lip gloss and I think they went well with each other.
This is the eyeshadow palette that I used for the glitters and the vivid pink. It's Kaleidos escape pod which tbh also is made for an alien theme look. :D
It's very surprising to have these colors so vivid and creamy lol. And I'm still quite pleased with how it turned out despite not what I have originally planned and was already about to just erase the whole thing and give up. Sometimes mistakes really does make you explore options and just because I accepted the mess and about to remove the makeup, it gave me worry-free experimentation which is really awesome. My works are usually always with worries lol so it was something fresh.
Love it, thanks for sharing with us!
Haha thanks!
That would be great to the carnival 😅
