Barry M's Summer lovin'

Hello again!

So recently I lost my job in Admin and now unfortunately can't afford my normal Naked Palette, so i began to think about the variety of more pocket friendly alternatives. And I have to say I think I've found one!

Barry M Natural Glow palette is perfect! The oatmeal base colour is perfect for blending on a most pale skin tones. Having a great overall base tone allows for the perfect natural smokey eye or if your wanting a more subtle summer look use the the oatmeal base with the soft shimmer pink (the first on the palette. The palette gives you several options to play around with, offering a day to night or if your lucky a night to day look! In my opinion its a must for all make up bags, this cost effective product may be small, with limited shade but it offers a wide variety of lucks. Do you really use those metallic navy shades ? No? Then maybe this palette is for you.

My only issue with this palette is the eye shadows don't have any names or numbers, which makes blogging harder than necessary (annoying). So please bare with me for the bloggers tips, although it is a bargain at £6.50 (being sold in most stores such as boots and super drug)

Em's Tip...

For a natural day time smokey eye use the oatmeal base to cover the lid.
Once covered use the use the darker shades to blend. My favourites are the two colour at the end of the palette.
Use the brown metallic colour to extenuate your crease lightly at first, then once the line is established pat the eyeshadow into the crease to make the look a little more intense.
Remember these are natural colours so it wont be a highly dramatic effect. Finishing off the look is easy use the last colour on the palette (metallic black) to lightly pat into the outer corner of your eye, use a blending brush to spread the colour out so the look won't look patchy. Finally pat a small dot of white eyeshadow  into the corner of your eye making your eye appear brighter.
