I'm back! Apologies for my absence, I was overwhelmed with Uni work and unfortunately that had to take priority over my blog. But today, I'm back with a collaboration with CrazyLenses, who kindly sent me three pairs of lenses. I created a dark purple smokey look using the Violet & Grey Fusion pair, which are absolutely gorgeous, and my Naked Smokey Palette.
As soon as I looked at these lenses when they arrived I knew exactly the look I wanted to create around them, and this palette was the one.
I used a mixture of Whiskey and Combust as my transition shade which I blended quite far up my past my crease. I wanted to create a silvery-grey colour on the inner half of my eye, so used Slanted on the inner half of my eye, and Smoulder on the outer half to create the deep purple outer V. After a hell of a lot of blending, as always with dark colours, I applied some of Smoulder along my lower lash line and blew this out a little. The final touch was the inner-corner highlight, and for this I used theBalm MaryLou Manizer, one of my new faves!
As far as the lenses go, I was absolutely blown away with the colour of them, they were so unique yet didn't look stupidly fake when I was wearing them. As I am not a contact lens wearer, it did take a good half an hour for me to get them in since I hate putting things so close to my eyes, but once they were in they didn't move around too much, and weren't too irritating.
This pair in particular can be worn multiple times within 90 days if stored correctly, which is pretty decent considering they're only £18.99 a pair. I have a hazel pair and an aqua pair which I'm planning looks for as we speak!
Let me know if you wear coloured contacts.
