EOTD: Clarins Colour Quartet For Eyes #40 Les Mordores - Forest

Well, as promised, the new eye look I had spotted yesterday, using the colors from Clarins Colour Quartet For Eyes #40 Les Mordores - Forest, a palette with forest-y greens to copper and golden light brown shades.

I know it's not morning anymore, but forgive me....it's not my fault......but the stupid IZZI net went into some kind of 'multiple organ failure syndrome' since the past 1 week........and this morning was no exception.

Basically this EOTD/FOTD used all Clarins cosmetics.

Let me start with the base and foundation. I mixed Base Comblante, Instant Light Complexion Perfector and True Radiance Foundation SPF 15 in 03 Soft Ivory together and applied the combo on my face, except the eye area. I was just being lazy. Of course, it would be better if I had applied the Base Comblante first, followed by the Complexion Perfector, then the foundation - coverage would be better. After that, I dusted on face powder from the face powder/blush duo from the Autumn Nude Inspiration Collection....the one with the paddy stalk design.



Then, it's time to put on the eye makeup. I decided to be different this time, as I was making up for 2 functions yesterday - in the afternoon, was the Kiehl's-YAWA launching of the Biodiversity Camp for children, while at night, a dinner reception.



I started with Instant Light Eye Perfecting Base (photo above), hoping to get a long-lasting smudgeless makeup that can last till dinner time. I chose the Clarins Colour Quartet For Eyes #40 Les Mordores - Forest, since I hardly use this kind of color for my eye makeup, and I wanted to have some kind of Oriental look.

Clarins Colour Quartet For Eyes #40 Les Mordores - Forest

#04 Lovely Rose and #10 Vanilla Beige monocolour eyeshadows as highlighter.
The former shade for highlighting the inner upper part of the lids, while the latter for highlighting the outer upper part of the lids.
I have been advised not to use too much pink tone/shade as eyeshadow and/or highlight as it would accentuate my puffy eyelids even more.

Eye Of The Day

- I started by applying the dark olive green shade from the Forest palette on the outer part of my eyelid to about halfway inward, then the copper shade (3rd shade from left) from the inner part outward to halfway meeting the dark olive green shade. Applied the golden light brown in the middle where the 2 colors met, then blend them.
-Highlighted the upper part of the lids with 2 colors: #10 Vanilla Beige on the outer part, and #04 Lovely Rose on the inner part.
-Curled the lashes before lining the eyes. Instead of lining on the upper lids, this time I lined on the waterline, and on the lower lids, also on the waterline only. Then I used the same dark olive green shade to soften the liner on the lower waterline.
-Applied mascara in brown color and used Eye Fix to prevent smudging.
-Then, defined the brow with the eyebrow pro kit.
