Friday Brights w/ NYX Milk! This post is Rated R....

Hey Beauties! Happy Friday!

I'm just going to start this post off by saying that if you are a beauty who LOVES bright eyeshadow or if you LOVE for your eyeshadow to POP...please find your nearest NYX retailer and grab the Jumbo Eyeshadow pencil in Milk. Like...now. This white creamy pencil used as a base to your eyeshadows will make you a very happy girl. I wouldn't lie to ya!

I just recently added this to my makeup stash and I finally decided to test it out by doing a bright eye-look. I love bright shadows and I marvel at them on other people...but oddly enough I don't do them very often on myself. This is probably for a few reasons including the fact that I barely wear makeup to work and wouldn't do bright shadow there anyway and on the weekend I'm not much better. LOL. But TODAY....TODAY we have a bright look and I actually dig this.

So it took me a WHILE to figure out what shadows to use for this bright eye. I finally settled on my NARS eyeshadow duo Rated R. I've had this for...a few years now. It was actually the very first NARS product I purchased (for some reason I was just drawn to the pretty cobalt blue and sparkly lime green), however, I have never (until now) used it. Shame! I have waaay too many things like this in my stash that I have yet to get around to using. Which probably means I shouldn't buy anything else right? Yeah.

So check out the NARS Rated R duo!












Here's the look I did using NYX Milk as a base (all over the lid and eye/brow area)...

Love it!! Thst e/s looks amazing on you. I have a few Jumbo Pencils but Milk was sold out when I rinsed NYX during the 50% off sale last year and I haven't got round to buying it since.

I ALWAYS use the milk pencil when I'm doing bright eyesahdows. Its crazy how much they pop with this as a base. I also have the purple pencil. I'm trying to get them all in my collection. I think its something everybody should have. Have fun at Jayz concert : )

I love the Jumbo E/P I have a couple of colors. The Milk is great for bright e/s. I use the NYX E/S base too. They have a pearlized one I may get.

Great post & I Love the colors you used.

I'm actually going make-up shopping today for the Mac concealer that you & Deeva recommended, and I want some red gloss, cuz I'm too scared to get a really red lipstick, lol! I'll have to see where I can find NYX in London

Basically to remove eye shadow, a commercial eye makeup remover can be utilized, though a rich face wash will usually remove all traces of color. Custom-Papers.co.uk cheap essays
