EOTD & TUTORIAL: Yellow Brown Smoky Eyes Look

I don't know if it happens to you guys but it sure does to me. What? LOL... The time when I get used to a particular thing and I just cannot let go of it :) Well yes it happens to the best of us but I guess it happens to me a tad bit more than most of you can even imagine! Why does this happen to me I cannot fathom but then yes you will now say that I am blabbering away to glory :P ha ha! So before I get carried away a bit more, let me tell you guys that what I am talking about is the fact that I get stuck not only to particular products but also to specific EOTDs and LOTDs... Yes! I am a habitual EOTD repeater in real life! Ha! There I said it! :D

So anyways, today I am posting a tutorial on the summery smoky look that I am nowadays sporting with anything and everything :) It's a very pretty and versatile (you bet!) EOTD using golden yellow and brown and well it just makes my eyes look so bright and full of life :) So here goes...

But first here's a sneak peak at my EOTD :) Tell me guys how much you like it :)

Yellow Brown Smoky Eyes

STEPS

1. Primed lids with Faces Eye-shadow Base and then buffed with some loose 

    powder/compact.

2. Taking a bit of yellow eye shadow from my Faces Brilliants Palette using a flat fluffy 

    eye shadow brush again from Faces, I applied the shadow on my eye lids in a 

    "pat-pat" motion.

3. Next using my Faces Blending Brush number 106, I picked up some Colorbar eye 

    shadow called Spicy Brown, which is a warm brown shade and applied it on my 

    crease, blending the yellow and brown shadows in a to and fro motion from the inner    

    corner of the eye to the outer.

4. Taking a highlighter shade like MAC Nylon, I applied it on my brow bone in order to 

    bring focus to my eyes.

5. Now, I lined my eyes with Maybelline's Gel Liner (waterline+upper lashline) and 

    finished off with some mascara. I have used Maxfactor's False Lash Effect Mascara 

    here.

6. This look can generally be paired with either a nude lippy or a red lippy and 

    sometimes even a coral lippy :)

7. On my cheeks, I have used NYX cream blush in Golden on the cheekbone and 

    Colorbar powder blush in Plum Brown on the hollows of my cheeks.

REVIEW & LOTD: Colorbar Eye-shadow in Spicy Brown

I have never been in love with brown as much as I am nowadays and I must say that it's all thanks to Colorbar's Eye-shadow in SPICY BROWN that I purchased like a couple of days before :) I have always loved eye popping neons and bright eye-shadows and so it's a huge shocker for me that I actually gravitated towards and finally bought a brown eye-shadow! And since the day I bought it, I have been only wearing this shade everywhere. Will you believe it if I tell you that I have paired this brown shadow with a navy blue ensemble, a black ensemble and a yellow ensemble? Well yeah talk about obsession! :P

Take a look at the LOTD I did with it...
For this look, I have paired Colorbar Spicy Brown with FACES Loose Sparke Dust in Golden. The lipstick that I have on is Colorbar Velvet Matte Lipstick in HOT HOT HOT (review here) and blush that I have used is Colorbar blush in Plum Brown.

This eye-shadow impressed me with the fact that it is an extremely versatile shade (yes brown can be versatile) and trust me when I say that I have tried EOTDs pairing Spicy Brown with yellow, mossy green, golden, Black (yes black!), Dark Blue and Purple! One just needs to let their imagination run wild :D This eye-shadow comes in a very cute and an innovative packaging. It has two compartments. The top compartment of the pot is where the real product is, the lower compartment contains a teensy mirror and a tiny, bent sponge applicator. This as you all already know is a signature packaging of Colorbar cosmetics. Their blushes also come in similar cases.

Oooohs and Aaahhhs!

1. The color is warm and pretty and like I said very versatile.

2. The texture is very smooth and application is a breeze.

3. Doesn't have any chunky glitter but a nice sheen/glaze.

4. Very less fall out. Do note that I haven't said negligible ;)

5. Well pigmented. Not much of a difference between using and not using a base under it.

6. Stays on for long and doesn't really budge for at least 8 hours straight.

7. Very comfortable to the pocket ;)

8. Cute packaging.

Ouches!

1. Very limited colors in this range. I mean do they really expect me to be content with only 6 shades?!!!

2. The bent applicator provided with the shadow is pretty useless because of its size and shape!

Price

It costs INR 250/-

Repurchase?

Yeah sure I'd buy the other shades available in the range.

Would I recommend?

Oh yes of course especially to beauties on a budget
