FROCK AND ROLL! EOTD with Australis

A while ago, I was moaning about the lack of grey shadows in my makeup collection. After digging around, I came up with the new release Australis Paparazzi Perfect palette
-FROCK AND ROLL-
Containing 5 shades in a geometrical palette, this little stunner quelled my grey-shadow-lemmings!


Frock and Roll!
Australis describes this palette as having these shades:
"Pearlescent shades of coral pink, medium grey, cool grey, charcoal, deep red."

Swatches and Palette
These swatches are pigmented with one sweep, which is somethnig I really appreciate in eyeshadows. Rather than being a palette with some rad shades and some 'meh' shades, this range seems to have only winners! In my opinion, of course. I naturally went straight for the grey shades first, and this is the look I dreamt of and came up with!


EOTD with Australis Frock and Roll

The light coming in from the window makes it appear as though my makeup isn't even, be assured that it was! And please ignore the frizzy hair and crazy brows!
This sort of look is exactly what I wanted- I tend to avoid dark shadows as most of my clothing is quite dark, so I like to brighten it up or use shimmery neutrals for my day to day makeup. This is generally as dark as I like to go, unless I'm using brown shades.I often neglect to use eyeliner as well, but that is something I'm challenging myself to change.

I used the cool tone grey as a highlight, the medium grey swept all over the lid, and a tiny bit of the charcoal to slighlty darken my crease. I then dusted a tiny bit of the cool tone grey in the centre of my lid towards the inner corner, to brighten it up even more. Maybelline Falsies completed the look!

If I were to create this look again (and I am totally going to, frequently) I would add in some black liner, highlight the inner corners and wing the shadow out a bit more. I'm no makeup pro, but I'm learning and loving and enjoying my products, and that's what really matters!

  4. The pattern really makes it special, I agree. I prefer the colours in this one to the others, though the purple one looks nice too. I think I was so desperate for grey shadows that this couldn't be surpassed!
