Week three of the Antipodean Beauties challenge saw
me pondering the ‘winter’ theme, which seems quite apt considering the cold
weather in Melbourne at this time of year. Icy winds and smatterings of rain
put me in a pale blue and grey frame of mind, so I leant towards those shades
to create this winter makeup look.
The L'Oreal Infallible shadow in Sassy Marshmallow had been in the back of my mind since the Miss Candy collection was released quite some time ago, but I was yet to pick it up to add to my (rather large!) Infallible collection. After a long study session last week I stopped by Target with my friend Carly, and ended up finding Sassy Marshmallow for less than $5 in a clearance tub! With the Antipodean Beauties Winter theme in mind, I took the iridescent pale blue shade filled with pink/red shimmer home with me and set to work.
Maybelline Dream Matte Powder
YSL Touché Éclat*
Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Exposed
MAC Patisserie lipstick
BOE Lip Lacquer in Milk Chocolate
Covergirl Clump Crusher mascara
What makeup looks do you turn to for cold weather?
Do you fancy pale blue shadows, or find them too '80's' for your style?

The L'Oreal Infallible shadow in Sassy Marshmallow had been in the back of my mind since the Miss Candy collection was released quite some time ago, but I was yet to pick it up to add to my (rather large!) Infallible collection. After a long study session last week I stopped by Target with my friend Carly, and ended up finding Sassy Marshmallow for less than $5 in a clearance tub! With the Antipodean Beauties Winter theme in mind, I took the iridescent pale blue shade filled with pink/red shimmer home with me and set to work.
I tapped some Sassy Marshmallow (still giggling at the shade name) over the lid, concentrating the
pale shimmery colour on the inner half of my eye as I knew I was going back in
with another colour for the outer corners. I swept a little bit of my brown
toned grey Inglot shade into the crease but found it didn’t have enough
impact, so I went back in with Garter Belt from my Too Faced Boudoir
palette. Garter Belt has been my favourite shadow for darker eye
looks since I bought this palette, and I think it looks nice with the pale blue
shadow to bring it to a more wearable level. I then mixed the dark grey Inglot shade with the shimmery greys from my Australis Frock + Roll palette and tapped them under the eye for some definition.
I finished off the eye look with these products:
Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream in Light*Maybelline Dream Matte Powder
YSL Touché Éclat*
Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Exposed
MAC Patisserie lipstick
BOE Lip Lacquer in Milk Chocolate
Covergirl Clump Crusher mascara

You have such a pretty eye color! Love how the dark brown contrasts with the frosty blue, i don't think i could pull that off with my skintone but it looks great on you.
ReplyDeleteHow cold was it today in Melbourne!
à la foliee
Thank you Chloe! I was really happy with how it turned out as well, I think frosty blue is pretty risky but I liked wearing it =) The icy winds have taken it out of me, I have a cold right now!
DeleteOh, that Infallible shade is stunning! Love what you've done with the blending work.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nalini, I wish I didn't have to layer Sassy Marshmallow up as much to get that colour but I was happy with my blending work too :)
DeleteLove this look! I love the colour of Sassy Marshmallow eyeshadow. The pale blue colour definitely fits the theme winter! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Ina! The pale blue just screams winter to me :)

ReplyDeleteAh, that eye look is gorgeous! I really love the dark shade in the crease - adds such a nice effect. Sassy Marshmallow is a bit of a ridiculous name, though, lol!

ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! And Sassy Marshmallow, hehe I love it! xx
ReplyDeleteThat is a really gorgeous colour, I think I'll be looking into some bargain bins myself!! :D
ReplyDeleteThat blue looks gorgeous on you Emma. I don't know what colours I usually go for in Winter. Actually I don't think I think much about it. It just depends on my mood tbh.
