Im in love with this little Shimmer Bloc. Its 4 different colours all extremely shimmery which i love but the thing that impressed me the most was the pigmentation i know that usually baked products arnt that pigmented but this is just wow. These can be used as one and just swirl your brush into it, it will give you a gorgeous Golden Peach Glow but you can also use them individually
Ive used this for a while now maybe a month or 2 for shoots and such and ive found it works really well for the eyes and it really works well for cheeks too if your looking to do a little bit of shimmery highlighting. Usually i will use this on the tops of the cheeks i find the bottom colour works really well its an almost silvery/white colour its perfect in my opinon. For the other colours i would usually use them on eyes because they are so pigmented and lovely the give the eyes this gorgeous gorgeous sheen, what also makes me love this "Bloc" is the fact that it is baked so i can use it wet and then apply to the eyes for a seriously intense colour
as you can see below the colours are really nice and natrual but still quite pigmented and there for people to see
1 is a Shimmery Bronze ((reminds me of Woodwinked from MAC))
2 is a Shimmery Rose Gold
3 is a Shimmery Peachy Gold- ((I would say it was peachy than gold))
4 is a Shimmery White/Silver/Champagne

This is obviously a swatch to show the colours so it will be quite heavy but with a brush these give such an even finish and the texture is to die for
Ive used it one these shoots below:

ReplyDeleteWhat do you use to apply the colours with? I'm thinking a fan brush would be ideal for me.
Good idea :P hehe
ReplyDeletewhen im using it all on the face i will use a fan brush a small one like the one from elf but when im using it on the eyes i use a small fluffy brush with a base underneith :D xx
