FOTD: Essence 3D eyeshadows

This is a look I wore in the weekend with two Essence 3D eyeshadows – Irresistible Caramel Cream and Irresistible Purr-ple. One neutral, one colourful, we can make the best of both worlds 🙂
On the face:
– Moisturizer: Yves Rocher Anti-age Global day cream and eye cream
– Primer: Annabelle CC Instant Perfecting base in Luminous finish
– Concealer: Maybelline Instant Age Rewind the Eraser Dark Spot treatment corrector in Light/ Medium
– Foundation: Maybelline Instant Age Rewind the Perfector powder in Light/ Medium
– Brow liner: Annabelle Skinny brow liner in Universal Medium
– Blush: The Body Shop blush trio in Warm Sunset
– Lips: Quo Jumbo lipgloss stick in Nectar.

I was experimenting with skipping liquid foundation and going with only powder and concealer. Flaws were more visible, as expected 🙂
On the eyes:
– Eye base: Maybelline Color Tattoo in Inked in Pink
– Eyeshadows: from Irresistible Caramel Cream – champagne as brow bone highlight and warm brown as transition colour, from Irresistible Purr-ple – silver in the inner half, purple in the outer half
– Eye liners: Sephora + Pantone Universe Foiled waterproof eyeliner in Purple and Annabelle Smudgeliner in Foxy Grey
– Mascara: L’Oreal Double Extend mascara with Lash Boosting serum in Blackest Black.
Like I mentioned in the review, I love the purple with teal shimmers in Irresistible Purr-ple, so I didn’t mind spending a bit of time building it for intensity. If you are in a rush, I would not recommend it. Irresistible Caramel Cream is easier to work with and blend well too.

I enjoyed pairing these two duos together. They support each other well, colour wise, like a good quad. I secretly wish that we had a different colour than silver in Irresistible Purr-ple though 🙂 I’ll definitely play around more with the other duos.
Lasting power wise, some fading did happen after about 5-6 hours of wear, with a base (see above). However, at the end of the day when I took off the makeup, the eyes still looked presentable. So I’ll say again, the neutrals win in this set of products 🙂
It was freezing yesterday, felt like another April Fool’s joke.
I couldn’t be happier to get home to stay in the warmth and even went to bed early, ignoring daily chores. Hope things are going well at your end.
