FotD: pink lips and Damn Paladins

I'm quite sad that Fyrinnae have renamed Damn Paladins to Work Safe Blue. I mean, it's an apt description, but Damn Paladins is such a fun name!

One of the best things about this eyeshadow is that with a bit of blending, it can look like you've applied two eyeshadows instead of one. Pat it on and the blue highlight comes to the forefront. Blend it and you're left with a lovely taupe-y colour.

Eotd/Lotd: Berry Wine

Actually managing to get out of bed in time to do makeup for uni is quite an accomplishment these days. The fact I had time to photograph this look was an even bigger bonus!

Swatches: Fyrinnae at work

Fyrinnae are best known for their beautiful, unusual colours, especially the colour-changing Arcane Magic range. Oh, and Pixie Epoxy. BUT, they make some gorgeous neutrals too!

Njiro

"Ivory with rainbow sparkles."

 Over P.E.

 On bare skin

Beholder

"Sparkling, somewhat silvery deep taupe." 

 Over P.E (the bumpy bit in the middle is a hair)

On bare skin 

This shade is an amazing crease colour, and because I'm somewhat darker-skinned, I find I can get away with this as a lid shade, too.

Damn Paladins

"Soft, satiny taupe with a gentle light blue highlight" 

 Over P.E

 On bare skin

Obviously I used a lot of P.E in my first swatch! With the correct amount of P.E/over primer, the taupe base is more visible, and the blue highlight is more of a subtle duochrome. I love this shade so much.

Koala

"A medium rosy taupe, this shade has a satin finish, but gives off a little more shine when applied wet. " 

 Over P.E

 On bare skin

This looks ashy and matte in the jar but has this amazing silvery-white sheen to it when applied.

These four shadows definitely help spice up my work make-up routune. I also have three Arcane Magic neutrals, but obviously these are a lot harder to photograph. Expect those after I've finished my Lost in Makeupland series (palette write-up next!)
