mark. Eyeshadow & Blush Review.....

EYESHADOWS

 

I have to admit that Mark has improved the quality of their eyeshadows. When they first came out they had very poor pigmentation and they seemed to dry quickly making the eyeshadow useless.

Each eyeshadow is $5.00 and the size is actually pretty good, kind a big actually.

Mark recently came out with their matte collection of eyeshadows. Most of their eyeshadows where shimmery and some had that lustre finish.  

Let me say I'm totally in luv witht the matte collection.

Below you can see all eyeshadows I own and swatches.

Whisper, Latte, Wink Wink, Hollywood, Espresso

My FAVORITE

I use these colors to blend any harsh lines on my crease

Whisper as a highlight you can see I hit pan already.

These have very silky, creamy and soft texture, but are powder shadows.

I just LOVE these.

Minx, Giogia, Tiki, Magic & Vintage Khaki

Apple, Piccadily, Pool, Ocean Drive & Night Owl

All colors above are very good in color pigmentation and texture.

Biscotti, Crush, Nomadic & Fairy Dust

Victorian Lace, Glitterati, Java, Corset & Retro Peacock

Victorian Lace & Glitterati seemed to be very similar here in the picture but they are actually very different.

Victorian Lace is a silver with a lavender sheen and the texture is smooth and pigmentation is very good.

Glitterati is a silver color with glitter and has a lustre finish (not a fan of lustre eyeshadows)

Java, Corset and Retro Peacock are very nice and pigmentation is great.

BLUSHES

I'd have to say I really love each of the blushes I own. The price on the Blushes are $7.00 the size is a good one too, texture is great color is great I just really like all of these, with one tiny exception Golden Glo, it has that lustre, glittery texture and when I put it on it looks like I just have glitter all over my face. So I'd pass on that one Kitten Glo is another one that just shows up as glitter with a very light pink/white color. I didn't show a picture of it because it just wouldn't show on camera.

So hope you like these!

Star Glo       Cameo Glo

Dramatic Eye By mark.!!!!!!

How to:

 
1. Apply mark. please hold eye primer all over lid to keep shadows bold.

2. With a regular eyeshadow brush, apply imark. "latte" all over eye.
3) Apply imark. "plum velvet" to crease and a little above the crease so that the color is visible when the eye is open. Bring the shade to the outer corner too. (use a crease brush for steps 3-5)

4) Bring "plum velvet" deep into the inner corner. This is a bold move, so if it looks like it is making your eyes look smaller than skip this step.

5) Apply imark. "java" to crease right below "plum velvet" and blend a little into "plum velvet" without masking the it. "Java" is used to deepen the purple and crease further depth.

6) Take  imark. "corset" and a small detail brush and create a defined line right at the eye crease. This step is called, "cutting the crease" it is a very dramatic and pronounced way to create a definite contour line on the eyelid.

7) Apply imark. "whisper" with a fluffy eye brush. Begin at the arch under the brow, and continue to blend it under the rest of the brow and into the inner eye.

8) Pat on imark. "magic" with a natural hair, flat eye brush on the lid, right on top of "latte." Patting on the shadow will prevent fall out, and it will help keep the shadows color intensity.

9) Apply mark. get in line waterproof liquid eyeliner really close to lashline.
10) Use a touch of imark."plum velvet" to line the lower lash.

11) Curl lashes and apply loads of mark. lash splash waterproof mascara to top lashes only.
12) Apply foundation  mark. powder buff  This is a powder foundation that offers medium to build able full coverage. I love this foundation. I have go through many pans. Also, I like to apply foundation after I do the eyes so that I don't ruin the foundation work with any eyeshadow fallout.
13) Contour cheekbones with bronzer with mark. glowdacious illuminating powder. Suck in cheeks to make a fish face, and apply contour powder in hollows of cheeks. Make sure to blend outwards and blur any definite lines. This step is to create shadows, but we don't want it to be too obvious. You can use a blush brush, or an angled contour brush.

14) Place mark. get bright hook up highlighter right above check bones.
15) Apply blush with mark. mosaic in hush baby lightly to apples on your cheeks.
16) With clean big and fluffy face brush, blend everything lightly. We want the shades to meld together without it getting muddy.

17) Fill brows.

18) Apply a neutral shade to balance out the bold eye.

Neutral Eye By mark.!!!!!!!

This took forever to do because I lost the swatches & had to do them over again & lost it so had to use these. For this eye I used only mark. makeup. I usually LOVE bright eyeshadows but I choose to do a neutral eye this time! 

 

 

1. Apply mark. eye primer on entire lid for shadow to last all day!

2. Apply imark. latte on lid.
3. Apply imark. espresso in crease subtly not drastic.
4. Apply imark. whisper on brow bone (under brow) to highlight and make your eye's really pop!
5. Apply mark. on the edge eyeliner in cleo along top lash line. If you're not used to using liquid eyeliner it might be easier if you start on either the inside or outside and make a bunch of small lines and then connect them!

6. Apply mark. scandalash in backlash along the top & bottom lashes.

7. Rock you're new mark. look!

imark by mark./AVON eyeshadows & swatches

So I'm sooo sorry that I'm uploading all this at once. I'm trying to get everything from my old blog onto this one so maybe my old followers will find me!

Anyhoo so after I got my initial mark. rep kit I fell in love with the eye shadows, usually I love very pigmented ones so I'm always sketchy when trying new ones BUT I loved these, some of them I don't really like just because of my skin tone but other then that honestly I loved them. Only the top 4 are "swatched" because I can't seem to be able to upload my other pics ugh!

 So....what do you think? I'm going to try to get the other ones but I doubt I'll have any luck, I had to borrow that one swatch anyways so . . . hmm. Idk if you want to look at some more please visit my website. www.mymarkstore.com/nreagan
