I was sooo curious about this color when I saw the swatches online. It's a duochrome color (meaning from different angles, it appears to be a different color) and I personally have never worked with a duochrome before so I was intrigued but nervous that I'd get it and hate it. First let me show you the look I did using this color today.
Would you believe me if I told you the color on my lid is the same shadow that I used in my crease?? It is. That's the fun part of this duochrome color. It's like you get at least 3 colors in one. Let me show you what I mean...
See, with no base, it's got a burgandy kind of color happening, while over the black base, it turns almost green, and foiled it almost looks blue.
What I used:
Lime Crime Eyeshadow Helper
NYX JEP "Black Bean"
"Dino Spotz" foiled on lid
"Dino Spotz" applied dry in and slightly above crease
From Naked palette:
"Buck" to blend above the crease
"Naked" to blend from Buck up to highlight
"Virgin" as a highlight
L'oreal Lineur Intense Carbon Black liquid liner
L'oreal Voluminous Carbon Black mascara
Lips:
Lime Crime "Coquette" lipstick
Revlon "Cupcake" lip butter
I'm stinkin in love with this look. It's neutral and pretty but has an element that makes it interesting, like you have to take a second look. And not to down the other colors I chose from Glamour Doll Eyes but I expect that this one will be my favorite. To me, it's a must have! I love it!!
Do you have any Glamour Doll Eyes colors? Or any duochromes? What's your opinion on them?
Thank you so much for taking time out to check this out! Your support means so much to me!
I really like GDE shadows. my favorite one is Chelsey (a purple). Dino Spotz looks cool. I am going to grab it next time I order. Great look BTW!
ReplyDeleteIf you do, let me know what you think of it and if you love it as much as I do!
DeleteOh wow! Cool color! I want to try it too :)
ReplyDeleteI have Dino Spotz and I love it! You should try Dirty Jeans, too. It's another duochrome that changes from a blue to a dirty green type color. I love them together.
ReplyDeleteWow, it's amazing all the variation in color you've acheived over all those different bases. Reminds me a little bit of LimeCrime's dragon scales but a bit browner. Love that you've taken such an interesting and unconventional color and made it such a subtle, gorgeous, natural look. Straight talent girl!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Meredith!!!
DeleteWow, that is so cool! I love it and I love this look on you. You look gorgeous like always!! =)
ReplyDeleteWow so gorgeous!! I also got contacted by Glamour Doll Eyes and am in love with their products. I have to say I have a pretty big wish list of their products xD And this shadow is no on that list!! Gorgeous look as always Sonja, I can't believe that is all one shadow! ♥

DeleteI have a couple duochromes and I LOVE them, but I've never used them like you have! You are so creative and put together awesome looks! I love what you did with dino spotz! I don't have any glamour doll eyes, but I might have to get some now!
ReplyDeleteThank you so so much! I still can't believe how much I love this color!
DeleteIt does look quite a bit like blue brown, but not quite as red. Holy smokess, I must own this color. So, so gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteHow pretty! Definitely reminds me of MAC Blue Brown Pigment.
ReplyDeleteThis is pretty! It reminds me of a color that's included in a color in the Wet N Wild Comfort Zone palette.

What does foiling mean?
ReplyDeleteI have to just say that I love all your looks, Your so talented.
ReplyDeleteOh and I never have really used loose powder, do you tap your brush off before applying it to your lid?
DeleteIt's very much like MAC Blue Brown pigment.
