Last month was a a Sleek Acid-fest, so it was high time to dig deep into my drawers and pluck out a long neglected palette - this is MUA Poptastic. It has some really gorgeous shades, including five beautiful blues, and here I've used a couple...
These shadows are silky smooth and unbelievable value for $7.50 - how do they do it? I'm embarrassed to say I bought this palette almost two years ago and have so rarely used it - I can only think it's because I have way too many shadows in my collection, and I simply keep forgetting about it. But I've now moved it into a far more prominent position to remind myself in the coming weeks just how stunning some of these shades are - I'm already planning to use those pinks and the purple, and how about that gold? Might even do a look with all four lol...
Ok, so over the essence white kajal base, you probably don't need me to tell you that I applied the lightest blue on the inner half, and the deeper one on the outside - it's all pretty obvious really ♥ These shadows are all shimmers in varying degrees, and the consistency is like butter, even after all this time...
They have an iridescent quality to them, almost like butterfly wings :-) In the crease is MUA matte single shadow in Midnight, and on the waterline is essence Longlasting Eye Pencil in Cool Down...
Take care of you,

These lovely shades give eyes a pop of colour, love it.
ReplyDeleteHi Sandra, thanks for the lovely comment - I used to avoid blues (for about 30 years actually), but there's so many pretty shade variations these days xxx
DeleteThis blue look is stunning, Kat. I can only imagine the creative looks you will do with this palette. Can't wait! xx
ReplyDeleteAww thanks Indie darling - I did another one today, but it was a little disappointing because of the base I used. Still debating whether I'll post it or not - might be a good example of what not to do lol
DeleteWould love to see more looks from this palette! Loving the blue on you.
ReplyDeleteMore coming up for sure TP - thanks heaps for the vote of confidence on the blues, I really appreciate your comment hon xxx
DeleteI've avoided blues for decades too, but you make them look so wearable. I start out trying a blue look, it comes out awful & I always go over it by blending greens, pinks or purples on top. So far, my only successful blue look has been with MNY color tattoos, but I blend a bit of green or purple in there too. I love the butterfly wing description.
ReplyDeleteI've got to get some of that RapidLash!
Sounds like you need a very particular shade of blue hon - are you warm or cool skintone? I'm lucky cos I'm kind of neutral - my skin is a combination of cool base with warm freckles, and my eyes are a cool shade, so I can get away with aquas as well as powder blue and navy, but purple blues look awful on me. I had to experiment a fair bit to find the ones that work :-) And yes, RapidLash is ah-mazing ♥
DeleteHa ha! I did it yesterday! I used my MNY color tattoos: 3 blues (one is a limited edition from Ozsale) & painted pink at the inner corner. It was the first time I haven't done it then gone over it with another colour. I reckon it looked pretty damn good, if I do say so myself!
DeleteI'm definitely cool, no doubt on that front. Purplish blues are best, no powder blue for me! Most colours suit me as long as they're bright & clear.
Yay hon! I bet it looked fab ♥ Yes if you're a cool, then it's the purple-blues for you doll xxx
