EOTD: Sleek Acid Peppermint and Black...

I'm sneaking in a look I actually created last month when I was using the Sleek Acid palette every day - let's call it "Acid Flashback" lol. The olivey lime green and white blend seemed to be popular, so I did a similar combination with the neon green and white, mainly to show you all how super versatile this palette is...

Starting with a layer of white first, then applying the vivid green over the top softens it down to a pretty pastel, and it's proof that if you have a palette with fabulous pigments, you can create just about anything...


The base was essence white kajal, and you can see that the black is so dense, it wasn't at all fazed by having the white underneath on the outer corner. For the crease I barely had to touch the brush on the black pan to pick up enough oomphy particles to create some definition...



I don't know about you, but I fancy a bit of cooling peppermint on a hot summer's day 



Do you use colour to cool you down?

Take care of you,

  1. Pretty! I like the way you went dark right at the end - it really defines the look.

    1. Bless you TP - glad you like it hon, and so sweet of you to say so. I normally blend the black into the colour a lot more gradually, but I was after a bit of a punch, if you know what I mean, and I reckon you do ♥

  2. Yep, I love, love, love this look, Kat. Black can be tricky to apply, but you've got just the right amount to make an impact, but not overboard. Fantastic work, as usual, hun xx

  3. Yes, the black makes it! I love black to bring out colours. Cooling peppermint describes this well.

    1. Thanks a bunch neurotic - there was a time when I used black with almost everything, and then I ditched it for a while, but it certainly has its merits ♥
