going colourful with shu uemura colour atelier eyeshadows!
i met beautiful ellen d. during a wedding booking that i had this summer. she was one of the bridesmaids and when i learned that she had done modelling before, i just had to ask her to be a model for a photoshoot with me and photographer mark darren.
i wanted to try something colourful using shu uemura colour atelier eyeshadows. i was inspired by the colours found in the shu uemura mini khaki lashes: blues, greens and oranges. ellen has great features for a strong bold winged eye and she rocked this photoshoot! mark directed and captured the perfect gaze that jumps right out of the photo.
products used:
shu uemura nobara cream cover stick foudation – i love using this foundation for photoshoots. it’s high coverage and buildable without the heavy cakiness. because it’s a cream consistency, it glides on smoothly.
shu uemura painting liner in blue – i’ve used other gel liners before, but i must say that this one is my favourite because it doesn’t dry too quickly, so i can draw a smooth clean line and adjust it until it’s perfect. it’s creamy and not “watery” like some gel liners that don’t allow enough control when drawing a wing.
shu uemura colour atelier pressed eyeshadows – i used these colours:
base colour: matte beige 813
crease colour: ME 471 and P Green 595 *ME = metallic
lower lid colour: ME 686 (blue)
accent outer colour: M 260 (oragne ) *M= matte
accent inner corner: G silver *G = glitter
browbone: M 907 (matte white)
shu uemura glow on blush M561 – i think a lot of people get scared off by shu uemura bright colours, but honestly, once it’s on the skin, it melts in and looks so natural. brides always ask me which blush i used on them and the glow ons are my go-tos.
shu uemura rouge unlimited crème matte – a nice nude beige colour that goes nicely with the bold dramatic eyes
