Swatchfest! Lee shares 6 of her favorite eyeshadows

Hello Beauties,

I LOVE doing up my eyes so it was pretty easy for me to decide what I wanted to swatch for IBC'S Swatch It-Win It! contest.

Here are the eyeshadows I totally LOVE. I’ve swatched 6 eyeshadows as no eye makeup is complete without a highlighter so Ive included the eyeshadow I love highlighting my browbone with. Enjoy <3

(Editor's Note- Lee these are some of the nicest swatches I've seen! Great Job!)

All the eyeshadows are swatched twice and without a base.

Colorbar 04 Gorgeous Gold

A frosty lemon-ish gold shade.  It is the perfect highlighting shade I have come across.

Colorbar 04 Really Rose

A frosty baby pink eyeshadow. It is also a good dupe of Mac Swish :D

Dance of the Peacock-Bridal Eye Makeup contest entry by Nitya

Dance of the Peacock - is a colorful look which combines bright blue and green without looking too over the top. This look can be paired with similar colored Lehngas /Saree with either gold or silver embellishment.

   

Lipstick suggestion: since the eyes are quite heavy and dramatic, it's better to go with nude lips. But this being a wedding look, nude lips might look too washed out and won't photograph well. Hence, I'd recommend glossy shimmery light pink lips. (Maybelline colorsensational lipstick in Warm me up + Bourjois 3D effect gloss in no.63)
