Hello my darlings, how are you doing?
I thought to rest for one day of the nail art avalanche in my blog with all these challenges and reviews going on, I would love to share with you an Eye look I've done recently using one really pretty cream eyeshadow I bought from Marionnaud, which is in #03 Mysterious taupe. (Wonder why everything is so mysterious this Fall, lol!). I was very pleased to see they have a new makeup up range under their own brand and while the choice is not huge, they do have some nice stuff. Which is also nice is the price tag! lol. They're very affordable (for Swiss standard) I paid 14.90 CHF for this cream eyeshadow (about 15 USD). Let's take a closer look:





This product is comparable to Maybelline colour tattoos, except I find it a little easier to blend because it does not dry as fast as colour tattoos, so it gives you more time to blend colours in. It  seems to contain less product than colour tattos (those do not state how much they have! naughty naughty) Marionnaud's silky eye shadows contain 2.5g. I also like that the Marionnaud's pot has a protection film sealing the product, that protects it from drying fast. Cream eyeshadows tend to dry, so that's a good thing.
The shade I picked is a taupe slightly leaning to mauve with iridescent and silver shimmer, it has a lovely velvety finish without being matte of course.
So, here is the look I've made, a quite classic smoky eye using the cream shadow as a base and playing shades and lights with some powder shadows on top. But I haven't added much colour to my lower lash line, nor I have extended the colour towards the outer corners of the eyes, so I guess that makes it pretty wearable for daytime too!





And here is what I've used,

For the eyes:
- NYX Above & beyond full coverage concealer in 04Beige
- Marionnaud Ombre soyeuse 03 Taupe mystérieux
- The following shades from the NYX Butt naked eyes palette: 1,5 for hihglighting inner corner ant brow bone, 8 in the crease & 10 for filling my eyebrows (see the picture of the palette with corresponding numbers below)
- NYX Eye/eyebrow pencil 901 Black along the lower waterline
- Nyx Gel liner & Smudger 01 Jet black , aplied on the upper lashline and smudged to soften the line.
