Pink and purple actually. And rock it in a way where you do not look like you have a contagious eye infection either. Or that you were trying out to be a Disney Princess...or leather-studded dominatrix... this color truly can run from the sickeningly sweet to super scary. But rather in a notice-me-not-just-my-pink-eyeshadow kinda way, you know? Doing it like you do on a shoestring budget is totally possible with this 5 pan from WnW called Floral Values. Besides, new lipsticks deserve new eyeshadows, no?
Oui! Oui! Oui! Branching out of my comfort zone of easy neutrals, I had to get the most hyper unnatural palette to play with, of course. Besides, what else would go with Dollhouse Pink???? Definitely nothing I currently own. And I was surprised by the wearable shades!
I always thought in theory pink and purples should look good. But for them to actually translate into real life and look super adorbs? Shocker. True, it's not something I will reach for every day or even most days, but when you are feeling a little sassy and a lot fun, you have to have this in your makeup arsenal.
The shade that shocked me most was the pink! Applied lightly with a good eyeshadow brush, it imparts a pretty glow to the eyelid that is fresh and sweet. I don't follow the guidelines of the shadows, but I just play with them... blending until it's a pretty hue. These do not look garish at all. I'm not even a purple girl. But with several blue-based lipsticks I have added, I needed some cooler shades to compliment my look for the day! With the specials running this week at Rite Aid, this came to $1.50 (there was even a $1 off coupon on it!)
So what I always have thunk is true after all: pink can always go with, well, more pink!
