Petal Pushing look #5

I recently picked up the Petal Pusher palette by Wet n Wild. This is from the Color Icon collection and features 8 highly pigmented eyeshadows. We're all pretty aware that Wet n Wild has stepped up their game and really created some competition among drugstore brands, and this palette is no exception. Each eyeshadow is soft and silky, and they're very easy to blend on the skin. I love this palette and am so glad I purchased it.

I've decided to do a mini-series of FOTDs showing a few different looks that you could recreate with this palette. Because there are 8 eyeshadows in it, the combinations are really near limitless if you stick within the palette alone. But you obviously don't have to do that - you can use any other eyeshadows that you want to come up with other fabulous looks.



Series list: 
Look 1 - Concentration on outer V
Look 2 - Reverse smoky eye
Look 3 - Taking the reverse smoky eye from day to night!
Look 4 - Smoky!
Look 5 - Mellow cut crease!
All looks


This look is the last in my mini series. It wasn't inspired by anything in particular, like some of the other looks in the series. I wanted to use the two purples on the bottom left of the palette, because I hadn't done much with them. And I had picked up a purple cream eyeliner that I wanted to try out, so I used that in the mix as well.


For this look, I took the cream eyeliner and the angled brush that came with it, and drew out my crease. I then blended it a bit, and added the more matte of the two purples on top, and blended that out as well. On the rest of my eyelid, I used the second color on the left side, which is a light purple. On my lower lash line, I used the cream eyeliner again, and on top used the last purple shade on the left side of the palette - it's kind of a shimmery periwinkle, almost. I really liked the way that the eyeshadows looked on top of the cream eyeliner, though the combination of the darker purple and the eyeliner gave me a color very close to what I got when I added the last purple on top of the gel.
