EOTN: Sleek Molten Metals

My first dabble with Sleek Molten Metals was a bit of a let down, but I am happy to report I had a little more success with them second time around.  While I do wish they didn't crease as much, I have to admit when first applied they are truly stunning and really make my eyes stand out more than any other cream shadows I have.  I also suggest using them a highlighter by dabbing on the middle of you bottom lip or centre of you eyelid.

This time I started by applying Urban Decay Primer Potion to my lids, let it dry then applied the Motel Metal in Gold Leaf all over my lid with a synthetic flat shader brush.  I then used Pewter in the middle of my lid and inner corner to highlight.  I also added some under my lower lash line.  To add some definition to my crease I applied a matte black shadow.  I used MAC Blacktrack Fluidline to create a bit of a cat's eye.

I really like the effect it has along my lower lash line.  In a bid to prolong it's wear I dusted some E.L.F. Studio HD Powder over my lids with a MAC 224.  While it did dull the beautiful metallic shimmer a bit, Kandee Johnson's rule of sealing a cream with a powder did prove useful in preventing the immediate creasing I experience first time around.  I then applied MUFE Smoky Lash Aqua, which holds a curl very well.

I was crease free for about 2 hours, but the creasing after that wasn't too bad and I didn't feel self conscious on my night out.  I'll definitely use my Molten Metals again although I still think £7 is a little steep considering you can get one of their 12 pan palettes like the fantastic Storm, for £5.99.

EOTN: Double-Winged Eye Liner

Here's my first stab at double-winged liner.  It actually looked a lot better in real life than it photographed, as both eyes don't really match!

I used L'oreal Lineur Intense to line my top lid and then moved onto the Sleek Ink Pot eye liner as the applicator is stiffer and therefore gave me more control over the 'flick'.  I have an ancient Rimmel white kohl pencil which I attempted to use in between the black lines but it really didn't come off so good!

I'll definitely try this look out again in better lighting and closer to a mirror (this attempt was made when I was in Rhodes and the hotel didn't have the best set-up for make up application) as it really makes your eyes stand out.

The eyeshadow is a mix of shades from the UD Naked Palette - Half Baked on lid, Dark Horse in crease and Sin for highlight.  Lancome Hypnose for mascara.
