Getting dolled up for the Glitterati Prive event was a lot of fun because I don’t get many opportunities to wear heavy makeup. Well, I do actually, but doing a smokey look takes me fifteen minutes longer because of all the blending I have to do, and sometimes I just don’t have the time for it. I made sure that I did on Wednesday though!
To match the deep blue-violet color of my dress, I did a smokey eye from the same color family using a lilac shadow from the Kat Von D Memento Mori palette. The shadow ended up looking more periwinkle in the photos though; upon closer inspection, I realized that this particular color has periwinkle shimmer that stands out under the flash.

OK, question: how do you avoid fallout with dark eye make-up?
What brush do you use? I think fallout is largely due to the brush and the way you apply it. When I first started, my only eyeshadow brush was the fluffy one from ELF. I’d swipe it all over my lids and it would cause fallout galore. Then I got proper brush set and noticed that the stiff eyeshadow brushes caused very minimal fallout, and no fallout at all if I pat the shadow on instead of swiping it. If all else fails, just get rid of the fallout with a cotton bud dipped in makeup remover, then reapply your foundation. :)
Oh, the really fluffy eyeshadow brush from my Suesh set. Maybe it has to do with my application technique, too. Usually when I’m in a hurry, I just swipe everything in one go. Hence, fallout.
I read a tutorial about putting white eyeshadow under your eyes so if eyeshadow gets there, you can just blend. But it doesn’t really work for me.
Anyway, I will try your suggestions! Thanks!
