Hope you all have had a good weekend. I'm kicking off the week with a review of the Illamasqua Complement Palette. This palette has indeed been around for a while but it's new to me, and as such a fan of the Illamasqua shadow range, I totally love this palette and thought I would share the love with you all!
The palette consists of three powder shadows and one liquid metal which is basically a cream shadow. On the top left is Slink - a shimmery champagne colour which is perfect for popping in the tear duct and for using as a highlight. Below Slink is Forgiveness, a beautiful purple colour which makes for a gorgeous smokey eye alternative - I absolutely love this shadow as it's so warming and pretty. Next to is Queen of the Night, a much deeper purple colour with a lot more shimmer which again you could use for a smokey eye but as it's quite dark, I personally prefer it just blended into the outer corners or used as a liner. Last but not least is the Liquid Metal in the top right called Focus, I think this is such a gorgeous cream shadow, on first look it appears as a warm brown colour but it is shot through with grey and green to make it really stand out and it just looks so beautiful. You can use this as a base for a smokey eye but it also looks fantastic just on it's own for a quick smokey shadow fix.
Although the palette is quite Autumnal in colour and shades, I think it makes a great quad for all year round with each shadow really wearable and useful, especially for an alternative smokey eye look. I personally will be taking this palette right into the Summer as I think the cream shadow would look amazing on tanned skin paired with a red lip for a fast but beautiful Summer look!
Talking of Summer... I can't wait! It's been such a long Winter here and some sun is much needed!
