Color Blocking has been a very popular fashion statement on the runways and now the “Eyes Have It”!!! Colorful eyes brightly shadowed with purples, blues, and greens lit up the runways this Fall. So what’s trending? (Quote~ rae Cosmetics) “The eyes will definitely make a statement! Think of the brightly colored plumes of a peacock and you get the idea!”
I was delighted to have the opportunity to try two of the beautiful new colored eyeshadow palettes launched by CEO and creator of rae Cosmetics, Rochelle Rae. Rochelle has created three stunning three well eye shadow palettes (pictured below) with color groupings that all of us can wear with ease, express our own individual look and be right in style!
I received the rae “Extremely Violet” eyeshadow palette, and the “Green with Envy” Shadow palette. A rae “Turquoise Tantrum” eyeshadow palette is also available. A real plus is that these eyeshadow shades are refillable and come in a very chic compact.
I used to model, and still love to keep up with the trends, but I like to be able to adapt them to my current style, and I found these shadows very versatile and nice to work with. They blend very easily and since they can be used wet or dry you may even use them to line your eyes or use them wet and create a bold “High Fashion” statement! Whatever your mood ,you can be as extreme or conservative as you like with the rae eye shadow palette compacts!
To top it off….(Quote) “As with all rae Cosmetics’ products, these new additions are infused with protective anti-oxidants, Vitamins A, C and E and of course, SPF protection from the winter sunshine!” Needless to say, I was very impressed.
Here is an example of a mid range look on my eyes using Extremely Violet on one eye and Green with Envy on the other for comparison. I used the brushes included in the shadow palette compacts, and for lining I used a small tapered liner brush for creating a smudged line by my lashes. These shadows are highly pigmented. I slightly dampened the brush that I used for lining my eyes when using the shadows. These colors are so perfectly shaded that they truly enhance the color of your eyes but don’t overpower them. They also stay put and don’t flake or smear. That is a real plus! I did not put mascara on for demonstration purposes so you could see more of the shadow placement.
1. Extremely Violet is on the first eye. I used a softer lined smudge of color on this eye with the darkest color in the palette.
2. Green with Envy is on the second eye. I used a more defined but smudged line on this eye with the darkest color in the palette.
