Minimalist Beauty: Duochrome Eyeshadows (Part 2)

Assalamu alaykum!

This post is part of the Minimalist Beauty series. To know more about this series, click here.

As promised in the previous post, here are a couple ways in which I love to use duochrome eyeshadows:

1- Applying a matte colour to the crease with a duochrome eyeshadow on the lid makes for a beautiful eye look giving it incredible depth and dimension. (I personally love to do this!)

Here is a beautiful example of application of this technique:

2- Manipulate the eyeshadow. You can get different results from one duochrome eyshadow by applying it on different coloured bases. Pretty understandable! Here is an example picture:

I love duochrome eyeshadows. Especially if you have a smaller eyelid space (like me!) compared to most people. I highly recommend getting some duochrome's in your collection. They take the eye look to another level by adding depth and sparkle. It's a fun and easy way to make your eyes the focus of your look.

Some of my favourite duochromes from my makeup collection are:

1) NYX Single Eyeshadow in Morocco
2) NYX Chrome Eyeshadow in Princess.
3) Mikyajy Sabaya Starlights in 01
4) MAC Paint Pot in Rubenesque
5) MAC Eyeshadow in Expensive Pink
