Today I'm doing a Sexy Smokey Boudoir Eye look using Too Faced's Boudoir Eyes palette. I saw this look on Maryam Maquillage's website and I really really loved what she did using this palette. I would have never thought to use 7 different eyeshadows for one look, and her look was so beautiful and perfect that I just had to try it myself and show you how you can do it too. I find when I use the Glamour Guides and I do the looks using the 3 eyeshadows in a row, I find a have a harder time thinking outside the box and figuring out how I can use a palette and mix all the eyeshadows together into a new look. Maryam's look is just sooo gorgeous and really inspires me to start thinking outside the box more. Especially with this palette, you're totally able to create a new look, whereas with the Smokey Eye palette, you're pretty much limited to your browns, blacks, and purples. It's harder to mix and match when the looks are so different. But with the Boudoir Eyes palette, the eyeshadows in all the looks can definitely be rearranged to form a new look.
So my look turned out to be its own thing. I find in Maryam's look, the colors are extremely well blended and I just don't have the patience for that sort of thing. It already took me quite a while to just do what I did. Not to mention you're using 7 eyeshadows. 7!! I decided to use the new Too Faced Pink Leopard bronzer and test it out. I wore it with Benefit Bella Bamba because I usually wear this blush all the time, so it would help me determine how I liked the bronzer, and the differences and all that. And for a change, I opted for NARS Larger Than Life Lipgloss in International Velvet.
So I want to note again that from now on, I am using the NEW Too Faced Pink Leopard Blushing Bronzer. So far, I noticed that it is a lot lighter than its predecessor. I would call it more of a brightening bronzer than blushing, the pink is not half as deep as the previous one. I find the new one reminds me of Snow Leopard. I do think I prefer the old one, but old habits do die hard. I'm going to test it out for a few more days and I'll eventually write a comparison between the two. I would very much like to know what your preference is, so be sure to leave a comment at the bottom. Old Pink Leopard or New Pink Leopard??
