Shady Lady look

Using my Shady Lady palette was awesome due to the fact that the shadows are easy to manage and are true in color. I just wanted to clarify that this palette is mostly for earthy or neutral looks...whatever color you fancy you can use to your liking.....You can use only 1 color by itself or dress it up by adding color in the crease or adding a contour color, etc.

Sure you can't really identify a bright, funky color in the palette but you can also spike it with the darkest shade for a dramatic look.

Anywho, here is the Soft greenish Taupe look I came up with:

I remember briefly talking about the palette in my May Haul posting but just to reiterate the palette can be found at Sephora.com, I'm not sure about Sephora stores, I have checked but found nothing. I found that buying The Balm products from their website are cheaper since Sephora.com will charge you tax and shipping.
The Balm also offers a few other beauty products such as lipstick, blush, and tinted moisturizer to name a few...and the packaging is quite cute as it echos a similarity with Benefit cosmetics!

Sorry...I had to!

The palette has plenty of neutral colors....and they are very versatile.....
