Week of Sleek: Original & Tutorial

Here is my Original swatches, thoughts and picture tutorial :)

I seriously love these palettes. This one is awesome because of all the colour selection and the vibrancy of the colours. That purple.. TO DIE FOR!! They cause a bit of fallout but nothing that would deter me from buying them, it's more useful to do your eye makeup before face makeup for that exact reason.





The following is a tutorial using the Original palette and other products I have. 
A lot of people are scared of using colour, especially blue, but you can make it look as tasteful or dramatic as you want. It can play up your eye colour as well.

 Prime those eyes!
 Eyebrow time
 MAC Soft Brown (yes I know, it looks mental) and a Quo fluffy brush
 Put all above your crease, this will be your transition colour
 Blue from the Sleek iDivine Original on Sigma E56
 Pat onto lid
 MAC Pigment in Spruced (from Christmas 2012 collection) on Sigma E56
 Pat onto the centre of lid on top of the blue
 Take more of MAC Spruced onto Sigma E21
 Put under lashline
 Navy blue from Sleek iDivine Original on Urban Decay double ended brush
 Put above crease, blend into the Soft Brown
 MAC Crystal on a Coastal Scents small dome brush
 Blend into inner corner of eye and a bit on the inner third of the lid
 MAC Plumage on Sigma E36 (I LOVE THIS BRUSH)
 Blend into crease and inner v, darken and add dimension
 MAC Forgery (pathetic amount left..) on Coastal Scents small dome brush
 Add a bit on top of the pigment and on top of Crystal, blend in well
 MAC Shroom on Coastal Scents small dome brush
 Use under brows to highlight
 Coastal Scents large fluffy brush to blend out any harsh edges and clean up look
 Black eyeliner and Sigma E17
 Apply to lashline but NOT in waterline and blend
 MAC Fascinating Eye Kohl onto lower waterline
 Maybelline Eyestudio Gel Liner and Sigma E11
 Apply and make cat liner
 Covergirl Clump Crusher (amazing mascara, I never buy expensive mascara)
 Apply accordingly
 TADA
 Doesn't look so scary, right?!
 Really makes brown/hazel eyes pop, LOVE IT!
All I'm wearing on my skin is MAC Studio Fix Power Foundation because I'm lazy as fack

Hope this helped :) 2 more palettes to go.. Hopefully will have both up tomorrow in a combined post.
Let me know if you want to see more tutorials!
