Danessa Myricks Lightwork Volume 4 | Look No. 2

Описание: This second look with the Danessa Myricks Lightwork 4 Palette was an experiment to see how the Aqua Chrome shade AURA would work used as a base. I mainly wanted to know if it would hold up in the crease and if I would be able to apply other powder shadows over top without ruining it. For the first question, the quick answer is no. It doesn’t work used in place of a primer and does not last for very long before cracking and flaking off in the crease. I feel it would probably hold up just fine used as an eyeliner or perhaps the lower lashline, somehwere the skin doesn’t move much and isn’t disturbed much throughout the day. As for applying shadows over top, that worked well. Once it dried down, it didn’t move and didn’t flake when touched with my brushes to apply other colors over it. I tried using an eyeshadow primer underneath AURA on one eye and that really didn’t work well at all, do not recommend lol. It made creasing/flaking worse.

I applied AWAKENING over AURA so it was hard to tell how opaque it was but from what I could tell, it seemed to show up well. There was a tiny bit of fallout even after tapping the brush off but it didn’t stick to my under eye area. ANGELS applies more heavily than I expect for having a clear base. It is packed with sparkle, so even attempting to be light handed with it, I end up with more of a solid layer than a dusting of glimmer from it. PARADISE is a Pressed Chrome Flake shade and it has a waxy feel to the touch. It picks up fine with a finger but doesn’t stick to a brush as readily. I wanted to use it in somewhat of a more precise way than my fingers could do, so I used a thick eyeliner brush. All this to say that it took me a long time to get it applied the way you see it here but it did stay put all day long.
