Bronze smoky eye and red lips: a Human Fundamentalism FOTD
Hello there!
Currently sitting on a tram in Melbourne and about to meet with some lovely Melbourne bloggers for lunch. I’ve been here since Wednesday for a mini holiday with le bf, and to start apartment hunting. God I love this place.
Anyway, I thought I would share a bronzey eye + red lip makeup look which I drafted before the trip. This look mostly uses products from the Illamasqua Human Fundamentalism collection, which I reviewed in my last post. This was what I was wearing in my (very first) youtube video.

Illamasqua Human Fundamentalism Review: Neutral Palette, Scribe, Box, Skin Base 01
“Human Fundamentalism is the unique spirit and fundamental human drive for individuality. It’s a belief, a movement and an emotion. A connection with the spirit of the age and its global motifs. You are your own human hybrid, a unique nomad of street cultures and global trends.” Alex Box
The Illamasqua Theatre of the Nameless collection was a hard one to top, but as usual Illamasqua has done it again. I was very lucky to be sent a selection of the Illamasqua Human Fundamentalism collection to review.
What a collection! If you haven’t seen the breathtaking promo images from this collection, I highly suggest that you take a look at www.illamasqua.com.

Neutral Palette:

The Neutral Palette includes…
Stealth:
Stealth is a matte warm white that applies quite sheerly. Not a colour I can see myself using very often.
Vintage:
Vintage is a matte dark chocolate brown, that is fairly pigmented and blends easily. Quite similar in colour to MAC Mystery eyeshadow, but has a silkier texture than Mystery.
Obsidian:
Obsidian is a matte black, and my new favourite black eyeshadow. It’s the darkest/most pigmented black I own, and blends beautifully (unlike MAC Carbon, which is a chalky, patchy mess).
Wolf:
Wolf is an antique gold with an olive undertone. It’s not super frosty or metallic but has a gorgeous satiny shimmer. It’s pigmented, buttery smooth, and such a versatile colour.
price: $78 AUD
Scribe Precision Ink
Illamasqua Scribe Precision Ink
Scribe Precision Ink is a stark white eye liner, which is completely opaque in 2 layers and resembles white correction fluid.
I. LOVE. THIS.
Not something that I would use every day, but it’s great for an editorial type look, or if you want to create a look that’s a little bit dramatic/raving mad. Like below.
Price: $43.50 AUD

Becca Lost Weekend Palette: review, swatches, FOTD
Becca says…
Escape from the ordinary with the Lost Weekend Palette. This limited edition 3-hole eye colour palette washes eyes in earthy tones of nude, fawn and tan, in a combination of velvet matte and soft shimmer formulas.
Price: $65.00
Availability: David Jones , www.beccacosmetics.com
After seeing this review on Modesty Brown on the Becca Lost Weekend Palette late last year, I was intrigued by this palette- particularly the colour ‘Moire’ , because I have a weakness for dusty rose browns. I finally caved and purchased the Lost Weekend Palette a couple of months ago.
- Chino :
A matte wheat beige, which is very similar to my skin tone. Applied all over my lid it brightens it slightly, but is otherwise almost invisible.
- Moleskin:
A matte golden brown, and the most pigmented out of the three. It’s like a slightly darker version of MAC Cork, but has a much nicer texture. Buttery soft, silky, and looks wonderful on the eyes.
- Moire:
A satin/soft shimmer rosey fawn brown that gives me a sort of flushed ‘English Rose’ type look (which I’m very fond of). The colour is perfection, and the texture is silky, but a little too sheer for my liking.

Overall I still think this palette is something special and would suit paler skin tones, but I’m a little disappointed in the pigmentation of the two lighter colours. I’m having a blog sale reload, and am really agonizing over whether or not to list the Lost Weekend Palette.
