MOTD: L'Oréal Color Riche La Palette Nude 1 & 2

For today's makeup, I wanted to play with the L'Oréal Color Riche La Palette Nudes.

 I've had these palettes for sometime but just hadn't gotten around to using them.

Palette 1 has more neutral colors (like champagnes, browns, golds) and Palette 2 has nudes with rosy undertones (mauves, purples, etc).

I love that these palettes can be found in the drug stores for a moderate price but doesn't affect the pigmentation or quality. These rival higher end brands. You also get 10 colors (in each) for approximately $14-$16 (depending on where you buy). Now that's a steal. 

(If you think I should do swatches of the colors, let me know)

In the look I created today, I used both palettes.

I used the 2nd and 4th eyeshadows (of the Palette 1;left side) on my lid. And the last two shades (of the Palette 2: right side) in my crease, outer v, and lower lash line.

 For the lid colors, I used my fingers to apply them. You get optimal pigmentation and shine that way. I just use a blending brush to blur the harsh lines.
