End Of Summer Blues | Turquoise Eyes Using Barry M Pigments

I have a lot of blue eyeshadows that I occasionally use, yet I haven't touched 2 beautiful shades since I got my hands on them. Both of them are Dazzle Dusts by Barry M. It's not a surprise that both of them are gorgeous. Continue reading for the full face make-up and details.

I received samples of 2 Barry M Dazzle Dusts 3 years ago a while ago. I put them in my eyeshadow drawer because the plastic baggie they came in did a great job at hiding the true beauty of the shades. A few weeks ago I decided to pull them out and examine the colours by swatching them. I'm glad I did because the shades are beyond wonderful.

My favourite of the two shades is called Kingfisher, it is the exact colour of the beautiful Kingfisher birds. Surprisingly the shade turned out to be duochrome, and you know how much I love my duochrome shadows. It has a pretty turquoise base that shifts into a greenish gold shade. You can imagine how crazy it would look over a black base! Need to try that out as well. You can see the Kingfisher shade on the inner part of my lid.

The other shade I used is called Pearly Mauve, and instead of being mauve, it is a stunning periwinkle colour. Periwinkle (and cornflower blue) would be my favourite colour if I had to choose one. I applied it to the outer part of my lid.

I used different camera settings here, that's why these two photos look slightly darker.
