| UPDATE: Estée Lauder and all of their subsidiary companies, including M.A.C, Clinique, Smashbox and Aveda, are no longer cruelty-free (read read here) as they have resumed live animal testing in order to sell in China. Due to this change I am boycotting all brands owned by Estée Lauder and will no longer be purchasing from them. All products I own will be used up and not repurchased. |
I created this look using the M.A.C Limited Edition Dame Edna eye shadow palette called Wisteria Eye Trio. The blue colour looks more vivid in person than in this picture. I’m not sure why this is called wisteria since all the wisterias I’ve ever seen have been white, pink and purple. I don’t think there are any wisterias that are blue, but I could be wrong. This look uses a shimmery silver shadow (luster), a semi-matte sky blue (velvet) and a soft matte black shadow (velvet).
