I love this shadow!! Recently I did a super easy look with Shore Leave all over the lid and brow, Illegal Cargo on the outer lid and crese, and a touch of Hepcat eyeshadow in the crese for more definition. I used Signed and Sealed e/s as a liner on the top and bottom lids and wore Date Night Dazzleglass on my lips and of course Plush Lash mascara in black.
After reading this combo this morning, I tried it. Only I used Smolder for a liner….It looks great! Thanks for the tip
How awesome
Fresco Rose p/p over lid
Shore Leave e/s as highlight and center of lid
Lovely Lily e/s inner lid
Illegal Cargo e/s outer lid
Soft Brown e/s crease
Sketch e/s outer crease
Blacktrack f/l upper lid
Buried Treasure lower lid
This is probably one of my most favorite new colors!!
Hey Vanessa!
This sounds like a really lovely look
Very pretty!
I would use shore leave as the base color for my eyeshadow and use neutrals for the rest of the eye. For the cheeks I would use MAC powder blush in Strada and for the lips I would use brick lip pencil and port red lipstick!
Ohh, nice idea, Lydia!
I really like this colour!
Cash flow pp as base, Shore leave inner lid, chrome yellow centre of lid and gorgeous gold for outer lid. Maybe a bit of goldmine thrown in there somewhere too!
Ohh, great idea, Winnie! I think Cash Flow as a base would be awesome.
this is def. one of my current favs
-girl friendly or layin low paint pot on lid (doesn’t matter much, have used both)
-mutiny on lower part of lid blended up to crease.
-apply illegal cargo in crease, blend down with mutiny
-SHORE LEAVE in inner corner of eyes, blended out into eyelid/crease and used as highlighter
line eye, mascara etc
-lips=her fancy + sock hop lipglass (just a neutral-ish lip as I didn’t want my lips to be OTT)
honestly I love Illegal Cargo so much I’ve bought a backup…and am tempted to do the same with Shore Leave–such a great e/s!!
Ohh, nice combo, Lori! I think Shore Leave is an awesome color for the inner eye area!
Bare Study as a base
Shore leave all over lid
Illegal Cargo on outer lid and crease
Mothbrown on outer corner
Dirty Plum blush
Gleam l/s
Rags to Riches d/g (or Morning Glory l/g)
I like it, Nell! Shore Leave would look fantastic with Illegal Cargo and Mothbrown!
I just bought this and I loooovvvee it so much!
Shore Leave on the inner third of the lid, pink pearl pigment on the outter v, and vibrant grape in the crease. Blend blend blend! I lined with blacktrack fluidline and added a few coats of mascara. Blushbaby on the cheeks and Pink Lemonade on the lips.
Shore Leave on the inner corner, fab and flashy in the middle and a combo between eyepopping and chartreuse pigment on the outer v. I lined my top lip with a silver glitter liner from Victoria’s Secret over blacktrack. Once again, Pink Lemonade was my lip color of choice.
That’s awesome, Laura! Thanks for sharing those two looks
Shore Leave is my new fav! It goes with anything! I’ve paired it with pandamonium and carbon, shimmermoss and delft, pulm dressing and cranberry. The combos are endless!!! Hope make makes this one a keeper in the future!
Haha! It is such a nice color, and it’s definitely versatile!
