Looks - Talent Pool is Super Teal

Weekly Features
Christine |

I wore this look yesterday, because I figured it was time for a brighter look 🙂 I did a neutral look on Sunday for my sister’s birthday dinner (happy 18th!), but I’ll post that tomorrow!

You will need the following…

  • Eyes: Gilded Green pigment (cool pastel green), Talent Pool eyeshadow (teal), Deep Truth eyeshadow (dark blue), Smoke & Diamonds eyeshadow (gray with gold flecks), Femme-fi eyeshadow (cool neutral), Mystery kohl power (teal-black), Lancome Oscillation mascara (black)
  • Cheeks: Nuance mineralize blush (soft peach)
  • Lips: Style It Up lipstick (creamy nude), C-Thru lipglass (nude)
  • Brushes: 266 (firm, angled brush), 239 (fluffy shadow brush), 129 (dense blush brush)
  • Substitutes: Gilded Green = Lucky Jade; Talent Pool = Shimmermoss; Smoke & Diamonds = Silver Ring; Femme-fi = Shroom; Mystery = Minted + Smolder; Nuance = Peachykeen; Style It Up = Cherish

Directions: Define brows using a coordinating powder shadow applied with the 266 brush. Apply Gilded Green pigment all over the lid as the base with the 239. All over the lid, apply Talent Pool eyeshadow using the 239. Apply Deep Truth to the outer edge of the lid and dragging into the crease. Darken the outer crease with Smoke & Diamonds eyeshadow. Sweep Femme-fi eyeshadow underneath the brow bone to highlight. Finish with Mystery kohl power on lower lash line, and black mascara on lashes. Sweep apples of cheeks with Nuance using the 129. Apply Cherish lipstick to lips, and then top with C-Thru lipglass for color and shine.

I love the combo of blues/teals, it’s beautifully done 😀 I’m usually not a fan of teal-y colours, but I really love how you did this! It makes me want to revisit these colours 🙂

I love this look ! Teals are gorgeous on you. The lips really pull the look together nicely also. I’m still trying to decide if I need Smoke & Diamonds =/

This is beyond gorgeous! I was having issues getting Talent Pool to pop for me yesterday. I’ll have to try using a green base under it.

Lovin’ this e/s combo!! I like that you change up the looks here 🙂 Some neutral, some color, some bright, some subtle. very nice!

So… Talent Pool is getting all the raves (and I see why) but it also seems super duper close to Parrot. What’s your take?

I second that question..
Christine, can you swatch them side by side, pretty please?!?! :o)
Lovely look, greens and teals look equally great with your brown eyes *jealous*

Thanks, Ariele! I try, LOL, but it is hard to sometimes 🙂

It’s similar to Parrot – I like that it has more color pay off than Parrot, and it’s not quite as frosty. But they’re similar, and if you don’t wear Parrot a lot, no need to get Talent Pool.

Such gorgeous colors!
I love teal, although the most I wear is a thin line on the upper lash line in an otherwise neutral look. But it is a start…
Your expression in the second full face pic is especially pretty!

It’s a beautiful look.. I’ll have to try it myself.. I love teals although I don’t wear them that often.
Christine did you use a primer before applying the pigment?

I think you look beautiful, these colors really compliment you well. Question I had seen that Talent Pool was compared to Parrot, do you think Shimmermoss is a better comparision?
