How much research do you do prior to purchasing?

How much research do you do prior to purchasing?

In beauty, not much, since I tend to purchase new products sight unseen and don’t read reviews ahead of time so I can form my own opinion! In other areas of my life, I definitely do a fair amount of research for anything more expensive.

Dusk in the Desert ft. Sydney Grace on the Horizon (Light)

Dusk in the Desert ft. Sydney Grace on the Horizon (Light)

Here’s a look using all twelve shades from the Sydney Grace On the Horizion (Light) palette, though it could easily be dialed down as the lower lash line contains an assortment of additional shades!

The Jewel-Toned Rainbow of My Dreams ft. Sydney Grace Radiant Reflection (Deep)

This look features all 12 shades from the Deep version of the Radiant Reflection palette. The Light palette would give the crease less intensity overall but everything else would appear very similar.

Reaching for My Constellation ft. Sydney Grace Quintessence (Light)

Here’s a look using several shades from Sydney Grace’s Quintessence (Light) palette! I really liked how Borealis and My Constellation came together — not sure it’s a pairing I’ve done before, and there’s a grungy quality to it that calls to me.
