Dior Extase Pinks EOTD

Here is the Extase Pinks EOTD that has been requested. Please bear in mind that this is my very first EOTD/tutorial, and I don't think I'm very good at it! Nevermind, I'll keep practicing, and hopefully I'll get better.

The items used for this EOTD are shown below:

Paul and Joe eye colour primer 01

Dior 5 colour shadow in Extase Pinks 804

Bobbi Brown long wear gel liner Black Ink 1

Bobbi Brown ultra fine eye liner

Clinique high lengths mascara Black 01

Heated eyelash curler

I used the following colours from my new Dior palette, which I previously reviewed. I chose the pinks and purple for today's look:

I started with applying the Paul and Joe primer all over the upper lid, followed by the lightest pink shadow from the palette on top. This pink gave my eyelids a pretty, but subtle shimmer.

I then applied the medium pink shadow from the lashes to the crease of the eyelid, and the purple shadow at the bottom portion of the eyelid. I also used the purple shadow on the outer corner of the bottom lid.

I lined the upper eye with the gel liner.

I then added two coats of mascara, using Clinique high lengths mascara. This mascara added a slight curl to my lashes, so my lashes didn't really need curling with a wand.

I curled it with my heated eyelash curler anyway, to finish of the EOTD:

Here's the finished product:

I like this Dior palette alot, as it gave my eyes a really pretty dose of colour. So there you have it, my very first EOTD! Oh dear, looking back on these pictures I realised my eyebrows need serious reshaping...

Dior Extase Pinks swatches and review

I've recently bought the new Dior 5 Couleurs eyeshadow in 804, Extase pinks. I was trying to cut down on the amount of makeup I buy, but I couldn't resist this as the colours were so pretty!

It came in the usual glossy dark blue casing ...

.. and contained 5 shades of:

shimmering pink with sparkles
dark grey shimmer

irredescent silver-grey

irredescent violet with pink undertone

pale pink shimmer

I've numbered the colours to correlate with the sawtches below:

L-R: colours 1 and 2 (you can see the silver sparkles in the pink)


L-R: colours 3, 4 and 5 (5 being a great highlighter colour)

Dior's new eyeshadow palettes are said to have been made from Dior's new and improved formula to create a soft , melting texture which glides across the lid, creating a smudge-proof application (according to Sephora).

I did find the texture of these eyeshadows to be silky smooth, though no more than my older Dior palettes (and they do not glide as easily onto the eyelid as I would have liked.) However, the colours were long-lasting, fairly pigmented, and blended together quite nicely. I also like the versatility of the palette, how it can be used for all occasions throughout the day (with the light, pale colours for a pretty daytime look, and the darker colours for an evening smokey eye.)
