FOTD Using Smashbox In Bloom Eyeshadow Palette

This FOTD was created using my current favourite eyeshadow palette - Smashbox In Bloom. This palette has a range of pretty, easy to use shades that I find will be perfect for Summer/ Autumn.


Please ignore my hair. It's at that really awkward stage of growing the fringe out. This is probably the first post in a long while that anyone's seen my eyebrows!


Sorry for the extremely blurry shot of my products used!



Products Used:

Estee Lauder Idealist Even Skintone Illuminator
Sunplay Skin Aqua Moisture BB cream
By Terry Hyaluronic Eye Primer
Smashbox In Bloom Eye Shadow Palette
Bobbi Brown Gel Liner, Black
Estee Lauder Double Wear Mascara
Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge, Pale Pink
Bobbi brown Lip Colour Pink


To prep my skin, I used Estee Lauder's New Idealist Skintone Illuminator. It's a skincare product that is designed to perfect skintone whilst providing a subtle illuminating effect.


I've had this product for two weeks and really love it. I normally use it in the morning under my daily moisturiser and it really brightens up my skin.


I've taken a couple of holidays in the last month and though I religiously apply sunscreen, I've noticed uneven pigmentation especially around the nose area. So for this FOTD, I applied Sunplay Skin Aqua Moisture BB Cream on the notice to even out my skintone.


From the Smashbox Palette, I selected a pale rose gold shade and a moss green (top left, bottom right).


Here are swatches of the two shades:


I used the rose gold shade all over the upper lip, from the lash line to the crease. I then applied black eyeliner, and brushed the moss green shadow on top of the lash line to soften the eyeliner.



I then applied a coat of mascara to the lashes to finish of my eye-makeup.

For my lips and cheeks, I chose to go bright and pink.


I used Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge in Pale Pink on my cheeks, and love the subtle glow cream blushes give to the cheeks. It's a Bobbi Brown filled FOTD today as I'm using Bobbi Brown Lipstick in Pink on my lips.

  18. Beautiful! It looks really nice for warm weather - all pink and shimmery.
    And I think your fringe looks nice still! I wish mine could look like that whenever I decide to grow the fringe out.
