I decided to go dark for today's EOTD. The main reason I did this was because I wanted to use an eyeshadow I've always wanted to try: The Body Shop's Mineral eyeshadow in Deep Jade. I've had this for quite a while now but I haven't had the chance to use it until now. I have to say, I think I like it! I initially thought it would be a mess to use considering that it's a loose shadow but nope, all I got was minimal fallout, just like the fallout I get from regular eyeshadows. Plus the gold shimmers in it adds oomph to it, especially when applied. This mineral shadow gets a thumbs-up!

How I did it:

1. I started with a green pencil as lid base. I applied the pencil all over my lid and blended it with my finger.

2. Then I patted Deep Jade all over the lid. Remember not to sweep the shadow as it will be messier and the color will be less intense.

3. I used Buck for my crease and outer lid.

4. I highlighted my brow bone with Virgin, my go-to highlighter.

5. Going back to Deep Jade, I applied the shadow on my lower lid without a base. As you can see, it's less intense which I think balances the heaviness of the upper lid and somewhat brightens the look.

6. I next made a wing liner on my upper lid and I also lined my waterline.

7. I applied mascara on my top and bottom lashes and I put on fake lashes because I was feeling fancy. :P
