Tutorial: Easy Chocolate Bar Palette Eyeshadow

Tutorial: Easy Chocolate Bar Palette Eyeshadow

This is a really easy eye shadow look using the Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette.

Start out by priming your eyes. I use Lorac Behind the Scenes Primer.

Apply White Chocolate (matte, cream) from the crease to the brow bone. I use a Sigma E60 for this step.

 Apply Marzipan (shimmer, warm pink) to the center of the lid. I use a MAC 242 for this step to pat the color on.

Apply Amaretto (shimmer, muted burgundy) to both corners. I use a pencil brush for this.

Put a tad of  Milk Chocolate (matte, light brown) to the crease and blend up. I use a Sigma E45 to place & then blend with a MAC 217

Now, deepen up the edges a touch more with Cherry Cordial (matte, red brown).

Highlight the inner corner of the eye, the center of the lid and the brow bone with Champagne Truffle. I used a Sigma E45 for this.

Add some winged liner. Here I used Kat Von D liner in Trooper.

Smudge a bit of Semi-Sweet along the bottom lash line using a pencil brush.

Add some mascara (and lashes) and you're done!

Left to Right - Revolt, Gonzo, Slowburn, Savage, Fringe, Chaos, Jilted, Urban, Freak & Thrash

No flash

Revolt (bright, metallic silver shimmer with silver glitter): Revolt is a bright silver, goes on well, a tad chunkier than others in texture.

Gonzo (bright turquoise matte with floating tonal pearl): Gonzo is a beautiful cool blue, blends well.

Slowburn (bright red-orange matte with floating pearl): A deep orange leaning towards red, also has a bit of micro glitter. This shade is not FDA approved for the eye area.

Savage (bright hot-pink matte): Super pretty, cool pink, very bright. Blends well. It does stain if you don't have a primer on. Also not FDA approved for the eye area.

 Fringe (bright metallic teal): This is one of my favorites. It blends so well, almost cream texture, and a beautiful teal. 

Chaos (bright blue matte with floating tonal pearl): This is one that can give you trouble blending if you use too much and too sticky of a base. 

Jilted (bright metallic fuchsia with blue shift): This color gives me the most staining if I don't have a base shadow down under it. The fuchsia to blue shift is SO gorgeous. Not FDA approved for the eye area.

Urban (bright metallic purple): This color is my new favorite purple. It's very purple, very pigmented and blends wonderfully. Also not FDA approved for the eye area.

 Freak (bright green with gold shift): Very fun green, I have no other colors like it. Blends well.

Thrash (bright lime green matte with floating gold pearl): My favorite green I own. Very nice as an inner corner highlight, if you're into that. This shadow is the one I get the least payoff with, it needs a primer for sure.

Price: 8.5/10 

 Each eye shadow pan is 1.2 grams, so the palette a total of 12 grams of product. The amount of product and taking into account how pigmented they are makes it a good price for the palette. The palette also comes with a brush which is actually not that bad.

Pigmentation: 9/10

The pigmentation on these is pretty crazy. They are pressed pigments, so they apply better over a sticky base, but if you wear a base you barely need any product. The only color I don't get as much payoff as I'd like is Thrash.

Texture: 9/10

The texture is very nice, almost creamy feeling. They glide on and blend out because of this odd texture.

Packaging: 7.5/10

The packaging is sturdy which is something I like. It's plastic or something and hard, so it's not going to break. It is a tad bulky, a touch thicker than my Naked 2 and I prefer sleek packaging. The packaging looks cool, full of color, like colored clouds. Overall, looks cool, but personally not my style.

Overall Quality: 10/10 
The packaging is sturdy, the colors are super pigmented, the color selection is pretty good & the colors work on all parts of your face. Overall, I'm a big fan.

Repurchase: Yes

I use colored shadows frequently & I also like that I can use these anywhere on the face. I also love the texture.

Pros: Texture, pigmentation, colors, versatility

Cons: Could use more warm colors, not for sensitive eyes

Overall, I really like the palette and I have been using it a lot. I've used it to create specific looks just using this palette and also to just ad a touch of color here and there. I think this palette is a good start for someone who wants to wear more color, since you'll get a lot of colors and with 10 pans of 1.2 grams you'd probably end up spending more money buying the colors as singles. However, if you have sensitive eyes or know you're sensitive to red/pink pigments, I'd pass unless you're okay with not using four of the colors on your eyes. If you don't have eye sensitivities and you love color or would like to start adding pops of color, I'd highly recommend it.

Tutorial: Colorful Electric Palette look

I have moved my blog! It is now located at www.rebeccashoresmua.com/ check my Index of Post to see my posts that are on this website and follow me on Bloglovin so you can see my new posts!

 Start out with priming your eyes. I also used a bit of NYX White Base over my lid.

Apply Freak  (bright green with gold shift, slight smimmer) half way across the lid. I use a MAC 242 and pat the color on.

Apply Fringe (bright metallic teal,slight shimmer) to the other half of the lid, I used a MAC 242 again.

Now we're going to make the color blend nice, so I took my MAC 242 again and patted Freak over the center of the lid.

Here I applyed MAC Wedge (medium-light, neutral brown, matte) just above the crease. I used a Sigma E40 for this step.

Apply  Chaos (bright blue with floating tonal pearl, matte) to the outer two thirds of the crease. I used a Sigma E45 for this.

Apply Urban (bright metallic purple, slight simmer) right on top of Choas and blend into Chaos and up. I used a Simga E45 to place and color and a MAC 217 to blend.

Blend Jilted (bright metallic fuchsia with blue shift, slight shimmer) on top of Urban. We're basically repeating the pervious step, but with another color.

At this point at a look at your work, blend any hard lines. Since the colors are very bold, you wanna make sure they are blended very well and look clean.

Pat a bit of Thrash (bright lime green with floating gold pearl, matte) on to the inner corner. I used a MAC 242 for this.

Add a highlight. I use The Balm Mary Loumanizer on a Sigma E45.

Throw on some winged liner, I also have lashes on at this step.

Smudge some Urban two thirds of the way on the lower lash line. I use the small end of the brush that comes with the Electric Palette.

Add some black to the outer corner and blend with a clean pencil brush, then just add some mascara!

Purple and Green Look with Urban Decay Electric Palette

Here's the look we'll be creating.

Prime your eyes! I am using Lorac Behind the Scenes primer. Also add a base shadow (matte shadow close to your skin tone) from the crease to brow bone. I used MAC Blanc Type. So sorry for how black my eyes are, I tried another look right before this and apparently didn't do a good job getting my liner off.

Apply a white base to just over half your lid. I used Rimmel Kohl Liner in White.

Blend Mac Wedge (matte, light neutral brown) from the crease to half way up the brow. I used a Sigma E40 for this.

 Take Makeup Forever 17 (matte, chocolate brown) on a Sigma E45. Run it through the crease and blend it up slightly.

Run some black into the outer v, I am using SauceBox Black Widow (matte, black).

Blend it out!

Pat Thrash (slight shimmer, lime green) over the white base.

Blend a bit more Makeup Forever 17.

I then packed on even more Thrash, since I wanted it to be really green.

Clean up any fall out at this point.

Take Urban (slight shimmer, royal purple) and run it along the lash line. Using the smaller end of the brush that comes with the Electric Palette works well for this.

Blend Urban out.

Add a bit of Jilted (matte, bright pink) just under Urban.

Blend those colors together.

Add some winged liner, highlight the inner corner and brow bone and add mascara.

Here's the finished look, I also added Pixi Luxe lashes.

Brows for Redheads

Hey guys! So this week I did two video tutorials with my littler sister Rachel. We did two looks: a bold brow and a natural brow. Next week I should have my normal styled posts. I just got new lighting, so I am rearranging my set up & I wasn't able to make a text and picture tutorial. Also, let me know what tutorials and content you'd like to see in the comments. Pretty please!
