apple, I think you need a copper pigment not bronze. Also, that photo looks retouched and the colours adjusted. What is going wrong when you try it?

(Btw only the second attachment is working)

AB…first link isn’t working but the look you see in the second picture was created using Miss Rose 110 shadow palette.

NYX palettes are actually great for variety and value. But if you’re looking for professional use…sometimes they can fall short if you get a bad batch.

For blending, I use a lot of plain old Sigma brushes. My favorite brushes for this look are the Sigma E45, E46, E55 and E25.

For the shadow, I used the black on the inner corner on top, a dark copper (not gold) for the center of the lid and black again for the crease.

And the copper on the bottom.

Oehhh u seem gooodd in makeup!!! :D

Re: how to choose eyeshadows for a palette?

i am not good in blending i guess or may using the wrong brush to create a nice precise crease.

jazakAllah reha :hugz: i dont own any copper color i have UD ammo palette can you tell any close match to the copper shade which u have used?can i use smog? here is the pic Urban Decay Ammo Eyeshadow Palette (2013 Edition) Review, Photos, Swatches

and please tell me how to use mac217? i feel like i am not using it in the correct way :bummer:

Re: how to choose eyeshadows for a palette?

Smog is a dark golden brown so would give nothing like this look. If anything UD baked would be nearer but really, you need a copper. Mac copper sparke would give you the intensity you're looking for.

Re: how to choose eyeshadows for a palette?

The closest I can think of is Chopper. Smog won’t work as its too earthy.

The one I used is a really bright color so that’s why you see it more.

So the E25 is the popular dupe for the 217…love this brush so much. I use it every single day for blending.

All you need to do is swirl…learn how to swirl this brush along the crease…the socket of your eye. The bone is your guide and that’s how your brush travels. I actually use a different brush to deposit color and then the E25 to blend…so I create a crease and then blend depending upon what kind of look I am going for. If I want a really really soft look, the color gets blended well. If I want some drama, then not so much blending. Finally, highlight your browbone. At the end, you make sure you clean up any fallout with concealor and you’re done!

Re: how to choose eyeshadows for a palette?

Your crease should be either a a.) bronze, if you are using a warm metallic color. b.) a terracotta, if you are using a warm primary color on your lid. c.) a deep pink if you are using a 'cool' primary color on your lid.

Crease colors should be colors you could use either as a blush or a lipstick.
