Multi-Platinum Palette from LORAC

%20kate-hudson-blown-away-babe-40.jpgI’ve been very into colored eye liner lately (love the ones from Clarins), which is pretty rare for me, so I’ve been sticking to more neutral/dark metallic shadows for my eyes, which I think is fitting with fall coming-up — right?! What’s great about colored eye liner is that you can just throw it on along with some shadow and mascara and your face is instantly livened-up — how effortlessly fresh does Kate Hudson’s makeup look?  LORAC has a wonderful palette to go with your colored eye pencils — it’s their new Multi-Platinum Palette, $37 and it’s for eyes and cheeks. It’s a spin-off of LORAC’s Croc Palette, $35 so it has the same faux-croc exterior which I have to say I’m not the biggest fan of, but I can ignore it because for $37 even though I only like 4 out of the 6 eye colors and don’t need the blush, is a steal. The colors are nice and soft, and long-lasting (didn’t reapply all day). They have a slight shimmer which I love and you can use them wet or dry. Another stand-out from the new LORAC collection is their Double Feature Concealer/Highligher, $24 — this has about a million different uses, but I like it best because it’s a quick cover-up for dark circles which is essential when prepping your eyes for all the attention they’ll be getting with colored eye pencils!!

  1. I’ll have to check these products out. Although I like my makeup to look somewhat natural/bohemian, I’m a big fan of using some color around the eyes to liven things up a bit.

  2. I agree! everyone needs color to liven up just around the eyes. Love kate hudson and this is a much better photo than the one on cover of W where she looks like a cougar.

  3. She looks so scary on the cover of W!! Like some superhero gone wrong and it’s a shame because her makeup is usually wonderfully light and natural-looking.

    Ive never heard of this brand in the UK, so when Im state side I will check it out! You mention covering up dark circle I know your a bit of a product junkie I used to use YSl touch eclait and now use Est Lauder sticks to cover up my dark circles do you have any other tips on a fab product for your dark bits!?

  5. Another great one to cover your dark circles is Chanel Teint Poudre Mat Eclat — I always stock-up when I’m in Paris/Munich because they don’t have it in the states for some weird reason:)Thanks for the tips I need to check out the Lauder sticks!

  6. Yes, she does look like a cougar on W. This other picture is good & I am NO fan of KW. What should someone be careful of when they wear colored liner (so they won’t look cougarish)?
