This week, Helen and Ellie have challenged me to use my Sleek Makeup Palette. The Sunset Palette is a truly gorgeous palette but it contains mainly shimmery shadows apart from the black. As I don’t wear shimmery eyeshadow in the crease of my eye and beyond the crease, it was mission impossible straight from the start. Or was it?
I had 2 options: give up totally the challenge and use another Sleek makeup palette or cheat a little bit and add an eyeshadow from another Sleek palette. I have got pride and I hate giving up things, soooo I was left with no other option than to incorporate a little bit of brown. This series has taught me a lot and I’ll probably will want to get rid of this palette afterwards as it has proven too difficult for me to use.
Without further ado, my predictable look:
And now for the full face, obviously not happy with my look, for having cheated this week:
Do you feel this look is representative of the Sleek Sunset Palette?
Something is missing, don’t you think? Let’s add a bit of blue.
As I don’t really like blue on my lower lashline or waterline, how about blue … eyebrows?
Shall we go ahead with that and have a bit of fun?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Nah, this is not working. This blue shadow is not ‘popping out’ as bright as I wanted to. Introducing my trusted Ben Nye face paint (will blog about this someday as I loooove it) since this week is a fail and I’ve cheated already :(
OK. I think this is QUITE blue enough! It was fun playing with my eyebrows. Sadly this palette is not doing it for me, as it predominantly shimmery.
Ladies and gentlemen, give a big hand to the sleekettes for this week.

I am so so so sorry to have run out of time for the faces-in-the-sleek-pans feature :/
I lost the files for the pictures I had already prepared and now I am running of time to post this on time. I’ll do better next week. My god, I am a disappointment this week!

It's very......bright.
I love the blue eyebrows so crazy, I'd like to see you go out with them on for milk:P
very pretty look though, I love the shimmer on you xxx
I really love this look - I was just looking through me Sleek palettes last night and forgot I have Sunset - it's practically untouched so I really must do something with it. Love your blending skills x
Aww, don't get rid of the palette that look is so pretty!
Everytime I go into Superdrug it's sold out, maybe I'll strike lucky by the time I get paid, I need another sleek palette... :P
I love the look on you!
Ps. This mobile template makes it so much easier to comment! :)
I was totally agreeing when I read "Let's add some blue". Then I saw the blue eyebrows and literally lol'ed, haha. Love the eyelook, very sunset-like! x
Love the sunset look :) x
It's a shame there's not one shadow without shimmer part from black. IMO cheating is allowed in cases such as this
I love the look! I think you captured the image of "sunset" quite well :) Sunset is my favorite palette too, so I'm always happy to see people using it! :)
I loved the look you created! And the brows? SMURFTASTIC!
ooh looks halloween-y/pumpkin-y .. i like!
I totally forgot to enter for the sleek saturday today... doh! next week tho I hope to.. must set a reminder!! <3
damn woman ! you keeep coming up with amazing breath taking eye makeup. i loved the smurfs in the last photo
Great bold look, really like it :-)
Thank you for letting me join in sleek saturday with you, it was fun x
Smurf me, I love those eyebrows! Gorgeous look with and without the crazy brows Liloo :)
(I use NYX JEP in Milk on my brows first when I colour them, fyi. My brows are quite light but it might help.)
gorgeous look!
I love the blue ;) ok maybe not but I did like the red you used, that was striking! I don't own this palette but find if there is too much shimmer in a palette it gets put on the shelf once I've swatched it - just don't tell my other half! I told him I use them all the time ;) You are just too talented Liloo!
Love Mel xxxx
Oh wow eyeshadow is fabulous :).
I think this is amazing - actually love your eyeshadow!

oh Lord, I ADORE THIS LOOK O.o
first time on your blog, and this just blew me away..
Muahahahaha! The blue eyebrows made me laugh out loud!
Seriously love the look you have created though, I don't think it's predictable at all and I'm glad you cheated a little bit rather than giving up on the palette altogether.
