Starter Kit Challenge

Recently, we launched a rather unique challenge to all our wonderful Makeup Geeks and you certainly meet that challenge head on.  The key to this particular challenge was to create a dramatic or simple, but elegant look using only our Makeup Geek Starter Kit and no photo editing.

The purpose of this particular challenge was to see what our talented Makeup Geeks could do with a limited selection of colors, but also to give Starter Kit owners ideas of what they can do with their shadows.   We are more than pleased with the results of this challenge and we wanted to be able to show them off!    You can see all the entries of this Weekly Challenge in this forum thread and here are our favorite creations — enjoy!

Creative/Dramatic Look Winner - Viki

Viki’s look drew our eyes in from the moment we saw it. Using only three shades from the Makeup Geek Starter Kit, Viki was able to create this dramatic and stunning look. Viki placed Purple Rain on the outer and inner portion of her lower lid leaving the middle of the lid exposed and blended Unexpected in the crease of her eye. What really grabbed our attention was how she placed Shimma Shimma on to the middle of her lower eyelid drawing attention to the eyes significantly.

Simple but Glamorous Look Winner - Laura

Laura wowed us with her simple but elegant look! Using 4 of the Makeup Geek eyeshadows, Laura added just the right amount of smoke to achieve an elegant but classic look. She began by placing Purely Naked on the lower part of her eyelid. Then she blended the shade Cocoa Bear into the crease of her eye and feathered the color out. Using Shimma Shimma as a highlight under the brow bone and in the inner corner gave just the right amount of pop to her eyes. To add a touch of extra glamour, Laura added a touch of Corrupt to the over v section of her eye.

Honorable Mention - Silje Beate

Even though we only had two winners, we couldn’t let one other entry slip by without special recongnition.  The first thing you notice, and what we loved was that Silje created both a glamorous look and a simple look for each eye. On the right eye, Silje used Shimma Shimma, Purple Rain, Corrupt and Glamorous to achieve a dramatic look. On the left, she used the colors Shimma Shimma, Purely Naked, Glamorous and Mocha to accomplish a simple but glamorous look.
