ELES Cosmetics '60s Vibe Beauty Trend for Eyes - Spring 2013

I love the '60s-esque beauty look for dramatically lined and sexy feline eyes! As part of their '60s Vibe spring beauty trend for eyes, Aussie beauty brand ELES Cosmetics recently introduced the new ELES Signature Shadow Quad in Debutante and ELES Dimensional Cake Liner in Plum Crazy. That's right ladies, this spring beauty trend is all about smoky, bold and pretty purple hues! This look would be perfect for the coming Spring Racing festivities!

ELES Cosmetics Signature Shadow Quad in Debutante

The luxuriously silky pearlescent eye shadow colours in the ELES Signature Shadow Quad are all you need to create a beautiful and bold smoky eye look! The eye colour palette in Debutante is the latest of the range of eye-catching ELES Signature Shadow Quads. Debutante includes a pale pink, dusky purple, rich plum/violet and a satin taupe. These shades are not too shimmery and lean more towards a soft pearlescent and satin finish. The pale pink shade can be applied all over the eye lid and/or as a highlighter under the brow bone or on the inner corner of the eyes. The dusky purple shade can be used along the crease or simply on the lid. The rich plum/violet is the darkest shade that is used to line the eyes and to create a 'v' on the outer lower lash-line. The satin taupe is used to contrast and juxtapose the dusky purple and rich plum/violet to create a soft smoky eye effect.

The micro-mineral eye shadow powders are beautiful and innovative, being infused with Vitamins A, C and E to condition and protect the delicate eye area. These eye shadows are also hypoallergenic, oil-free, dye-free, talc-free and fragrance-free. ELES micro-mineral eye shadows are pigmented, finely-milled and can be applied on wet for a dramatic and intense night time look or dry for a subtle and soft day time look. I love how easy it is to simply swipe my eye brush in the palette and apply a smooth thin veil of colour to my eye lids. There was very minimal fall-out when applied using a dry brush and the fantastic thing about this palette is the mesmerising purple hues which compliment one another very well. The shadows stay put very well when a eye primer was used and also when applied wet. 

ELES Cosmetics Dimensional Cake Liner in Plum Crazy

The dual colour ELES Dimensional Cake Liner includes a matte and shimmery shade to accomplish definition and drama for big and bold eyes! The shade Plum Crazy includes a matte violet for definition and a royal purple with minuscule pink and silver shimmers add a dramatic twist! To achieve this bold purple eye look, it is best to use a wet liner brush to apply a the matte shade for a creamy effect. Gently press the brush in soft dabbing motions along the upper eyelash line, begin tapering to a thick line and at the outer corner of the eye, create a sexy cat flick. Now on to the shimmery shade, using the same brush (without re-wetting the brush), gently press over the matte shade to add some sparkle and enhance the eyes. The texture of the matte shade was incredibly soft and creamy which instantly adds definition to the eyes, whereas the shimmery shade adds the most subtle, yet gorgeous sparkles to dramatise the eyes. The shimmers are tiny, though you could still build-up the level of shimmer by re-applying.
