Sleek Series: 5 Looks With The Sleek Acid Palette

Hi!
 
I was looking through my Sleek palettes the other day and decided that I needed to remember to get more use out of them!
I thought I'd do a little series of posts where I do 5 different looks with each of the palettes.
I shuffled them and the first one I picked up was coincidentally the newest addition to my Sleek eye shadow palettes, the Acid palette. This is such a fun palette to experiment with!
 
 
 
 
Here are the 3 looks!
 
 
Look 1:


 
 
 
 
 

 
This is probably my favourite...I love the mix of bright colours and the black to add smokiness in the outer corner.
 
Colours used:
 
Matte Black (crease)
Neon Pink (Middle third)
Neon yellow (Inner third)
Shimmery Lighter Blue (inner half of bottom lashline)
Matte White (highlight)
Shimmer Darker Blue  (outer half of bottom Lashline)
 
I then finished with black eyeliner and mascara.
 
Look 2:
 
 
 

 

 
I decided to go for more blues/greens in this look.
 
Colours used:
 
Neon Green (inner third)
Shimmery Silver (outer third)
Shimmery dark blue (crease)
Matte White (highlight)
 
Again, black liner and mascara were then added!
 
Look 3:
 
 
 

 

 
This was quite a bright look that isn't too wearble but fun to try out :)
 
Colours Used:
 
Neon Orange (Inner third)
Shimmery Blue (Crease)
Neon Green (waterline over NYX eyeshadow base)
Matte Black (lower lashline)
 
I then added mascara.
 
Look 4:
 
 
 
 
 
This look is very...pink. :)
 
Colours Used:
 
Neon Pink (inner half)
Deeper Pink (outer half)
Black (crease)
Matte White (highlight)
+ Black liner.
 
This is really bright which is so easy to do when you have a palette that is as bold and bright as this is! :)
 
Look 5:
 
 
 
 

 This look to me just screams "acid". This bright green actually looks really cool and I actually really like this look!
 
Colours Used:
 
Neon Green (Inner half)
Moss Green (Outer half)
Black (Crease)
Neon Yellow (Inner corner near tearduct)
White (highlight)
Neon Green (used over NYX eyeshadow base on the waterline)
Shimmery blue (smudged on bottom + top lashines)
 
Bonus:
 
I decided to include this as a "bonus" as its very close to the first look...however I substituted the black for the matte dark pink and discovered that you can actually make it look surprisingly different...this is pretty much the same as the first look but even brighter.
 
 
 
 
Colours used:
 
Matte Dark Pink (crease)
Neon Pink (middle third)
Neon Orange (blending middle third and inner third)
Neon Yellow (Inner third)
Shimmery Light Blue (bottom lashline)
Matte Black (Top lashline)
 
 
So there you go!
These types of posts do take a little while to put together but they're very fun to do and it means that I can get the most out of the shadows that I have..
Eventaully I will get one of these posts done for each of the 6 palettes that I have from Sleek so keep a look out if you're interested! :)
 
Thanks so much for reading!
