Fyrinnae Shadow Swatches

As promised, here are the rest of the swatches for my new Fyrinnae eye shadows. 
Eternal Innocence
Dark shimmery green. I've been looking for a good dark green for a while, and I think I want something just a little brighter than this. So, I'd love to hear any suggestions, whether from Fyrinnae or any mineral makeup company.

Kamikaze
Bright red with red sparkle. On me, anyway, this seems to have slight orange tones.

Meerkat
This is one of the shadows I bought mostly for the name. I think meerkats are one of the cutest animals around. Maybe not the best way to choose eye shadows, but I wasn't at all disappointed with this one. Pink-purple with tons of gold sparkle.

Orangutan
Coppery-peach with an almost metallic look to it. I actually didn't think I would really like this one as much as I do. It's another one I bought for the name. Orangutans are my absolute favourite animals in the whole world. How can you not love a baby this cute?
Hesty the Orangutan (Denver Zoo)
And last but not least,
Tapir
Rich purple-based burgundy. This looked more of a wine red in the jar, but the purple tones came out against my skin. Nearly matte, with only a slight shimmer.

EOTD: Luxe

Here's another eye look using just elf products. I wasn't going to buy the luxe quad because it looked too neutral but my sister bought it and I fell in love with the red. So I ordered it and I'm so glad I did. Even if I only use that one colour, it's completely worth it.


Products Used:
studio eye primer & liner sealer
brightening eye color in luxe
brightening eye colour in drama
studio mineral infused mascara
brightening eye liner in black



Prime your eyelid up to the brow bone, then apply the lightest colour in the luxe quad from lash line to brow bone. Then apply the red shade on your lid and blend into the crease. Smudge the same red under your lower lashes and in inner corner. Blend the black shade in the drama quad into your crease and use it to line your lower lash line. Use the white shade as a highlight and to blend out the black. To finish up, just use the black eyeliner on your waterline, curl your lashes, and apply two coats of mascara.
