Swatches: Avon True Color Eyeshadow Duos
Burgundy Berry is a nice shimmery muted plum duo. The lighter shade is Nude, this color is hard to describe- sort of a shimmery pale mauve beige. The pigmentation and blending of this shade is excellent. The darker shade is Silver Plum and is perfectly named because it is a gorgeous shimmering silvery plum color. Again great pigmentation and blends nicely. I love this duo on my hazel eyes, it really brings out the green!

FOTD: Bronze and Plum Smokey Eye + Orange Lip
ON THE EYES: I used Avon Extra Lasting eyeshadow pencil in Topaz Shimmer as a base from the lash line to the crease, and along the lower lash line. Then I used the darker shade from the True Color shadow duo in Warm Cashmere over the same area. I used the lighter color from the duo on my brow bones and inner corner of the eyes. Next I used color #3 from the True Color quad in Chocolate Sensation and smudged it into the outer corners of the upper and lower lash lines. Then I took the True Color single in Plum Burgundy and blended that into the outer corner and up into the crease. I lined the outer corner of both upper and lower lash lines with Super Shock gel liner, and used kohl liner in Deep Violet on my water line. I finished with a coat of Mega Effects mascara in Black.
ON THE CHEEKS: I used mark. Bronze Pro in Bronze, with just a little Fiji Paradise all over face powder in Tropical Sunrise.
ON THE LIPS: I used Ultra Color lipstick in Tangerine Tango.
