EOTD - 17 Funfair: Pretty In Pink!

As I said, I'm hoping to introduce a few more general beauty-based posts into the mix, one a week or so, as that was my intention when I first started this blog in February! Here is what I've been playing with recently, a sweet, everyday look using 17 Funfair (available at Boots), a pastel pink shadow flecked with gold microglitter. It's really pretty, and I paired it with 17 Gold Digger in the corners:


sunlight - eyelids are weird when you're that close to them! I look like an old woman! Damn you Macro setting!


 

Foundation: Collection 2000 Lasting Finish
Blusher: Benefit Coralista
Under-eye concealer: Benefit Erase Paste
Lid eyeshadow: 17 Funfair
Corner of eye eyeshadow: 17 Gold digger, lightly tapped on with finger
Liquid Liner: Topshop Felt Pen Liner in Jet
Lips: Rose Tinted Vaseline

I really like this eyeshadow - 17's eyeshadows in general are great, they're really pigmented, affordable and all your favourites come in Trios, with two other complimentary shades that would create dramatic looks. As I wear this look during the day, and it is a softer look, I didn't add a third (darker) shade to the crease of the lid, or any eyeliner to the water line as it would have made it too harsh, in my opinion. The slick of Liquid Liner is enough drama for this 'pretty in pink' look! :D

So there it is, the shadow I'm wearing practically every day at the moment! Let me know what you think everyone, have any of you UK ladies a favourite 17 eyeshadow? Any questions, let me know! :D

    This is such a pretty pink! It looks great on. I don't think I can pull off any pink.

    You have amazing lashes by the way. :)

    So pretty! I think it's hard to wear pink, but I think it looks especially lovely because of the gold :) xxx
