Jane Iredale Smoky Eyes Kit

Jane Iredale Smoky Eyes Kit

I’m sure you have a favourite gift that you received during the holidays. One of my favourite gifts (well, it was in fact a product I won in a Facebook contest) is Jane Iredale Smoky Eyes Kit in the blink of a smoky eye, which retails for $67.

You may already be familiar with Jane Iredale Mineral Makeup. Jane Iredale developed her eponymous line after working in the entertainment industry and seeing the bad effects of the makeup worn by actresses. She was determined to develop makeup products that were good for the skin and easy to apply.

in the blink of a smoky eye Smoky Eyes Kit features browns, golds, bronzes, green and purple eyeshadow shades to create a smoky eye look. I love how easily these eyeshadows apply to the eyelid: they do not go on too dark or too light. I also like that the kit includes directions to create several different smoky eye looks:

Eyeshadows that are included in the blink of a smoky eye Smoky Eyes Kit include matte and shimmery shades such as:

1. Bone (matte creamy nude)
2. Pure Gold (shimmery bright gold)
3. Dawn (shimmery rose brown). I would actually call this a shimmery taupe.
4. Rose Gold (shimmery rose gold)
5. Iris (matte cool violet)
6. Forest (matte deep green)
7. Double Espresso (matte dark brown)
8. Ebony (matte black).

My favourite combination is Deep Smoke, which features the creamy nude Bone on the inner third of the lid and along the brow bone, Iris at the outer two-thirds of the lid and in the crease and the shimmery taupe Dawn under the upper and lower lashes.

You can purchase Jane Iredale mineral makeup online or at Toronto beauty products stores including Pure and Simple.
