This is a turquoise lovers dream. With a golden base, Star Powder 956 by +MAKE UP FOR EVER OFFICIAL is a shimmering, silky powder that catches the light and gives the skin a unique glow. I wear these as eyeshadow, using Aqua Seal to intensify the shade and the shimmer as it locks the pigments water tight.

Dany's Tip: "You can shade it off easily with an eye shadow or powder brush. Use a damp brush to increase shine and hold. You can also dab a small amount on the areas of the face that need highlighting: around the eyes, on the cheekbones, and over lipstick."

You need such a small amount of powder, you'll think you're not using enough but you are and too much is an absolute waste. I shake a wee bit in to the cap and then add 1 drop of Aqua Seal and spatula #224 to blend and apply to my lids. If it is too thin add a wee bit more. This spatula is thin, so I can use the side to add wet pigments as eyeliner, too. I love this spatula!!

You need to build the pigment while it is still wet. If you wait and try to add more, it can streak the pigments underneath creating a splotchy finish. I'm wearing Caylin Shimmer Powder in Sienna all over the lid with +Stila UK Kitten on my brow bone and 2 coats of Physician's Formula mascara. Do you own any Star Powders? Which shades are in your collection or on your list? xoxo •Nancy-Lee
