Stila In The Light Palette Looks

For my birthday I got a gift certificate to Sephora and I got a couple of palettes, Stila In the Light Palette and Stila In the Garden Palette. I've seen it on Youtube and they both look like nice palettes. Stila in the Light has a shade called Kitten that I hear people talk about a lot. It is a really pretty color. I want to share with you the looks I have found that I liked. The palettes each come with a lookbook that has 6 looks. It also comes with the Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Damsel. It is a basic black liner. If you want to see some really good swatches go to this blog post: http://www.allurabeauty.com/2012/review-swatches-stila-in-the-light-naturaleyes-eye-shadow-palette/.

1. Purrfect Cat Eye by the lookbook that comes with the palette
a. apply bare from lash line to brow bone
b. apply kitten to the lid and blend
c. apply bliss to crease and outer corner of the eye
d. wet brush and apply ebony to lash line, carefully extending the line up past the eye
What I added:
e. Eye Primer: Milani Eyeshadow Primer
f. Mascara: Jordana Best Lash Extreme Volumizing Mascara in Black
g. Under eye moisturizer: Olay Age Defying Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream
h. Primer: Becca Ever-Matte Poreless Priming Perfector
i. Foundation: Boots No.7 Beautifully Matte Foundation in Cool Ivory
j. Concealer: Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Treatment Concealer in Fair
k. Powder: Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Translucent
l. Blush: Physicians Formula Happy Booster Blush in Pink
m. Lip Gloss: NYX Lip Gloss in Beige
My Thoughts: I chose a pink blush and lip gloss because the eyes were warm toned. This is a simple, natural look.

2. Ombre Sultry Eye by the lookbook that comes with the palette
a. apply bare from lash line to brow bone
b. apply sandstone to the lid and blend
c. apply gilded gold to crease and diffuse
d. apply luster to lash line and blend upwards
What I added:
Same as above except for lips I wore Maybelline Baby Lips in Quenched and L'Oreal Colour Riche Anti Feathering Lip Liner in All About Pink.
My Thoughts: The sandstone color is a dark brown, so this felt like a darker look than the first one. I like it.

3. Urban Gypsy by the lookbook that comes with the palette
a. apply bubbly to lid and blend
b. apply gilded gold to crease
c. apply sunset to lash line and blend
d. apply smudge stick waterproof eye liner in damsel to upper lash line and outside corner of bottom lash line
What I added: Same as above except for lips I wore Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Pink Afterglow.
My Thoughts: I really love these eye shadows. They go on really well and I like the colors.

4. Basic Beauty by the lookbook that comes with the palette
a. apply bare from lash line to brow bone
b. apply bliss to lid and crease
c. apply sandstone to lash line and lid, blending upwards
d. apply a thin layer of smudge stick waterproof eye liner in damsel to upper lash line
What I added: Same as above except for lips I wore Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Pinkissimo.
My Thoughts: This is again a natural look. This palette has a lot of natural colors. I don't really like the eye liner it comes with. It is hard for me to apply it.

5. Midnight Dream by the lookbook that comes with the palette
a. apply bare from crease to brow bone
b. wet brush & apply night sky to lid and blend upwards
c. apply smudge stick waterproof eye liner in damsel to lash line, carefully extending the line up a bit past the eye
What I added: Same as above except for blush I wore Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso, and for lips I wore Buxom Lip Gloss in Creamsicle (something else I got for my birthday).
My Thoughts: This is a sparkly dark blue on the eyes. It's a smokey look. I wore peachy coral blush and lips to complement the cool toned eyes. I really like the lip gloss. It plumps up your lips and smells like vanilla.

6. Smoky Luster by the lookbook that comes with the palette
a. apply bliss to crease and blend upwards
b. apply luster to lid and blend into crease
c. apply night sky to lid
d. wet brush and apply ebony to upper and lower lash lines
What I added: Same as above except for blush I wore L'Oreal True Match Super Blendable Blush in W1-2 Bare Honey, and for lips I wore Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Pango Peach.
My Thoughts: This is another dark look for the eyes. So you can do a natural eye look with this palette and a dark smokey eye. I'm surprised I liked all the looks in the lookbook. Next I want to try out some looks I found on Youtube.

These are the products I used for just about every look:

Eye Primer: Milani Eye Shadow Primer
Brown Eye Liner: Rimmel Scandal Eyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal in Brown
