Whenever I buy mineral eyeshadows, I usually get neutral colors. I’m not too confident with eyeshadow application and neutral colors are a lot more foolproof than its bright colored counterparts. My neutral mineral eyeshadows definitely outnumber any other shade of eyeshadow that I have in my makeup stash.

Weeks ago, I read an entry from this blog about storing mineral makeup sample baggies in trading card or business card holders. I bought a business card holder back then, but never got around to actually organizing my samples. So I started taking out my samples, and my sister suggested storing them by color.

While I was organizing my samples, I had this sudden idea to play with my samples. My first EOTD was using peachy-gold colors that mimic the sunset. That didn’t go so well because when I asked my sister what she thought, she said that she couldn’t see the eyeshadows because it blended too well with my medium golden yellow skintone.

Given my warm toned skin, I decided to try cool colored eyeshadows so it would be more noticeable. For my second EOTD attempt, I used silvers and blues. That didn’t turn out so well, because the end result didn’t look so good. I looked like I had 2 black eyes, except that it was dark blue with silver shimmer. Scrap that EOTD.

I didn’t want to give up, so I did one last EOTD before I continue organizing the rest of my samples. For the third and last EOTD for the day, I decided on silvers and grays. I decided to foil my base eyeshadow so the color would pop, something I didn’t do in my previous EOTDs.

Here’s the final result:

Monave Foundation in Cecilia + Saturnina

Valerie Pin Up Blush in Coy

Valerie Multi in $400 Shoes (foiled) on lid

My sister said it looks nice. For her to compliment on my makeup, that’s a good thing! Hahaha. Who would’ve I thought I’d be doing an EOTD while storing eyeshadow samples? Now I’m more comfortable using non-neutral eyeshadows because of this EOTD.
