Adora Palette Tutorial

For this look I used the Kat Von D Love and Fury palette. Using the black cream, Crucifix, as a base, the black shadow with blue glitter specks, Oddfellow, to set on the lid, and the dark gray color, Glock, in the crease. For under the brow I used a Bare Mineral eyeshadow in 2000 to give it more sparkle. The top eyelash was lined with Too Faced glitter liner in Smurfette. On the inner rim of lower lash I used Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Zero. Mascara was a combo of 2 coats of Sephora Lash Stretcher, and finished with Sephora Plump mascara.

This look was really fast to do and is meant to be more of a dramatic look. I wore this out to the bank and the teller was really mesmerized with it or she was just shocked. Either way, wear it if you dare.

How to:

1. Using your ring finger, lightly apply Crucifix all over top lid and into crease. Blending edges and does not have to be perfect. Not too thick or it will crease. Less is more and adding is better than taking off.
2. Take Oddfellow and pat color onto upper eye lid. Do not blend too much as the glitter will not be as bold.
3. Take Glock and press into the crease of eye. With a blending brush soften edges.
4. Lightly pat 2000 under brow and reapply Glock if needed.
5. Line upper lash line with Smurfette.
6. Line lower lash line and inner rim with Zero and smudge with smudge brush.
7. Apply Oddfellow on top of lower lash liner to set.
8. Finish with LOTS of mascara or even false lashes for more impact.

I'm not going to post brushes anymore as it takes forever to do and I pretty much use the same ones. I have the brushes on my other tutorials posted with links to see what they look like if you have any questions.

I ADORA Kat Von D

I just got my Kat Von D 'Adora' pallete. Or otherwise known as the 'Love and Fury' palette. I know, I'm a little behind on the release, but at least I got to add it to my collection. I pretty much have them all except for the purple one, 'True Love'. I hesitated on that one cause the colors in it looked so much like the others I already have. But....sigh.....I'll end up buying it anyways, cause I'm sure it wants to be with it's family. Plus, it would go so well with the new blog now ;)

As you can see, they all have been very good to me. And some have been in the toddlers hands and broken. These palettes break very easily, so I would suggest putting them somewhere where you know they won't bump into anything. I wouldn't put these palettes in a makeup bag. And for heaven's sake DON'T DROP THEM!!! Black eyeshadow EVERYWHERE!!!!!

Other than that, I love the pigments. The colors blend beautifully together. Very easy to work with. The creams that come with some palettes are something less to be desired. Although I haven't played with my new 'Adora' palette yet, which has 4 creams, they seem to be really flaky or they crease without fail, even if you have an eyeshadow primer on.

The colors in the palette are very unique, I am always getting compliments about the colors on my eye. Especially when I wear 'Hard Luck' in the 'Memento Mori' collection. That's the white palette with blue design. The color is a teal/green with gold sparkle. It has to be my favorite color so far! The names for the colors are to die for. In the new pallete there's "Ace of Spades", which reminds me of the song by Motorhead (Motorhead was one of the duo eyeshadow names). "Slayer" which is another awesome name. "Bloodletting" is pretty rad. Just a few that I like from 1 palette. There are so many. Will get into more detail when I do eye looks with them all.
