I took the Revlon Expression Experiment! Will You?

Revlon is on a mission to inspire women and push them out of their comfort zone. They are doing this by actively engaging them in new expressions by delivering functional tools, education, inspiration and new products that allow women to express themselves in a new way!

I was really excited to hear about Revlon’s new empowering experiment and was happy to take part in it. In the last few makeup posts you may have noticed me starting to break out of my comfort zone but trying new bold colors that I normally would have never tried. Today I have created another look that is more colorful then what I normally would rock. I have to say I really love the way the look came out and am having a lot of fun breaking out of my neutral color shell!

These are the products I was given to work with were:

Revlon eye shadow Quads:

#530 Seductive                                                 I swatched each color twice, the first swatch is with Revlon photo ready primer underneath and second is without primer.

Top Row of swatches are taken in shade and the Bottom Row is taken in direct sunlight

 

#540 Inspired                                                   I swatched each color twice, the first swatch is with Revlon photo ready primer underneath and second is without primer.

Top Row of swatches are taken in shade and the Bottom Row is taken in direct sunlight

 

red lipstick lipstick/Lipglosses

Revlon Colorbust LipGloss in 046 Sizzle Canicule

 

Revlon Lip Butter in 070 Cherry Tart

makeup primer ( Left photo: PhotoReady eye primer + Brightener swatch (on the left) and  Revlon PhotoReady Color Correcting Primer  (right side) Right Photo is swatches rubbed in

nail polish 090 Sorbet

 

Here is the full look I created:

    Great looks. I love the Inspired Quad.

    You should do an eyeshadow tutorial! :)

    Wow, I wish that I could apply make-up like that. The subject kind of helps. I like the gloss of this; Revlon Colorbust LipGloss in 046 Sizzle Canicule. The colour doesn't overpower.

    I'm in a rut wearing the same color palette almost every day. I need to break out of my comfort zone, and take the expression experiment, too! Thanks for sharing!

    Very interesting how the look is dramatically different when taken in the shade vs. the light. I love eye shadow. I just have little patience to put it on most of the time.

    • kSquaredGlamour

      sometimes i dont have the patience for it when i am in a hurry but i love to play around with looks when i have the time

    You look gorgeous! What's even cooler is that you can achieve this look using safe cosmetics too, with none of the toxic risks!

  • tara

    I am so terrible with eye shadow, I can never get it to look that good. WOW!

    • kSquaredGlamour

      it just takes practice :) I use to be horrible with makeup and didnt know what or how to apply anything. YouTube videos taught me how to apply my makeup!

  • selene16

    I have to admit I always stick with the same colours, I keep thinking I should try something new maybe this would be the thing to get me started!

    The colours look lovely on you :) xx

    • kSquaredGlamour

      I use to stick to the same neutral colors but recently started branching out, its a lot of fun coming up with new looks!

    Fierce looks! Wow you look amazing. @robin I had no idea that Revlon makeup was mineral based. It's not such a big brand over here in the UK. You can see some makeup looks on biteable beauty here – http://ow.ly/ccoYU
