Oh my goodness. It's here, I have it – The Emily Edit, The Wants palette from EmilyNoel83! Though I'm not a longtime subscriber of Emily's (she's been on YouTube for almost 11 years), her channel quickly became a favorite of mine, next to Jessica Braun's. I was thrilled when Emily announced she would be releasing two palettes with Makeup Revolution – a brand that, in my opinion, has a bunch of great, affordable products. I picked up The Wants palette from my local Ulta on Sunday, and began playing with it when I got home.
I will admit that when I first saw the shades, I was a little intimidated. I'm an everyday neutrals girl, and tend to be color-shy. When I bought the palette, however, I found myself drawn to hues I'd seldom use. My personal favorite, Eve Rose, is a delicate lilac with gold shimmer. Family is a rich matte plum shade which can easily replace black if you're looking for something a little different for definition. Corduroy, a strong forest green, makes a stunning liner shade. The shade pairings you can use are probably endless, and there's something for everyone and every season. These shadows are also buildable, so they'll work perfectly even if you want a sheer wash of color.
The palette measures 9" x 6". Not exactly a travel-friendly size, but you do get a huge mirror inside.
I created a daytime look and an evening look in the photos below. They're super easy and the best part is that there's no need to start over when transitioning from day to night. :)
THE DAYTIME LOOK
1. Prime your lids with your favorite eyeshadow primer, or with dot of concealer on each lid. Blend with a brush or fingertip. (Optional: set the primer/concealer with loose powder).
2. For the lid, use Midwest.
3. In the crease, take a fluffy brush to blend in Dues Paid.
4. Using a contour brush, blend Apartment in the outer corner and halfway across my crease. Blend this shade along the bottom lash line.
5. With your middle fingertip, pat Top Story in the center of the lid, building up to desired intensity.
6. Taking a fluffy angled brush, use Eve Rose in the inner corner, blending towards Top Story and stopping where the edge of your iris begins.
7. Finally, use Oh Heavens! to highlight the brow bone. Curl your lashes and coat top lashes with your favorite mascara (I used the Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara). I also used a light coat of mascara at the center my bottom lashes.
TRANSITIONING TO THE EVENING LOOK
1. Using a fingertip or a flat, dense brush, use Capricorn to pat in the center of your eyelid. Use the same shade to blend along the bottom lash line.
2. For the outer corner, take Dark & Early, blending in a V shape. Blend along upper lash line. Use this shade for the outer lower lash line, stopping where your iris begins.
OPTIONAL: I'm not using falsies in these photos, but you could really amp up these looks with some beautiful, wispy lashes. I really like the Faux Mink line from Ardell.
This is my first tutorial on here, so I hope everything was easy to follow! I'll definitely be creating more looks with this palette, so maybe I'll post some more tutorials if I'm happy with the outcome. :)
