Here is the second look I made using the new Potion Paradise Collection by NABLA Cosmetics! This time I wanted to use as much of the new shades as I could - and I ended up using 5 out of 6. I was about to use the sixth too, but gave up because I thought it was a little too much (plus I didn't know were to place it XD).
Overall it's a pretty autumn-like look, so many warm tones, muted shades - with a touch of periwinkle that brings some spring vibes to the whole look!

I didn't have any particular inspiration for this look, I just wanted to use as much colours I could - which happens all the time honestly, I'm such an eyeshadow-oholic XD I kept the colour scheme pretty basic, with some small twists here and there... After all, attention to details makes all the difference ;D
First of all, no Primer Potion - again. This time I wanted to try Morning Glory as eye primer, so I applied it all over my lids with my fingers. It has some coverage, so it's good to even out the skin and hide small capillaries, imperfections - things like that. On my lids looks pink - no beige. Hallelujah. And feels weightless also!
I waited for it to dry, then I applied Petite Mélodie on my inner corner - this time I used a thick, dense brush and the application was waaay better. After that, I applied Entropy on the first half of the lid - and please appreciate the effort, I was so tempted to skip it XD
On the rest of the lid I applied Utopia, which as you can see looks a little muted on me - more like a soft bronze than a pure copper. On the crease I applied Rea (alone this time, no black base beneath), not blending it with Utopia and so creating a sharp line - especially towards the end. I quickly blended it out by using a stiff pencil brush, then I added an hint of Juno Moon to soften the blending. Narciso is the usual transition shade and Antique White, on the other hand, is the usual brow bone colour.

I did pretty much the same on the lower lid - same colour scheme: Entropy, Utopia, Rea... But I wanted to add a little detail, so I drew a thin line with Rea, basically creating a second eyeliner wing. Then I applied my black eyeliner and, to add definition and clearness to the space between the two wings, I applied Morning Glory again (this time using a small lip brush). Being matte and so light, it's perfect to clean up shapes and highlight negative spaces.
I completed the look by applying false lashes, mascara, a black eyepencil on my waterline and lashine... And by defining my eyebrows (still using NABLA's Brow Pot in Mars!).

So which shade did I leave out? Well, it's Hyperspace! I got very, very close to add it, just for the fun of using all of them... But, as I said at the beginning of the post, I decided not to. I was afraid to overdo, plus the make up already looked nice... Your thoughts?
Personally I liked the look, even though half of the shades used are not my cup of tea. Petite Mélodie really added a lovely touch to the whole make up, while Rea gave that nice depth and definition to the outer corner. I only wish the double wing detail was more noticeable in picture, it was so cool in person! (I'll try a different angle next time, I promise!)
