NYX's Avant Pop Palette Swatch!


You may have seen recently on my Instagram and Twitter that I have been teasing a swatch that I recently did of one of my favourite eyeshadow palettes. SO HERE IS THE VIDEO!
There was a little delay as my laptop broke (if I haven't mentioned it enough) so thank you guys so much for waiting and I'm sorry that it has taken so long! This palette is honestly one of my favourite, and, although in my past videos where I have done everyday looks and smokey eye tutorials I have used multiple palettes, my go-to look at the moment has all the shades I use in one.
The tones that can be created with this significant palette (Nouveau Chic) are great for both casual and "dress-up" looks, and can work together so easily, as well as giving you a splash of colour with the purple, blue and green hues that have been added to the lineup of colours.

Here is the video for you guys, I've discussed all my favourite colours and even shown you ones that I have never used before (which was as much an unveiling for myself as it was for you guys!)

If you want to know my go-to colours and how I use them together, here's a quick tutorial!

First, I use the lightest cream colour (1) just to brush over my eyelids and up to my brown bone to create a neutral base before I start my look.
Next, I take the peach colour (2) and place is above my eyelid, but under my brow bone, just in the crease of my eye. I make sure that I place more colour on the outside of my eye rather than inside, to make my eyes look more lifted.
Thirdly, I take the brown that is in the middle of the palette (3) and start brushing it in the outer corners of my eyes, moving slanted from my eyelashes, as you do when you apply eyeliner. I then blend it in to the peach colour so that it causes a natural looking gradient and keep adding more brown powder on the outer edge until I feel it is dark enough. With this colour, I make sure that I cover about 1/4 of my eyelid on the outside of my eye, something I don't do with the peach colour, but just so the next colour can blend naturally in to it where it seems darker.
Last, I apply the gold shimmer to the rest of my eyelid, spraying setting spray on my brush before applying. By doing this, the colour pigmentation is lifted and the gold shows a lot more than it would on it's own. I start from the corner of my eyes and dab it on to my eyelid until I reach the brown colour.
Once this is all done, underneath my eyes I add the peach (2) all along from the other to inner corner of my eye, then the brown (3) about 1/3 of the way from the outer corner working in, creating the same gradient seen on my eyelid.

Touching up, I will switch between all the colours just to blend a little better. Where the brown as peach meet I will use the peach as it blends a lot better in my opinion, and with the gold and brown I use the brown as it is more subtle than the shimmer of the gold.
After I've applied my eyeliner (usually Collection's Lasting Colour Eyeliner) I will go back and add more brown, sometimes the darker brown in the palette, just above the flick to blend it all in, and also add a little of the lighter pink shimmer to the inner corner of my eyes just to brighten them up.
