Update on my Rouge Bunny Rouge Application!

Hi all,

Regular readers will know that whilst loving my Rouge Bunny Rouge shadows I was struggling to get them onto my eyelid whilst keeping the true colours.

I had lots of tips from people, including someone at Rouge Bunny Rouge who read my post and so this is just a little post to tell you all that I've been practicising and I think I've finally cracked it thankfully!

So here's Mountain Bluebird (which I just couldn't get to apply as anything more than a sheer wash!) and a smidge of Unforgettable Oriole.
 That's much more like it! Basically I fixed the problem with time! A good layer of primer potion and then lots of care, attention and time! I built up lots of layers basically. Only using two colours so that blending is kept to a minimum. Then gently blending out the edges before applying another layer of colour and so on until the depth of colour I require is built up!

I've also tried this with more colours I was struggling with and I think this will work. I'm just not used to having to work so hard with products! I guess I'm just more of a slap it on kind of a girl, but now when I have a little more time I'll be confidantly able to reach for my beautiful Rouge Bunny Rouge shadows!

So thanks to everyone who tried to help me out with tips. I think I took a bit of everyone's advice!

  1. Surely you shouldn't have to apply multiple layers though. Are these products for make-up artists or something?

    I want strong pigmentation - whatever the product. Nothing worse than something that looks good superficially but applies as a feeble wash-out of a thing...

  2. I think the colour does look rather gorgeous on you and sometimes one has to persevere to make it work. Looks particularly good with your darker hair. Thanks for this. Jan x

  3. Yay, that looks beautiful! I'm so sorry it's been a struggle to make them work the way you want them to. I think there definitely seems to be variability in the pigmentation.

    @jaljen, I don't think they're for make up artists only and the majority of the Rouge Bunny Rouge eyeshadows that I own are super-pigmented. However, there are a couple that seem to require more work.

  4. I hate when that happens. :( Thankfully never been interested in these.

    I do love blue with golds though.
