REVIEW - Absolute New York Icon Palette

We're back again with another MBG x Absolute NY Makeup Competition !

This time, the theme's Iconic Look, which shows our own characteristics through our makeup.

Did the makeup looks with all Absolute NY Products, at their counter in SOGO Sun Plaza.

And here you go

 As you can see, I tend to go for long looking eyes with straight liners >.<

I always apply my shadow darker above the crease, and apply some light shimmery shadow on the center of the lid. Well all that to enhance my half-monolid eyes T-T

I also put some shimmery shadow on the inner corner to brighten it up.

And as you guess, didn't win the competition as well this time lol

But I did received a goodie bag from Absolute NY after I've finished doing my makeup :

 Inside the goodie bag, there are Icon Palette, Modest Matte Liquid Lipstick, and Concealer Pencil.

1. Icon Palette - Exposed

 Consist of 2 Mattes and 10 Shimmers

Packaging : made from tin metal (?) , include mirror and dual ended brush

Pigmentation : Mostly very good, but some lighter color tend to shows up less.

Texture : quite smooth, but have some fallouts

Price : Rp. 255.000

This palette is suitable for both neutral or smoky looks, recommended for beginner to use, espcially because they included a dual ended brush that's very useful.

Rate : 4.5 out of 5

2. Modest Matte Liquid Lipstick

Much darker in real life, picture is taken right in front of my window

Shade : MML04 Whisper

Pigmentation : Good

Texture : Thick creamy, easy to apply

Transfer a bit, easy to remove

Price : Rp. 155.000

Honestly don't really like this colour, because it's mauve kind of shade and looks very dark on me in real life... so yeah, would probably love it better with pinkish nude shade :(

Rate 4 out of 5

3. All Purpose Pencil - Concealer

Doesn't came in a box

Texture : very smooth, super love !

Price : Rp. 75.000

this works really well for the eyebrows ! haven't tried it on my lashline, but I think it'll work too :)

Rate : 5 out of 5

Love,

REVIEW - Absolute New York Starry Eyed

So Medan Beauty Gram and Absolute New York held a makeup competition on 08 Feb-23 Feb.

We were given the theme Valentine / Chinese New Year makeup look, and we used all of Absolute NY makeup products at their counter in SOGO Sun Plaza.

I decided to go with Chinese New Year look, since Valentine has passed.

I lengthen my eyes with straight long liner, almost straight brows to give the innocent look, red lips as a symbol of CNY celebration, and some glitter in the inner corner & crease to add more festive look.

On 4th of March we gathered again at Absolute NY Counter in SOGO because they will announce 3 winners.

I didn't win the competition though, but I'm glad that I participated because I earned another experience :p

Besides of the winner announcement, Absolute NY introduced their newest product, which is Starry Eyed metallic liner.

Starry eyed consists of 5 metallics and 1 matte.

I used Solar on my crease & lunar on the inner corner [ as seen on my selfie above ]

My most favorite of all is the shade Lunar, because it is the perfecttttt shade for the inner corner T.T

Unluckily when I chose it, they're running out of stock, and so I went with Solar. I also received a dual ended lippie call Perfect Pair - Duo Parfait.

Swatches. excuse my messy drawing though

1. Starry Eyed metallic liner

Shade : Solar
Pigmentation : Very Good

Applicator : Stiff brush, makes it a bit hard to apply

Texture : Liquid, but not too watery, dry fast, and doesn't smudge

Price : Rp. 135.000

I absolutely love this liner, but would be happier if I had the Lunar one, it's amazing !

Rate : 5 out of 5

2. Perfect Pair - Duo Parfait

Shade : ALD01 Sugar & Spice
Pigmentation : Very Good

Texture : A bit dry, doesn't glide very smoothly on the lips

Price : Rp. 155.000

This lippie is dual ended, it has a lip liner on one side, and lipstick on the other side.

Honestly the color doesn't really blend very well together as a lip liner, since it is way darker than the lipstick itself. But they're great for Korean ombre lips.

Rate : 3.5 out of 5
