Illamasqua Fundamental Palette- Three Different Looks

As promised, here is my in depth review of the Illamasqua Fundamental Palette. I try not to do what a lot of other blogs do, which is swatch products on my hand/arm. I know as a blog reader, the thing that I want to see the most, and find most useful is actually seeing the product in action. Therefore, I am going to show you three eye looks I created with tbe Fundamental palette, so you can see just how the four shadows inside work together:-

As a reminder, here is the palette again:-

From l-r clockwise: Powder Shadow in Hype, Liquid Metal in Surge,

Powder Shadow in Inception, Cream Pigment in Bedaub.

So, I was playing around with the palette and I knew straightaway I wanted to recreate something akin to the look Illamasqua created here:-

I absolutely LOVE this look, it's by far my favourite look of the Human Fundamentalism story, and probably the easiest to wear at daytime. Here is my interpretation of it:-

I started by building up Inception powder eyeshadow up and above my cocket crease, building iu up even higher into a flick at the outer corner of my eye. I then used Surge metal pigment to trace a line on top of where I had blended Inception. I took this line up to the outer tip of my eyebrowand then back down to the outer corner of my eyesocket and lined all the way underneath my lower lashes. I then took Bedaub cream pigment and built this up above where I'd lined Inception with Surge, thus 'sandwiching' the Surge line. I took Bedaub right out towards the outer corner of my eye, near to the tip of my brow. Finally, I connecting all the lines, by using Surge to highlight under my brow arch. I connecting this line to the other Surge line at the inner corner of my eye. I topped this look off with a set of Eyelure Girls Aloud eyelashes (the Nadine ones) I hope this long description makes sense!

I then created this colour clashing look:-

So here I used Surge liquid metal to line underneath my lower lashes. I then used Hype in the inner corner of my eye, blending upwards above my socket crease. I then blended Inception in the outer corner of my eye and then blended upwards and over Hype. I then continued my line of Surge to just flick up the outer corner of my eye next to Inception. I used some No 7 false eyelashes (Intense Volume) here, and I think they look pretty good, by complimenting but not overpowering the look.

And finally, I wanted to show everyone just how versatile the Fundamental palette is by creating an easy to do daytime look. As part of their Human Fundamentalism collection, Illamasqua have created a beautiful neutrals palette, but I created the look below using the Urban Decay Naked Palette:-

Here I used Virgin from the Naked palette to highlight my brow arch. I then blended Hype in the inner corner of my eye blending outwards and up over my socket crease. I then blended Naked powder in the centre of my eyelid, which I then went back and blended more Hype into, so there was no obvious line where the two eyeshadows met. Finally, I took Buck from the Naked palette and winged this up from the outer corner of my eye, and blended above Naked to give a smoked out effect. I finished the look off with Zero eyeliner and another set of No 7 false eyelashes (Natural Volume)

So there you go, those are the three looks I'm currently experimenting with using the Fundamental palette. Hopefully I have shown you just how versatile this product is! Have you tried anything from the Human Fundamentalism range? If so, let me know what, and how have you used it?!?
