Holiday party FOTD with SUQQU Blend Colour Eyeshadow in EX-04 Toukaede 唐枫 and Chanel Teint Innocence cream compact

The coveted SUQQU Blend Colour Eyeshadow in EX-04 Toukaede was Jamilla‘s Christmas present to me, as well as her personal favourite palette. Seeing as in my mind, she is the queen of makeup, whatever she loves must be crazy good. This palette did not disappoint one bit! It was my first time ever trying SUQQU colour cosmetics and I must say these palettes are one of the best eyeshadows I have ever tried! The texture is amazingly silky and smooth, it applies perfectly and blends seamlessly. The matte white shade in this palette is THE best matte shade I have used. I usually steer away from matte shades but SUQQU does it really well. Pigmentation is bold and beautiful as well in the dark plummy burgundy shade. The peach shimmer shade is subtler and not as pigmented but the shimmer is extremely smooth. The cream shimmer shade is more glittery, but it adheres very well with no fallout and it doesn’t look overdone at all.

If you don’t know anything about SUQQU, it is very much a cosmetics brand for the mature, professional,working woman, which is why the pigmentation is not “in your face,” rather it works beautifully for the office setting. I feel that the Toukaede palette reflects that brand image perfectly I can easily create a soft office look using any combination of these shades.

I did a quick look with this palette for my firm’s holiday party. I used the matte white as an all-over base for the rest of the eyeshadow, over UDPP. I used the shimmery cream shade in the inner corner of my eyes, as well as about 1/3 of the way into my eyelid. I used the peach shade on the outer 2/3 of my eyelid, overlapping a little bit with the shimmery cream. I used the plummy burgundy shade to line the outer 1/2 of my bottom lash line, as well as my entire upper lash line. I then took the shimmer peach again, and drew over the plummy burgundy. I lined my upper lash with a thin line of Dollywink Liquid Liner and used Clinique High Impact Mascara on my lashes.

On my cheeks, I used Chanel Joues Constraste in Rose Petale and highlighted using the Jill Stuart Puffy Marshmallow palette. On my lips, I am using Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in 54 Boy.

My base makeup for the day was the Chanel Teint Innocence cream compact. As the party was going to held on Grouse Mountain at a higher altitude, I wanted to make sure my makeup stayed fresh even in the colder, drier climate. The Teint Innocence compact provided just enough moisture, coverage and staying power for all the eating, laughing and dancing.
