Make-Up Forever Flash Palette DUPE Tutorial & Review | Color Block Make-Up

Make-Up Forever Flash Palette DUPE Tutorial | Color Block Make-Up

An entire make-up application done by mixing the colors from the MUFE flash palette dupe. It is called the 'IMagic Fashion 12 in 1 Flash Color Cosmetic Case Make-Up palette for eyes and cheeks' and cost me just £7.15 (has since increased) from eBay - a huge 90% less than the MUFE original which can cost anywhere between £70 and £95. This is such a great palette for nights out and events where you want extra heavy coverage in your foundation. it is also ideal for make-up artists, theatre actors, drag queens and also for those who travel alot and don't mind mixing their colors to get what they need. They are highly pigmented greasepaints which are easy to blend in order to customize your own colors. They gave great coverage but because of the texture I would suggest setting the make-up with a either translucent or similar colored powder if you decide to wear this as an everyday make-up as the product has a tendency to transfer especially on the eyelids. I have spoken so much about this palette that I thought I would show you how to do an entire face of make-up using just this palette.  This was such a fun video to do. Hope you enjoy. 

The colors in this palette are:

• Gold (shimmer)
• Coral
• Turquoise
• Fuchsia
• Yellow
• Brown
• Silver (shimmer)
• White
• Red
• Bright Blue
• Leaf Green
• Black

For this make-up I mixed some of these colors together using a stainless steel mixing tray and spatula that I bought from eBay for just £2.73. 

Face:

• Foundation - I mixed White, Brown, Coral (although I kept calling it peach in the video) and Leaf Green) to create a flesh tone. 
• Concealer - Same colors as the foundation with an extra bit of White. 
• Highlight - Same as the foundation but with alot more white. I then mixed Gold and White for the added shimmer on the tops of the cheeks.
• Contour - Same colors as the foundation but with extra Brown. 
• Blusher - I mixed Coral, Red and Pink for a nice spring/summer blush color. 

Eyes:

• Eyebrows - I mixed a small bit of Brown with Black and White to make a taupe shade. 
• Eyelid Base - I used the leftover foundation as my eye base.
• Eyeliner - I mixed Pink and Bright Blue to create a vibrant indigo/violet shade. I then set this with a similar colored eyeshadow which was Saturn's Ring from the Celestial palette by Sleek.
• Lower Lash Line & Bottom Waterline - I mixed Yellow and Leaf Green to make a lime green/chartreuse shade and set it with Thrash from the Electric palette from Urban Decay.
• Inner Corners - A mixture of White and Gold. 
• Mascara - I used two mascaras which were Make-Up Revolution's The Viper and Maybelline Big Eyes. 

Lips:

• Main Color - Same as blusher color with an extra bit of Coral. 
• Centre Highlight - Same my initial highlight shade before using the Gold.

Kiko Rock Attraction Bronzer

Kiko Makeup Milano (often cited simply as Kiko) are an Italian cosmetics brand I have been admiring for some time now. They have the most stunning visuals on their website; full of images that make you instantly crave the products that the beautiful models are wearing. Their SS14 Boulevard Rock limited edition range of bronzers and blushers are so incredibly stunning that I could not help but finally cave and buy my first Kiko product - the Rock Attraction bronzer. 

Kiko Rock Attraction Bronzer.

Such amazing detail.

Inspired by the London music scene, the outer packaging and sturdy casing is reminiscent of grunge-glamour denims under fluorescent lights. The product itself is a gorgeously detailed zip embossed bronzer which feels like velvet when swatched. It's luxurious and professional appearance does not match the slightly higher than high-street pricetag. This bronzer is available in two shades - 01 Steady Honey and 02 Loud Tan. 

The zip embossment is the detail that draws you in to want to know more. 

I chose the lightest of the two, Steady Honey, a sheer, blendable product which can be used to bronze up the skin as well as a light contour. It is the perfect shade for spring, just before the summer tans start to emerge again as it gives such a radiant, yet subtle glow to the cheeks. This is the perfect bronzer for brides with a pale skin tone who want to look fresh and discreetly dewy on their big day. 

As well as the Kiko Rock Attraction 'Steady Honey' bronzer, I am also wearing Illamasqua 'Rude' cream blush and MUA 'Shimmer Highlighter' from the Undress Your Skin range. 

Kiko Rock Attraction bronzer retails for £15.90 on their website, but for that price you get 12g of product and a mirror within the compact. Personally, I bought mine from eBay and was able to talk the seller down to £8 so shop around to see if you can get a better deal. Even for £15.90, it is worth it to own something which not only gives such an alluring glistening glow, but also provides a historical reflection on the neo-grunge meets beach beauty appeal of this generation. 

Available via Kiko online and  at Westfield.
