Shimmery Peach and Browns Using Mineral Eyeshadow and Pop Beauty Brown Eyes Palette

Some Valerie Beauty mineral shadows
Here is a shimmery peachy-brown look using my Pop Beauty Brown Eyes Palette, and a beautiful shimmery peachy eyeshadow called Miranda from one of my all-time favorite mineral makeup companies. Unfortunately, though, it is no longer around - I'm talking about Valerie Beauty Minerals. Val's eyeshadows have some of the most fantastic mineral shadow finishes I've tried. They are similar in finish to my MAC pigments - and there is not one dud in my collection. They are not just mica bombs that emit sparkle but no pigment. These babies are really pigmented and really some of the best mineral shadows I've tried. As a tribute to one of my favorite mineral makeup companies, I will be coming up with more looks using Val's products in the coming posts.
Above are some of the beautiful mineral shadows I have from Val. I don't have an actual picture of Miranda, but gauging from the photos, one could see how pretty and high-quality the products are.
I also used my Cory mineral blush sample in Racy for this look.
Here is a step by step illustration.
Apply Urban Decay primer potion on lid, browbone and under the lower lashline. Apply Valerie Beauty mineral shadow in Miranda wet using MAC Charged Water using the Loew Cornell Maxine's Mop 3/8" brush.
Apply the 7th shadow from the left of the Pop Beauty Brown Eyes palette on the crease using the Sonia Kashuk blender brush.
Using the MAC 226 brush, apply 4th shadow from the left of the Brown Eyes palette on the crease.
Blend the colors using the Sonia Kashuk blender brush.
Using Sonia Kashuk bent eyeliner brush, wetline Aromaleigh Drama Queen mineral liner in Red using MAC Charged Water.
Apply Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Zero on waterline and tightline. Apply Miranda on inner lower lashline. Apply mascara.
