I had quite a number of readers ask me to use the new Eyes to Kill Silk shadows from my previous post in a look. This one’s for you, baby! 
In this look I am using all 4 of the new shades, though I previously featured only three of them. The fourth one I received today. I didn’t purchase it but it was generously provided by Neiman Marcus as a good will gesture for the mix up with my order earlier this week; they totally rock (massive thank you to Kathy Shoreman)! Anyway, here is what the 4th and final shade looks like:
This is #21 Obsidian Grey. I initially thought it was going to be too similar to the #4 shade in Pulp Fiction that I already owned, but when I looked at them side by side I knew there would be some differences:
#4, #21- You can already see that #4 is warmer and less blue toned. That translates on the skin as well.
Swatches L-R: #21 Obsidian Grey, #4 Pulp Fiction (in sunlight)
They are both greys, but in tone they are different. This is particularly important if you don’t already own #4. If you prefer cooler, more slate greys you should choose #21. If you are like me and prefer your grey a bit warmer go with #4. Now, if you already have #4 I can’t say you really have a need for #21. Go for one of the colors I shared in my previous post because none of them have anything remotely similar in the permanent range.
I thought I would show you the effect Madre Perla has on it’s own on my eyes. The green really comes out this way. As a base it really has the ability to shift and add dimension to anything you put over it. I did use it as an base all over the lid in the look below.
Madre Perla all over lid and inner corner, Ecailles over outer 1/2 of lid, brought up to the crease, Obsidian Grey blended into outer corner and crease, Obsidian black in outer V and as liner on upper and lover lash lines.
Wondering what else I’m wearing?
Face: Laura Mercier Oil-free TM in Nude, Burberry Fresh Glow Fluid, Tarte Maracuja Concealer in light, Giorgio Armani Bronze Mania Sheer Bronzer #1, Giorgio Armani Sheer Blush #3, MAC Set Powder
Eyes: (described above) with MAC Moleskin and MAC Blanc Type to blend, Lancome Hypnose Drama mascara
Lips: A bit of a mixture- I was initially wearing Giorgio Armani Gloss d’Armani in Pink 512* which stained my lips a slightly berry color. Then I changed my mind and went for Dior Addict Extreme in Saint Tropez. So it isn’t an accurate representation of either color, oops!
I hope this helped! More Giorgio Armani summer 2012 to come in the next few days, so be on the look out!

They look very pretty on you. I really want Obsidian Black.

Ahhh gorgeous!! What a beautiful mermaid effect
Yes! mermaids for summer is always a plus!
Stunning! All of the colours really complement one another very well. I loves.
Me too! I agree, they definitely made them all with a similar tone and feel.
Oh my dear lordie in heaven! These are GORGEOUS and so are you, pumpkin!
Thank YOU!!!!
They’re gorgeous and so are you, dear! So perfect for that mermaid look.
Agree- I definitely feel Mermaid vibes from the whole GA summer collection!
Beautiful!
Thank you dear!
Ohhh Pulp Fiction is so beautiful. Now I want to watch the movie!
lol!!! It is beautiful but is it weird that the movie really freaks me out? I think I saw it at too young of an age and CANNOT bear to watch it again.
Ever since the first promo pictures started circulating along the web, I have been basically drooling for this collection, lol! I want all for of these Eyes To Kill (I seem to have grown an addiction to these!) and the limited edition eyeshadow palette would make a lovely companion to the LE Madre Perla Highlighter I have from the Holiday collection! You make each of these shades look totally killer! Thanks so much for this – sadly, the collection still hasn’t released here, but I’m hoping any day now!
Ahh, I hope it releases soon! I admit- I am addicted to these as well!
These are gorgeous!
Aren’t they?! So, so pretty and lovely on the eyes!
