FFF: Theodora vs Glinda

Friday 8 March 2013

In light of the new Oz The Great and Powerful movie being released today, I thought I'd do a double makeup look post - Theodora vs Glinda palettes. They're just simple easy looks using only the eyeshadows from the palettes, nothing fancy but I hope you like!

Theodora look

Products used:
Eyes: 
> UDPP
> UD Theodora palette - all shadows except the gold in "Spell" (description of shadows here)
> UD Zero 24/7 eye pencil
> Daniel Sandler Jumbo Jet mascara
> Khuraira ACC in Light 
Face: 
> UD Naked Skin in 7.0
> UD Toasted Baked bronzer
> Sleek Contour Kit in Medium (matte brown shade only)
Lips:
> UD SSLC in "Theodora" (F-Bomb)

After applying UDPP, I followed the instructions on the instruction card included with the palette;
Broken was applied on the brow bone, followed by Bewitch in the crease and Beware blended in between the brow bone and crease. I also added a tiny bit of the black shadow in the Spell duo shadow to the crease for extra definition. West was used on the eyelid and then a bit of the light shade Broken on the middle of the lid. I then used Jealous duo shadow for the bottom lash line and Zero eye pencil to line the whole inner eye as well as top liner. I used the Daniel Sandler Jumbo Jet mascara and Khuraira concealer to finish off the eye.
For the rest of the face, I used Naked Skin foundation in 7.0 all over, with a bit of Toasted bronzer on the cheeks, and the matte brown of the Sleek contour kit in Medium in the hollows of the cheeks. For the lips I used the SSLC in Theodora:

Glinda look

Products used:
Eyes: 
> UDPP
> UD Glinda Palette - all shadows except Magic (description of shadows here)
> UD Rockstar 24/7 eye pencil
> Daniel Sandler Jumbo Jet mascara
> Khuraira ACC in Light 
Face: 
> UD Naked Skin in 7.0
> UD Flushed palette
Lips:
> UD SSLC in "Glinda" (Naked)

I initially followed the instruction card included with the Glinda palette but it looked a hot mess so I decided to do a different version that didn't include the pink shade Magic.
After applying UDPP, I applied the silver shadow of the Oz duo on the inner corner, then the gold from Oz on the middle of the lid, followed by South on the outer corner of the eye. Tornado was added to the crease of the eye and blended upwards, followed by the pink iridescent shade of the Aura duo on the browbone. I used a tiny bit of Illusion in between the brow bone colour and the crease, and rimmed the eye with Rockstar but not on the inner eye.
To finish the eyes I applied under eye concealer and mascara.
For the rest of the face I used the Naked Skin foundation in 7.0 followed by the Flushed palette as Glindas cheeks look highlighted. I used the "Glinda" SSLC on the lips:

If you read my review of the Theodora palette (here), you'll know I gave it a rating of 4/5; after receiving the Glinda palette, I have to say it gets a lower rating of 3-3.5 as the colours do not look the greatest on my skintone, however I do think on fairer skintones it would look quite stunning. My favourite shadows from the Glinda palette have to be the Oz duo and South but Illusion was a tad too chalky for me to use more heavily unfortunately. All in all I enjoyed playing with both palettes and love how great value for money they are!

Which makeup look did you like best? Will you be buying any of the palettes before they're sold out?

  5. I actually bought two Glinda palettes. Aura is so unique! It may seem weird, but I buy backup's of all limited edition products that I love. I love that you cna reuse the palette too. Such a great buy for me. :)
