……
Today I wanted to really dig deep into this palette, & see what kind of looks I could create. I wanted to use the different finishes and highlight them as much as possible. The goal is to push the palette to its limit, & see what types of combinations I can get.
This is the Milani ‘Gilded Gold’ palette, a neutral-toned, 15-shade spectrum of endless possibilities.
There is no eyeliner, no false lashes, no other palette – just the eye-look & a small amount of mascara.
……
THOUGHTS ON LOOKS:
▪️Style #1: Basic Gold – this is my favorite look of the three. I just love how basic it is, yet there’s a little shine. This would be an ‘every day’ eye look for me.
▪️Style #2: Red Hot – this is my least favorite look out of the three! Maybe it was just my fault totally sucking at making a halo eye today, but I just don’t love this one. The bright red metallic is super gorgeous, though!
▪️Style #3: Fantasy – this is my 2nd favorite look out of all of them. It’s kinda weird, & not something you always see…& I love looks like that! The gold shimmer on the lid is killer, too. I really like the duochrome on the lower lashline. It really pulls the green together.
……
FORMULAS USED:
MATTE: 10/10 – I’ve had a great experience with these mattes. Alone, each one holds enough pigment to be used as a solitary shade. They also can be used very lightly, & blended with others, & they layer nicely in this manner. I also like the full color range of mattes we get: light to dark.
METALLIC: 10/10 – These shades are what totally make the palette. Each metallic in this palette holds a base pigment, so you can really use them on their own or as part of a more complex look. They are very soft, yet they pick up well on a brush (which is my preferred method to use all shadows). Again, the color range is very nice: light to dark.

COMMENTS:
I really had a good time creating looks with this palette. It was actually a very easy palette to originate looks from, because the color-story is so diverse (yet all work together). I’m glad I finally got the opportunity to play around with this a little more & examine the formula. A lot of people say the ‘new’ Milani formula is awful, but I personally think that THIS palette has a really nice formula.
