A Billion Stars - FrontCover Swatches

I was overjoyed to see this addition to the FrontCover To Go range. I loved last years To Go Palette and the Spring Collection that followed, but really wanted a few slightly less shimmery additions to go with it. So seeing the Satin Pressed neutrals and Shot Silk Effect Blues and Greens in this set was most exciting. Having said that BrickBat and Baby's Eyes in Baked Powder have really wowed me here too. Meanwhile I'll continue to nudge FrontCover along to bring us some mattes - please please!

For some reason my photography sessions with this set have been pants - I've had several goes and they still don't measure up to my exacting standards, but here goes:

The set contains, Shadowline, which I've raved on about endlessly before - Changes any of the shadows into eyeliner - especially recommend you have a go at this with the Twinkle Baked Powders. Eye Effects Glue to Keep those Billion Stars in place and Shadowbase simply a brilliant base for your shadows. I've swatched all 16 shadows with a base of Shadowbase across the top of the swatch tailing down to bare skin. This gives an idea of how much difference the Shadowbase makes if you want colour intensity or the subtleness that can be achieved without. Glitter Stars and 2 pigment pots make up the rest of A Billion Stars. The set costs £35 and is part of Boots 3 for 2 offer.
