what do you use vex e/s for?

[BlahWah]

To go with jpoher's suggestion of the combo list, check out the Sweetie Cake quad and the collection's facecharts. It had a shadow almost identical to Vex (Almond Icing I think).

If you pm me your email I can send them to you to get some ideas going. I don't remember exactly how it was used besides as highlight but at least it's something else to go on!

I use my Vex with blues and greens. It looks really beautiful with Surreal and Humid

I never even knew there was something like that out there thanks I now have a place to get ideas for the shadows I already have but am not sure what all to do with them

i like it as one of the inner lid colors with a black smokey eye
it also looks great with pinks, it brings out the slight pink tones in it

 

[Patricia]

here i'm wearing it all over the browbone with black tied on lid blended into the crease

 

[Patricia]

it's a shame cos in that pic you can't really see the gorgeous duochorme but when i'm under some light you can see the green/pink pearl on my browbone

GORGEOUS!!!

seriously, poor vex is sooo underrated!

Definitely a good highlighter, but also if I'm wanting to use a fairly bright or strong colour (Pompous Blue or Freshwater) and not look like a drag queen I use Vex on the lid and then put the stronger colour in the corners of my eyes..

 

[clwkerric]

I always use it for the inner parts of my eyes. It makes them pop!
My fav combo with it is club for outter v & crease with Shale on lid Vex as the inner corner but fades into the crease and vanilla piggie to highlight! YUMMY! I love it!!

Also, here is something I found on another website about Vex combos....

vex (frost)

I used a dark liquid liner to line my upper lash line & winged it out slightly. I used Vanilla pigment on brow bone & inner corners of my eyes. & Stubborn brown to line lower rims. The real icing on the cake was using Mac's Spunsilver glitter liner over the liners on my upper & lower lash line & using it on top of my bottom lashes (after mascara was applied & dried).
• Club on the lid, Vex to highlight, & Humid to line. You could also do Humid in the crease w/ this look. W/ either of these 2, I do Tarnish on the inner rim. Or, Humid on the lid, Club in the crease, Vex to highlight, & Tarnish e/k to line whole eye & inner rim.
• Mythology-I like to wear it w/ Bronze or Mulch, Tempting & Sable! You can also use it w/ Trax in the crease, Vex also looks good w/ it!

• Greensmoke on the lid fading up to Brill, Vex on the inner lid fading to the Greensmoke on the outer lid.
• Vellum as a wash, Vex on the lid, Patina in crease outer corner & lined w/ Club or Stroke of Midnight.
• Vex w/ Night Owl in crease & to line.
• Vex: The only way I like this color is to use it as a wash over the eye, Patina on the lid & Cranberry in the crease.
• Pixel Paint as base, Vex as wash, Swish in inner corners & to line the bottom, Shale in crease, Phone Number, Whirl l/l, Pink Aura l/s.
• Chartru paint on the lid, Humid over the Chartru, Club in the crease, highlight w/ Stilife w/ Vex over that, line eyes w/ a dark blue (the blue brings out the jewel tones in the green).
