Dior Goldrush Face of the Day: A Brown and Khaki Eye
Posted by Karen on April 21st, 2008
I must confess: I have a kindergarten crush on the new Dior Golds 569 palette. Actually, I have room in my heart for all five of the colors in the new Dior quint, but my favorite is khaki. Today I paired it with MAC Soba eyeshadow (in the crease ) to create a brown and khaki daytime eye.
Dior me, baby!
For the above look I used…
Over the entire eye
- Too-Faced Shadow Insurance Primer
Browbone
- Beige shade from Dior Golds 569 palette
Crease
- MAC Soba eyeshadow
Lid
- Khaki shade from Dior Golds 569 palette
Inner eye
- Gold shade from Dior Golds 569 palette
Upper lash line
- MAC Fluidline liner in Graphic Brown
Lower lash line
- MAC Technakohl Liner in Brownborder smudged with bronze shade from Dior Golds 569 palette
Lashes
- Shu Uemura Precise Volume Mascara in black
Brows
- MAC Concrete eyeshadow
Undereye circles
- Dior Long-Wearing Moisturizing Concealer in 430
- Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder #2
Face
- Laura Mercier Oil-Free Tinted Moisturizer in Almond
- Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Powder
Cheeks
- Dior Golden Dior Luminizing Makeup Jewel
- MAC Sunbasque blush
Lips
- MAC Her Fancy lipstick
- Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss in Coral Lame 337
Dior put together some highly pigmented, shimmery shadows for the 569 palette. I took extra care not to over-apply because I wanted a subtle look I could wear to work. That’s also why I went with MAC Soba in the crease, to help tone everything down. If you’re aiming for a bigger, bolder evening version of this same look, all you’d have to do is replace MAC Soba with something a little richer, like either the brown or bronze shades from the Golds 569 palette. Whaddaya think?
Happy Monday, cuties! What kind of day have you been having? Mine has been a’ight so far. I’m heading off to work in a few.
Keep on keepin’ on, ya’ll!
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

Had a gret day, the weather is heatin up nicely over here in London !

Hi Anna,
I wish I was there! It’s *really* cold here today! I need some hot tea, ASAP.
This Dior palette is very pretty but also very BAM! GLAM! THANK YOU MA’AM! Talk about shimmery and pigmented. I love it for night looks, but I gotta tone it down for the day time.
April 21st, 2008 at 1:16 pm
One reason I have this blog in my google reader is because I don’t have the money to get all the makeup you use, but I live vicariously through you.haha It’s nice to get new ideas and tricks, too.
The weather is getting gorgeous in New York now, everything is blooming finally! Thank God for Claritin.

Hi Bridget,
You can create this look easily with L’Oreal Aishwarya Greens. (I have this palette, too…I’m going through a huge khaki phase). You have to wet your brush to get the same shadow intensity though as Dior’s…
NY sounds gorgeous right now. I am right there with you in the allergy department! I’m all about the Zyrtec, girl!
April 21st, 2008 at 1:46 pm
You’re killing me here! i want this so bad.

Hi BeautyTalk,
Get it girl! It’s very pretty and so versatile.
Happy Monday!
April 21st, 2008 at 2:33 pm
That’s gorgeous! The Coral Lame gloss really pulls the whole look together! So pretty!
I think this would work nicely with the Shu bronze gold drawing pencil on the upper lash like too!
April 21st, 2008 at 2:57 pm
That looks SO pretty and natural on you!! Very nice!!
April 21st, 2008 at 3:16 pm
Hi Glosslizard,
Thanks girl! I thought about busting out the Shu drawing pencil. I haven’t used it on the upper lash line (yet), just the lower waterline (to open up the eyes). I will try both that and Fluidline in Sage…
I am quickly getting more and more obsessed with greens. Who knew they’d be so darn wearable?
April 21st, 2008 at 3:25 pm
Thanks Mariah!
That’s what I was going for… I can’t go too crazy when I go to work! Hope you’re having a wonderful Monday!
April 21st, 2008 at 3:44 pm
ur beauty mesmerizes me. i love bronzey coppers on u
April 21st, 2008 at 3:47 pm
Iheartmakeup! Girl, you make me blush! I hope you are having a wonderful Monday and that you’re feeling good!
April 21st, 2008 at 4:45 pm
wow, look at you! SO radiant! Your lashes are so long, I envy you! The look is very sunny, I like I like!
April 21st, 2008 at 4:51 pm
Hi Dao,
Thanks! I owe those lashes to Shu Uemura mascara!
BTW, Tabs is currently sitting on my lap as I type this! He says Hi!
April 21st, 2008 at 5:18 pm
Hi there! I’ve been reading (and loving) the blog for a while and now I have to comment. The face is gorgeous! Love the brown and khaki combination on you. Two questions: Where could I get the summer collection? (Would it be at any Dior counter?) and when is it supposed to be out? Keep up the great work!
April 21st, 2008 at 5:26 pm
I have such the love affair with greens! The way they can go from warm to cool with gold or blue undertones is amazing! And speaking of greens with blue…. I wore Parrot for the first time today! Holy s**t! It is so much more gorgeous on the lids than in the pan! I never suspected!! *Insert little hearts here*
April 21st, 2008 at 7:08 pm
you look fantastic! I do have question: what exactly is the difference when you say “lid” and “inner eye”? cause I think lid as from side to side, if that makes sense, LOL.
I hope you had a good day too=I was busy here. Had to go to the dentist this morning, and the vet this afternoon, all while fitting in a full day of work. Tomorrow should be better
April 21st, 2008 at 7:20 pm
Gosh! That looks lovely! The palette looks warm though and I don’t do warm eyes very well. I must check it out when it gets here.
btw I love your blog esp your pictures!
April 21st, 2008 at 8:43 pm
Gosh Karen, u look so pretty!
This is just the kind of look I’d like to wear to work too… lemme see.. maybe I’ll grab a Revlon colorstay quad in Khaki and combine it with one of my gold e/s shades.. oughta give a similar effect, wat say u?

Hi Tabby! Did you cat-nap him or what? He seems to be in your place than his
gotta love a cool cat!
April 22nd, 2008 at 1:27 pm
Hi Leslie,
Thank you my dear!
It’s very nice to meet you.
You can get the summer collection at any Dior counter or at sephora’s online store.
The collection hits this month, and so call fave counter to find out exact date that they’re getting it in!
Hope you are having a wonderful day and that we chat again soon.
April 22nd, 2008 at 1:28 pm
Hi Glosslizard,
SWWEEEET! I had a feeling it would absolutely gorgeous on you. What did ya pair it with?
Yay for Parrot!
April 22nd, 2008 at 1:28 pm
Hi Amanda,
The inner eye is the area closest to the tear duct. I’ve found that adding a touch of iridescent shadows to that area really opens up the eyes and makes them look bigger! I’ve used golds like this one and Vex from MAC for this! Try it sometime, it’s pretty hot once you find the one that works for ya.
Oh, are the puppies/kitty okay? I hope the Vet visit went well…
Did I ever tell you that I hate going to the dentist? I’m the worse dental patient EVER!
April 22nd, 2008 at 1:28 pm
Hi Amita,
Thanks girl! Yes, that will totally work. I’ve a similar look to this with a drugstore quad L’oreal’s Aishwarya greens.
To get the same shimmery intensity all I do is wet my brush and voila! Shimmery shadows. 
How’s your day been, btw?
April 22nd, 2008 at 1:29 pm
Thank you MsNotty!
April 22nd, 2008 at 1:29 pm
Hi Dao,
Naw… he just shows up to my door and scratches away! He knows at my house he gets treats, food, lap time, etc. Seriously, I need help. I buy that fool toys and brushes and he ain’t even my cat.
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:08 pm
My pleasure Karen<3
April 22nd, 2008 at 5:02 pm
Awww! Big hugs Iheartmakeup! Hope you are enjoying your day!
April 22nd, 2008 at 10:13 pm
I did a duo tone eye with Parrot and Lemon Sugar (I knew that had to be the first look I tried!) and a little matte brown in the crease. Paired it with my Guerlain bronzer and Gazelle on the lips! Pretty nice, if I do say so myself! An excellent look for summer!
April 22nd, 2008 at 10:16 pm
Hi Glosslizard,
I KNEW you would do that. Seriously! I just knew! I don’t need a picture to tell me that’s hot.
Now if only summer would come already!
April 23rd, 2008 at 10:10 am
Hee hee! I knew you would know!
Y’know, I hate to say goodbye to spring too soon (I love the spring!) but all these golds and greens and corals are just really pushing me into summer looks! Oh well, gotta go with the flow!
April 23rd, 2008 at 1:27 pm
I love the spring too… but will be happy to say g’bye to my allergies! *ah-choo!*
April 23rd, 2008 at 3:15 pm
thanks for the tip Karen! That makes more sense now.
the critters are OK now. Sherwin cut his paw last week (now that was a big messy headache) but he’s a trooper. We just had to have a bandage change and let the vet the stiches.
April 24th, 2008 at 2:51 pm
Hi Amanda,
You’re welcome, girlfriend! Oh no, poor Sherwin! What happened?!
