EOTD - for a change

Hello Dear Readers, 


I need to do another manicure this week, but for now, here's a post of my makeup today. I usually would do a smoky look with either silver or gold, but not both. Today I tried a combo and I like how it turned out.

I was wearing a top that was sort of grey with some gold and black details, so it inspired this look.

I used a piece of tape along the outer corner when I applied the eyeshadow to get that clean angled edge.  I've been using that technique lately, and I think it works great!

I used some Inglot shadows and the gold is Urban Decay "Half Baked".  I fill in my brows with MAC "Coquette".  For a base I use UDPP.

Please leave me your comments and tell me what do you think of silver, grey and gold together?

EOTD - Lemon Lime Eyeshadow Look

Hey all,

it's been quite some time since I posted my EOTD.  Here's one I did - a lemon/lime smokey eye kind of look.

I used MAC "Canary Yellow" in the inside corner.
I used MAC "Kelly" (a bright green) on the lid.
I used MAC "Riot" (deeper green) in the crease.
I used MAC "Carbon" (black) on the outer "V".

I used a random whitish shimmery shadow from an unlabelled NYX palette for my highlight.
I used MAC creme liner in black.
I used MAC "Coquette" to fill in the brows.

Hope you like this look... I love wearing colourful eyeshadow! Do you?

Lavender & Lime Eye Look

Okay, so it's really more like purple and lime, but I couldn't resist the alliteration of "lavender & lime"!

Smashbox Photofinish Lid Primer

MAC pigment in "Violet" (applied wet)

Barry M Dazzle Dust #99 (applied wet over "Violet")

MAC "Beautiful Iris" e/s on browbone and inner tear duct

MAC "Bitter" e/s to line lower lashes

MAC "Carbon"e/s to line waterline

MAC creme liner on upper lashline

MAC "Coquette" e/s to fill brows

Maybelline "The Falsies" mascara - LOVE IT!!

And now, in different lighting...

Hope you enjoy this eyeshadow look. I love these colours together. Do you?

EOTD - Brights!

This look may not be everyone's cup of tea, but sometimes I love doing a really bright eye look.

The four main shadows I used to create this look are 4 colours by MAC. 

Bitter = bright lime green (on the lid)

Riot = matte darker green (in the crease and outer corner)

Carbon = black (a bit on outer edge) 

Tilt = frost bright blue (over Lapis eyeliner by Annabelle)

Oh yeah, I used a black kohl liner on the waterline and a thin line of MAC's creme liner in black on the top lash line.  

To get a sharp edge on the outer corner, some people use tape, but I just hold a piece of paper towel against my eye and shadow over the straight edge of it.  It doesn't irritate my skin like ripping off tape would, and it's slightly softened, which I like.

So, do you like this look or is it too much for you? Would you ever wear this, yourself?

Thanks for looking, and I hope you are all enjoying Father's Day!

EOTD - Can you say PINK?

So, I've been really busy and haven't had time to do my nails, but I still had to put on makeup, of course!

I used NYX White, NYX Hot Pink and MAC Pro Pigment - Red Electric. The liner I use is MAC's cream liner (got it at the Pro Store) and Maybelline - The Falsies in Blackest Black for mascara.  Oh yeah, I added a bit of shimmer in the inner corner and on the brow bone with a MAC white frosty pigment, but the name of it wore off the container ages ago!

The Red Electric pigment says "not safe for use in the eye area" but I don't seem to have any trouble with it over a base like MAC paint pot or Smashbox Lid Primer.

Extreme closeup!

Thanks for looking, and have a great day!
