EotD Smoky, dusty green!

Friday, August 28, 2009
What I used:
-Pure Luxe Peek-a-boo- candy pink base with a bright jewel pink interference
-TSS A Tale of Twins from Gemini collection- smoky iridescent green with layers of gold, lime, aqua and violet iridescent shimmer
-Aromaleigh "Satin Petals" Pure Eyes Frost in Basil- lusterized grey/green taupe with silvery sheen highlight
-Fyrinnae Anaconda- (not from website, this is my description)- deep, dark matte green with a hint of brown
-Fyrinnae Lip lustre in Very Berry Happy- (not from website, this is my description) - pale pink with a slight lavender tone
-Physician's Formula Mineral Blush in Rosy Glow

This actually took me awhile...It was one of those days where your makeup won't turn out right! I wanted to use green since I feel I've been neglecting it...Poor green! Plus, my eyes, skin and hair look awesome with it! This pics are with semi-wet hair so they aren't that great!Okay so I used Tale of Twins on the inner 2/3rds of my eyelid first. Then I put Basil (which is another neglected, but gorgeous color!) on the outer 1/3rd and crease. Next I used Peek-a-boo on my browbone and a teeny little bit in the inner vee. You can't see in the pics but it looks basically like there's nothing there until the light hits it and BAM pink shimmer!

Ugh, still swollen lips up there!! Anyhoo, this is where stuff started getting messed up. I wetlined Anaconda on the upper and lower lashlines, but it ended up sort of thick on top so I used A Tale of Twins to lighten it a bit. Then on my lower lashline I wanted it to be a bit smudgier so I took a little more Anaconda (using a lip brush) and gently smudged the line. I added Very Berry Happy (it matched the pink highlight!) and Rosy Glow.
Kissy Face!!!

The green definitely does look great with your hair! And of course I like the last pic best.:)

I love this look. It's soft yet sultry. The basil is really pretty. I haven't ordered any of the Aromaleigh shadows yet but I did get my Fyrinnae order the other day. I'm loving the Javan Rhino- so pretty. Thanks again for the recs.
