Spring Flower Inspired Look!

Tuesday, November 17, 2009
No more sunshine for me! Ohio winter has officially begun and it gets light around 8am and dark by 5pm...I started looking at flower pictures and loved this one! What I used:
-Hi Fi Cosmetics Brandy-amazing lavender-pink with tons of shimmer
-Hi Fi Cosmetics In Bloom-hot pink with a little sparkle
-Hi Fi Cosmetics Vogue- icy pink with SUPER shimmer
-Hi Fi Cosmetics Boom Shaka Laka- dark forest green with fine gold shimmer
-Covergirl TruShine Lipcolor in Powderpink Shine- soft, shimmery pink
-Exposed Organics Nectar mixing mediumI didn't use a primer because I wanted a sort of soft, washed out effect. Hi Fi shadows are really pigmented though, so everything still came out great! Please excuse the brows...seriously, they are OUT OF CONTROL >.<Brandy in inner vee. Vogue in middle of lid. In Bloom in outer vee, crease, and buffed downwards towards cheeks. Brandy again as highlight and dusted over In Bloom to make a duochrome-y effect. Boom Shaka Laka wetline on top and bottom and smudged.
I can't believe I haven't tried out Brandy shadow yet! It's so gorgeous in person! So soft with the perfect amount of shimmer and shine, but still pigmented enough to see. I always have trouble with light colors showing up on my pale skin, but Brandy did the trick!

I actually cleaned up my kit today and found Powderpink Shine. I've forgotten how much I love the TruShine lip formula. It's really moisturizing and glossy, with a comfortable non-sticky texture. It stays on for HOURS surprisingly! I mean, I went to class, post office, and the grocery store and when I came home...still looks the same! The color Powderpink is pigmented enough to hide my dark-ish lips, but still "see-through" enough that I don't look dead. Once I took it off (I hate eating or drinking with anything on my lips!), they felt nice and soft and not like I've been wearing lipstick all day. Two big thumbs up for TruShine!

Have you tried TruShine? Is it all grey where you live yet? Or are you one of those damn lucky ones with sun all year round XD What do you think of Brandy shadow? Are you into pale lavender as an eyecolor?

I really like how you took the pink off of your lid and really surrounded your eye.

i love the name of the colour you used as a liner - boom shaka laka, made me lol
Really like how you've extended the pink to the outside of the eye; i tried that once and it just didnt work at all =P

Those are lovely sweet eye shades. Beautiful!

I've never tried TruShine myself but I can say that I haven't seen any sunshine today here in Holland. The weather's been horrid today. :(

It's grey. And the darker shade of it. 6pm and it's almost pitch black outside. Blah.

@Angie...Me too! Haha I saw it and just lol'ed. We must be the same age! I used to (oh my god, can't believe I'm admitting this!) wear red lipstick smudged around my eyes like this back in my "punk" days. This is much better!

@Nea...I knew you would! Its such a "nea" color!
