The lovely Jen at BlushandFuss has graciously nominated me for a Liebster Award. I'll have a post about that very soon. She has also given me the motivation to start blogging more often than once every few months.
Blogging can, and should be, a stress relief for me so it's a wonder I have not thought of this before! While I start to create new material (reviews, looks, swatches, hair stuff, etc) I'll be posting more detailed posts of looks seen on my Instagram.
We'll start with this look I like to call "Dusk" because it's not as cliche as Sunset, lol. Enjoy!
I won this Sleek Snaphots Palette in a contest on /r/RandomActsofMakeup from IT143 :)
I will post swatches and the names in an upcoming post!
With it I created this look. I used Purple Haze on the inner corner and between the wings, Tequila Sunrise in the center of my lid, and Magenta Madness in the outer corner and crease. I blended that out with Sand Walker and highlighted a bit with Martini.
The colors themselves are quite pigmented, but I also used my Urban Decay Primer potion and NYX shadow pencil in Milk as a base. The white base really helped the colors pop.
Since the previous photos were taken at night, I decided to try this look again the next day in natural light. I also made it slightly more wearable.
I noticed my right eye wasn't blended as great as the left side. Practice makes perfect! I took this photo from my Instagram, hence the tag.
