Holiday Party Look with Video

So today I did a video with black lab and extreme silver. I used the same method with the teal, green and gold looks I did last week.

I made a swatch of Black Lab and put a bunch of different colours over it. Hopefully that will give you some more ideas for holiday looks.

I used the Sephora glitter paddle with the extreme silver and I have to say that I am pleased with how it worked. The silver ended up looking really good and I was able to distribute it evenly over my lid. I did however have some fall out but not nearly as much as with a regular brush.

Swatches:
I think 1990's, King and Congo would look really great.

EYES:

PTFE, wr/cr,
Garland under brow,
Buxom Stay There in black lab lash blended into crease and winged out,
Extreme Silver lash to crease,

A Smokey Eye Bender

For some reason I have been doing variations on the smokey eye. I've not done a true black and grey smokey eye but smoke has been on my mind. So here are three looks with a smokey quality.

EYES:
PTFE, wr/cr,
Buxom Stay There Black Lab lash into crease,
Snowmandance Glorious Green lash to crease,
Whimsy to blend out edges under the brow,
Flawless mascara with Buxom mascara over it.

CHEEKS: Pink Tourmaline blush
LIPS: Sorbet lipstick with lipfusion Crave gloss over it.

EYES:
PTFE, wr/cr,
Reflection under brow,
Gracious in crease,
Buxom Stay There Bull dog lash to crease,
Gracious blended over bull dog in the outer 1/3,
Onyx dry lined on top,
Tarte mascara.


CHEEKS: Giddy Pink blush
LIPS: Icing gloss.

This last look is more misty than smokey and it's kind of an odd combination.

EYES:
PTFE, wr/cr,
Classic Rock under brow,
BST Pug lash to crease,
Dragonfly in crease and wet lined on top,
Flawless definition mascara.


CHEEKS: First Class Blush
LIPS: Blush Quick Stick

Even More Buxom Eye Shadows: Bull Dog, Black Lab and Poodle

I don't have any swatches right now but maybe I'll get them done this weekend and update this post.
UPDATE:

As you  can tell I really like the Buxom Stay There shadows. UPDATE: Black lab is more sheer than I thought it would be. You really have to get a lot of product on your brush if you want to use it as a liner. But it also makes a great sheer black base for a smoky eye. I also felt like I had to really pack on Bull dog to get the right saturation of colour. I have never had a problem with Buxom eye shadows creasing before but all three of these creased a bit even though I used primer under them. Maybe it was because I used only the buxom shadows without some minerals mixed in, but I have heard other people complain of creasing so maybe it is the batch or the colours, I don't know. I'll let you know if anything changes.

The first look is a party look but I think it would be fine for daytime too. The second look is all I could manage this morning. I had to get up early to grade papers and I haven't been sleeping well--it shows. My students asked me if I'd been up all night grading their papers.
