Green Smoky Eye Inspired by MUFE Smoky Palette

A few people have been talking about the Make Up Forever Smoky Palette that was supposed to be at Sephora but hasn't showed up yet. In any case the looks that are associated with this palette in the advertizing are really pretty. So I decided to do a look inspired by the green look. I think I will try to do the brown one tomorrow. Here are the MUFE looks:

I am going to put and (R) next to shadows that are from the Bare Escentuals Ready Palettes. Some of the shadows in the palettes have the same name as the loose minerals so it might get confusing.

50/50 mix well rested/clear radiance all over,
LORAC Beige lash to brow,
Swanky under brow and inner corner,
For Real lash into crease on most of lid and dry lined along lower lash line,

Blues at Twilight

Do you ever notice all the shades of blue at twilight? I wish I could capture them all. But since I can’t I had to settle for creating this blue look layer by layer while listening to Camera Obscura “Biggest Bluest Hi-fi”  (great album—not a bad song on it). Today is going to be an adventure. When I went to the gym this morning the streets hadn’t been plowed so I was busting through snow banks and driving like a maniac—it was kind of fun.

EYES:

Primetime for eyes,
50/50 mix well rested/clear radaince all over,
Blush under brow,
Twilight in the crease and outer 1/3ish,
Denim blended into twilight on the outer 2/3,
Azure blended over Denim in the middle-ish,
Neptune lash to crease on the inner 1/3ish,
Marina wet lined on top, Twilight dry lined on bottom,
Tarte 4-in-1 mascara.

A Classic look

I tried to curl my hair but it didn't work out so well--it just kind of looks crazy.

Christmas Tree Colours and a new Haircut

This look was inspired by a picture of a christmas tree all aglow.

I also cut my hair. I think I like it--it is very short but fluffly which is nice.

True Love

My husband and I are celebrating our 5-year anniversary this week. We try to go back to visit the falls where we got engaged every year. This was my look for our day of mini golf and go carts.

For this look I used the purple side of the Kat Von D True Love Palette. I think I'm wearing BE TTYL blush and gelato lipstick with NYX Pink Nude in the center.

Classic Blue look

Today's look is a very common blue look. There are just some colour combinations you can't go wrong with, blue and white is one of those. Blues look great with so many other colours (greens, pinks, cremes, yelleow, brown) but if you want a simple combination that will play up the blue just pair it with any white. I picked moonstruck because it has the slightest hint of purple in it that I thought might show up when mixed with the HS Electric (I don't think it does but it still looks nice).

EYES:

TFSI, wr/cr,

Moonstruck under brow,

HS Electric lash belended into crease on outer 3/4,

Moonstruck lash to crease on inner 1/4ish,

Luxe dry lined on top and outer corner of lower lashes,

Stellitos curling mascara.
