Smoky Fall Look

I wanted to use a bunch of colours I've been neglecting and it resulted in this fall look.

EYES:

Too Faced Shadow Insurance,
50/50 mix well rested/clear radiance all over,
Hay under brow,
Buxom Stay there Black Lab lash into crease,
Trophy Wife lash to crease on inner 1/2,
Panther lash into crease on outer 1/2ish,
Big and Bright Black Gold liner,
mascara.


CHEEKS: Poppy blush
LIPS: Smashbox Lipliner in Palm Beach with LORAC gloss in Bliss over it.

High Shine Rose Gold and High Shine Bronzed

I didn't think I would like either of these high shine colours but I really love High Shine Rose Gold. It is a really pretty mid-tone pink with a metallic gold sheen, it reminds me a little bit of Cupcake. High Shine Bronzed is lighter than I thought it would be. It does not have a smoky base and can be applied in a rather sheer layer.

Video: Buxom Stay There Eye Shadow

I've gotten a lot of requests for a video with the new Buxom Shadows so I finally did one this morning. I felt like I had a lot to say but forgot some of it so if you have any questions just let me know.

MOST WANTED volume 2

Bare escentuals released the second edition of the Most Wanted kit during the June show on QVC. This one has four colours that were not a set and do not necessarily go together. I think there are ways that you could wear them together but I wanted to do a look with each colour seperately. I like all of the colours except Amber, but that is because I am not really a fan of pinkish/reddish/browns.

All the colours have a really interesting silvery sheen that not many of the newer bare escentuals colours have. You can really see the sheen in the swatch I did of Pacific. Moonstruck is beautiful and it seems to have a very very slight purple cast in some light--that's why I swatched ecstacy with it. You can't see the purple cast in the swatches. Hay is a beautiful buttery yellow. I think it is most similar to Banana Smoothie, but it defintly has a different texture. Many people have compared Pacific to Denim and I have heard that Denim replaced Pacific. I don't think denim and pacific are that similar. Denim is brighter and I like it better. Pacific is most similar to Ocean and ocean even has a similar sheen, just not to the same degree as Pacific. Amber is not exactly like anything I already have but it is similar to cocoa as others have mentioned.

I will put the comparison swatches before each look.
