I didn't have a chance to post this yesterday, because my fiance finally came home from his trip and it was a lot of hassle between Sunday night and Monday morning to get him home. However, today I'm bringing you the inspiration that I wanted to share yesterday. I realize this would have been way more effective yesterday, but what can you do when Delta ruins your night and morning? - This is a green smokey eye, but the shade of green is a little different than what you usually see.
- I started from the inner corner of my eye and worked outwards, using "Clock Strikes Midnight" by EM Michelle Phan from the Holiday Life Palette New Year's Countdown edition. I made sure to blend well and really fade it out at the end of the eye.
- I took "Mint Julep" by Meow Cosmetics from their Summer Spirits collection and put that over the dark Clock Strikes Midnight. This color is a light green with gold iridescence. It is a little sheer and light and looks best over another shade to amplify it. (This is also a limited edition collection that is released every summer.)
- I used "Tease" from the Naked 2 Palette by Urban Decay as the crease color, just to give some depth and dimension to the eye. I blended really well!
- Also from the Naked 2 Palette, I used "Foxy" as the highlight color.
- I lined only the bottom of my eyes with Tarina Tarantino's Eye Dream Hyperline in "Spark of Envy".
- The lipstick is "Pleasure Bomb" from MAC's RiRi Hearts MAC holiday collection released in 2013.
Again, apologizes for this being late, but I still wanted to share. Comments are always welcome and I'd love to see your green inspired look for the holiday this year!
As I stated in my last post, I was on vacation and I'm back now! So, I have a lot of catching up to do! Christmas is not a big holiday to me. I do not personally celebrate this holiday, but for family and friends I do. I spent most of Christmas day on the phone and internet connecting with my friends and family who were far away. I did go see the movie "47 Ronin" that day, which is a movie based on a true Japanese story, and I highly suggest you see the movie if you like action; skip the 3D though, because it was clearly not made for 3D viewing.
First let me start by sharing my nails and also asking that you ignore my Pinkie. I damaged my finger Christmas Eve and it bled under the skin. It has since healed. - I painted my nails in "Emerald Rock City" from Wet 'N Wild's Fergie line. This polish was part of Fergie's holiday collection from 2013.
My makeup is all from the Too Faced limited edition palette released over the holidays entitled "A Few of my Favorite Things":
- I used Too Faced Shadow Insurance to prime my eyes.
- First I used "Creme Colored Ponies" as a highlight color.
- Then I took "Melt Into Spring", which is actually a blush, and used it as the crease and blending coloring.
- I finished with "Pure Glam", a sparkly black, and that was all over the lids.
- I lined my eyes with Tarina Tarantino's Eye Dream Hyperliner in "Spark of Envy".
- I used both bronzers from the palette and the blush I used on my face was "Raindrops on Roses".
- My lipstick is the color "RiRi Woo" which is part of the Rihanna collection from MAC.
