Make Up Your Mind

I was determined to use turquoise today, but I didn't want the same old look, so I tried something new.
I was happy with the outcome, though it can use some cleaning up.  Here are a few more pics so you can see how it looks...
What I used:
First, I used Two Faced shadow primer, then went to my trusty eyeshadow, True Colors.
~I used the turquoise in the Eastside stack and patted it on my whole lid to the crease.



(3rd from the bottom)
~ On the inner lid, going over my crease towards the top, I used a pretty shocking purple from the Classic Stack
(the only purple color in this stack!)
~Then from the same stack, I took the gold (4th from bottom) and took a thin flat brush and patted it along my inner lower lashline
~ With the same fluffy brush that I used the turquoise, I dabbed a bit of black (Storm from Mary Kay) and patted it on the outer lid, blending it towards the middle.
~ I also used a lime green above the turquoise on the outer lid (which didn't show at all, so I think this step needs to be skipped.
~Then I used gel eyeliner from Maybelline on the top lashline and on the bottom lashline from the outer corner to the end of the gold color, and finished it with Falsies mascara in black.

Hope you like this look!!!

Surround Yourself with Favorites

This eyeshadow is my absolute favorite color.  I get so many compliments on it when I wear it (probably because they think I blended it that well) but believe it or not...this comes blended already.  It has several colors in one - brown, turquoise, green.  But depending on what you wear, that color seems to show more, it's magic!!!  Just pat it on, slap some mascara on and go!!!!



It is from True Colors, and they seem to like the color too, for it's in a few stacks that they carry...
The first stack is called "Brown" (5th from top) and the second stack is called "Westside" (last color).  It is in other stacks but those are the first ones that I came to.  Anywho, hope you like it as much as I do!!!
