Brown Palette

I tried a more neutral look..well kinda neutral!  There has to be some shimmer in it somewhere!  Here is the look (and with a much better camera if you have noticed!!!!)

 

I had a shimmery brown that matches my skin that I brushed over the entire lid, then with an off white shadow, I dabbed it in the inner corners of my lid.  Next, I took a medium-dark brown and patted it on my outer lid, brushing it lightly towards the middle of the lid (don't over blend) and took that same dark brown color towards the bridge of my nose...very lightly. Here it is without stepping into the sun, but you see the differences in the colors in this one.

Then I used a black gel liner, and black Maybelline mascara.  I guess I never talked about the other things I use besides eyeshadow..but I also use a shimmer bronzing dust in gold that I very lightly dust on my forehead, down my nose, apple of cheeks and chin.  It just gives you just enough glow to look like you have been in the sun.

I hope you liked this look, and thanks for stopping by!!!

Pinkish Blue Wednesday

I was unsure about these colors because they are so bright, but I went with it anyway!

 

Here's what I used:

~ For a primer, I used Too Faced eyeshadow insurance, then used NYX in Milk on whole lid, smoothing it with my finger.

~ Inner lid, I used a pale, iridescent pink from my True Colors Racy Pink Stack (3rd from top).  Patted it on with a brush.

~ On the middle of my lid, I used a bright pink from the True Colors Caribbean Sunrise stack, patting it on with a new brush (4th from top)  This picture doesn't show how bright it really is.

~ For the outer lid, I used a medium blue (3rd from bottom in same stack) and patted it on with a new brush.

~ Then, I used a fluff brush and blended the colors (lightest to darkest); then I used Maybelline black gel eyeliner to line my eye on the top as well as on my water line.

~ Lastly, I used "Moonstone" from Mary Kay on my brow bone for highlight and used a medium brown brow pencil to fill in my brows, then put on "Falsies" mascara in black.

Thanks for stopping by, hope you like it!

Golden Daze

I was trying a new, more neutral colored look.  I thought it came out pretty nice.  And it looked even better in the sunrise...(if I say so myself...kidding!)

 (do you like my dog sniffing around in the background???  Classic!)

Here is what I used:

~ Inner eye, toward corner, I used a pale color from my "Brown" stack of True Colors, 1st one in stack.

~ Then I used a gold color, 4th from top on the middle of my lid.

~ On the outer lid, I used a matte dark brown (not shown, generic brand)

~ I blended the colors (lightest to darkest) with a fluff brush.  

~ I used "Moonstone" from Mary Kay on the brow bone for a highlight and penciled in a little of my eyebrows for a better shape.

~ Lastly, I used "Falsies" mascara in black
