I wanted to try applying the Arbonne colors in the manner shown in the catalog for the Smoky Eye look, so I decided to do the colors again today. Next time I will use a sparkly light powder after the base so the colors go on smoother. I know what works for me, but once in a while I like to work outside the box.
Eyes: Arbonne unless noted
Base:Nude Frost (not Arbonne)
Entire lid: Linen
Shaped lid: Mix of Inkling and Smudge (navy and brown)
Centered over pupil: Bronzy shade, so there is some gleam
Wetlined top and lower: Eclipse pencil, smudged with foam end of pencil
Drylined top and lower: Inkling
Inner Corners: Illume (white)
Brows: Merle Norman powder
Mascara: Arbonne, 2 in 1
Concealer: Yes, forget which
Primer: Avon
Foundation: La Prairie
Rouge: Chanel stick
Powder: Guerlain meteorites, then Lancome pwder fdn on my nose, then my sparkly mix over all because it looked too matte
Lip: Clinique Goodness Grapecious Vitamin C lip smoothie + Gleam gloss + Silver sparkly gloss mixed with blush shine Mixed a bit with my finger, then whatever was on my finger put on my cheeks.
I’m not sure why it looks like there is a line with no color in it. That doesn’t show in RL.
What do you think?
When I work with colors this dark, I need to be very careful as I’m more fair than I look. That is one reason why I never use a darker eyeshadow base to intensify colors. The colors are intense enough already on me. I like the look a lot. Tomorrow I will start with a softer sparkly base before I begin. Stay tuned!

June 13th, 2009 — Arbonne, Aromaleigh, Brows, Concealer, Creating a new lippie, Dior, Eye Shadow, FOTD, Foundation, Highlighting, L'Oreal, Lancome, Lip Gloss, Lipstick, Mascara, Maybelline, Mineral, Primer, Rouge or blush, Stila, Tarte, Techniques
Still having fun using some of my Dior quint sets. It’s been a long time since I’ve used them.
This one has peach, gray, medium blue, light blue, and pink/orchid/magenta in the center. There are lots of ways to use it — perhaps using the top two colors — peach and gray. Or the bottom two: light and medium blue, using some gray in the crease. Or gray and magenta.
Today, I used the whole quint to get a feel for the colors again. It’s surprising how purple the blues pull. The peach is very pretty.
Lid: peach
Crease: gray, then medium blue
Outer Corners: a bit of medium blue, then light blue
Drylined top and lower: magenta
Mascara: Stiletto, top; Tarte, lower
Brows: whatever was left from yesterday
Concealer: Arbonne
I’m still not sure if I’m crazy about mineral foundation or not. It’s supposed to be easier so I’m earmarking it for weekends. It’s also possible I don’t know how to apply it sheer enough (I like a sheer coverage.) It isn’t necessarily faster for me, nor do I particularly like the look better. I do like the color.
Primer: AL
Foundation: Lancome minerals (love their brush!!)
Powder: Lancome minerals
Highlight: L’Oreal Pinkglow
Blush: Lancome Pink Pool (has some sparkle)
Lips: whatever was left on the lip brush from the last time I used it (remember I dedicated one brush to the rims and one brush to the lips), then rimmed and up the center with Stila silkshimmer (kind of a peachy sparkle) (love the gloss, btw!)
Have a great weekend!

I’ve wanted to use Aromaleigh’s Torment for a few days now. It is such a gorgeous color. Melissa wears it extremely well. So does Phyrra. I love it! Somehow red seemed fitting for Good Friday. It was my private reminder.
Eyes:
Base: Nude Frost
Lids: Meow ScandalEyes Nicole S.
Crease: AL Basil (a green-brown)
Lids: AL Torment
Lined MAC blackgraph, top and lower, then outside the lower with MAC earthline
Drylined on top with more Torment
Mascara: CoverGirl Black
This shows the eye color really well:
Primer: Stila
Foundation: Signature Club A, too dark, so I was trying the Stila with it; it works well.
Rouge and Blush (under and over powder) Beauté liqui-gel stain Harlot — such a pretty flush to the skin
Powder: my sparkly mix, followed by BE mineral veil as bronzer
Lips: Love this color!
Isn’t this a great color!
Beauté Urge (a red) rimmed with Beauté Paramour (and in the center)
This is what I had hoped the MAC would look like yesterday, but it was too pink.
What do you think of my look?
