Here's where I began:
Eyes:
Base: Nude Frost
Lids on both eyes: AL Lagoon (matte) in new shape
Left Lid: AL Lilypad satin petals frost added
I love Lagoon, but I didn't put a lighter color under today, so it was a bit uneven. And I didn't want straight matte. Adding the lilypad gave it a lustre and conversely both softened and deepened the tone.
After I took the picture, I finished the second eye the same and blended out a bit. Sorry my eye isn't completely closed here.
Here's my finished look:
Lined: top MK Bahama Blue; lower: Sephora Flashy Green
Mascara: Arbonne (both kinds) -- I've heard of a new technique. Using two kinds of mascara, one that lengthens and one that thickens. That makes more sense to me than two coats of mascara, which I never do (with the exception of using the clear Arbonne coat that comes with the 2 step mascara.) This is the first time I've tried it. The 2 step seems to thicken; the other to lengthen (which I did first.)
Brows: Anastasia Caramel wand
Concealer: Dior Skinflash
Nose: Mac Concealer, blended with triangle sponge -- the sponge works so much better than my fingers which only leaves me with polka dots.
Primer and foundation: Arbonne
Rouge: Chanel stick
Powder: my sparkly mix
Highlight: Guerlain Butterfly perles
Bronzer: small touch of Arbonne
Blush: L'Oreal Pink Glow, which is really a highlight/radiance, but I liked it as cheek color today
Lips: Arbonne + Beaute + Mac liner -- see my LOTD post for details. Lined outside with DuWop Reverse liner to keep it from drifting.
What do you think?
I am really happy with the way this turned out. I love the eyeshadow color.
Remember when you do shadow that no one sees the shadow in still life the way these photos show. Your eyes are always in motion. What might look uneven in the pictures does not look that way in RL.
To buy Arbonne from Bookgirl, if you don't have a representative, just ask.
