Wow, I really loved the shape of this eye. I have never had it done like this, and the trick will be if I can copy it.
Everything is Chanel unless noted. We used Sublimage serum and moisturizer and eye cream (over the Arbonne I had used earlier.) This was done at Neiman Marcus.
#16 Fall 2009 shadow -- a quad with soft, medium and dark teals (the dark is shot with sparkle) and soft pink.
Pink done all over lid. Dark teal dry lining the lower lashes. Dark and Medium teal used to define shape and crease. The lightest teal was used in the inner corner. Then some grey over the inner corner to brighten even more.
Mascara: Chanel
Brow: Chanel Blond pencil
Ivory Foundation -- a little dark.
Concealer: Beige 10 (hard to read the writing) also used as shadow base (shadow has creased in one spot hours later)
Lined on top with a liquid wand.
Rosee pressed powder -- what a great color, shot with teeny sparkles -- I'm not sure how it compares with what I have at home. I think it is lighter. Both are pinks; both are Chanel. She also used this all around the outside of my eye and top and cheekbones to highlight.
Blush: Sienna from the Fall colors also.
Lips:
Guerlain #8 + Chanel Rosey pencil + Chanel Sundress lipgloss
This looks nice in RL; looks too made up in the pix; but I still prefer a softer look using all the colors rather than so much product on my lips.
What do you think?
I'm definitely going to keep analyzing this eye today and try to copy it tomorrow. I like the eye a lot.
To buy Arbonne from Bookgirl, if you don't have a representative, go here.
Thanks for looking!

That technique really gives your eyes a lift!
I really think it does too. I love the idea of not putting it into the inner corner or crease.
