I've had a couple of palettes hanging around that I basically never used. It helps sometimes to analyze why something isn't working. I bought this one (Crystal Ball Color Kit) because it has a really cool sparkly gloss in it (Starshine.) I figured I could use the other colors. Shadows: Pink Charm -- light pink; Illusion -- light brown, Shadow -- charcoal-black. Powder/Blush: Fairy Dust (peachy -- not quite enough for blush, a little too dark for me for powder or highlighting.) Lippies: Dream (peachy), Flirt (medium pink), Max (deeper red/burgundy.)
Eyes:
Lids: pink; Crease: brown, then the charcoal; Outer corners: brown.
Basically the reason the shadows don't work really well for me is that they are too light or too dark. The pink hardly shows up against my skin. The brown isn't dramatic enough, and the black is too harsh with these colors.
I got the idea to add
Drylined top and lower: AL heartofglass -- great color that pops it
Tightlined top, wetlined bottom with Venomous gel liner -- the one that BookGirl likes so well on me -- and I do too, now that I know to apply it with the back end of the liner brush! Who knew...but it makes it more smudgy and covers the waterline well.
Then my eyes were OK.
Powder: my sparkly, then from the palette. As I said, the color isn't strong enough for blush or is too much for highlighting. I added too much fooling with it.
Blush: MAC Dollymix
Lips Loved the lips today! It helps to know how to rim.
Flirt on one lip; Starshine on the other; smooshed; rimmed with MAC Dazzlepuss and a little up the middle.
All the rest is the same as yesterday.
What do you think?
