Busy day today! I came across a quote tonight by Aaron de Mey, the new Lancome creative director:
"Surprise is everything I’m about. My objective in life is to create surprise."
I thought that was great! I think it's how I operate. I always look to the new when it come to makeup. I hope you can see how much fun I have with it! If you can't have fun with makeup, when can you have fun! And at least you can't say I'm boring!
The surprise for me is that I can wear reds on my eyes. I wanted to try this color ever since I saw it on someone else online. And while I think of reds as more of a fall look, the surprise is that I can carry them off at any time. And I likely will.
I received a great compliment tonight -- and trust me, I don't look as good as I did when I took these pictures fresh in the morning, because the shadow has gone into the crease a bit. And I had no lipstick on, although I've tried about 4 different color combos, all great, but I didn't take any pictures. A SA told me I looked young, my skin was great, how old was I anyway? (I hope she comes to my blog.)
I had fun with these eyes. Book Girl's first words were, "I love that copper on your eyes."
These pictures really shows the copper:
Eyes: all Fyrinnae except where noted
Base: Nude Frost
Crease and outer lids: Dark Magik, deep coppery red
Inner lids: Forbidden lover, golden purply red
Lower line: Optimism, bright light purple with silver
Lined lower: MK purple pencil -- I really wanted to use my Clarins, but refrained -- I can't get it any more!
Brows: MK pencil
Mascara: Too Faced, bright blue, hard brush to use
Loved the lippie:
Too Faced: Trust Fund Baby on whole lip + Fire, to rim with
Finished look:
Primer: AL (because it is a mineral line)
Foundation: Lancome mineral 20 + 30 as bronzer (10 is really my color)
Topped with: my sparkly mix
Blush: Lancome Rose Sable
What do you think?
