FOTD Meow AL

I started with the lippie I wanted to swatch, then had the hardest time thinking what direction I wanted to go in. Then I remembered I had wanted to try Beau Nelson’s lip technique, and I had used a different gloss than I had thought of originally. That will be later today Too Faced — and more pix. And I hadn’t chosen my T yet.

I don’t think I was in a light pink mode. After all that angst, I think it turned out nicely. I think it came together. What do you think?

Eyes:
Base: Dior light pink cream in wand; then my sparkly mix
Lid: Cat got your tongue? Meow IdealEyes Purrl — light pink
Brows: La Prairie pencil

What direction to go in?
I knew I didn’t want to do blue or teal or green — but what?
Ah, grey with pink would likely be nice. But I hadn’t sampled any greys from Meow. My BE greys are very dark, which would have worked too, and I might do it later over the lighter. So I went to AL and chose a light one.
Crease and outer corners: AL Avalon rocks! sonic eyes
Very light grey; almost no contrast with the pink, but enough.

Lined upper: Mary Kay Steely pencil (dark grey)
Lined lower: MAC graphblack in waterline, then earthline outside it — whoa! dark and too piecy looking…had to soften for it to fit — and also deepen the shadow shades by:
Lined upper and lower: AL evilwoman rocks! glam glitter, deeper sparkly grey
Lined just outside the lower, very carefully with more of the Meow to bring the pink around
Mascara: BE Buxom Black

Primer: Guerlain Meteorites
Foundation: Guerlain
Concealer: Mary Kay Highlighting Pen Color 2
Color under my sparkly powder mix: Mary Kay cream rouge
Blush over the powder: Meow Lush Blush Hugs and Kitties — I thought this would hardly show, but it was perfect. First time I tried the sample.

I might do a Take 2 later today with other colors. Hope you enjoyed this one!
