Steel Blue and Brown Look

Posted on June 22, 2011 | 4 Comments
This is a look using one of my favorite MAC Pro pigments called "Steel Blue". This deep turquoise green blue pigment has a gold undertone that shows up depending on how the light hits it. I like wearing this pigment wet, because it really makes the color more intense and brings out more of the golden tones. Read more...
Urban Decay Naked Palette Look 2

This is the second look using the Naked Palette I've been writing about lately. I wanted to come up with a bronze makeup look featuring two of the gorgeous bronze eye shadow colors in the palette -- Half Baked (bronze) and Toasted (taupe-bronze). Both of these colors are available as single eye shadows in case you want to buy them separately. I used the lightest color in the palette as highlight and one of the darker colors to create some depth on the outer V. Read more...
Urban Decay Naked Palette Look 1

This is the first makeup look I came up with using eye shadows from the Urban Decay Naked Palette. There are so many neutral looks that you can create with this palette. This look is a darker, more dramatic eye that you can wear out to dinner. I'll be posting more looks using this palette soon! If you're also a proud owner of the Naked Palette, I'd love to see what looks you come up with too (email me)! :) Read more...
Gray, Brown, and White Look

For this look, I applied a shimmery white eye shadow on my lid just below my crease and surrounded it with dark brown and gray colors. The contrast created by using light and dark colors makes this a dramatic nighttime look. I applied a bright pop of color on my lips to make them stand out. I used Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics OCC Lip Tar in "Harlot" -- it's a gorgeous vibrant cherry red with a coral undertone. Read more...
Glittery Teal and Brown Look

I've been holding onto a gorgeous MAC Pro Glitter in "Turquoise" for a couple months now, and I finally got around to using it! I put it on top of one of my favorite Inglot eye shadow colors -- a matte teal ("372"). The glitter sparkles so much more than these pictures show! If you don't have this MAC Pro glitter, any cosmetic grade turquoise glitter will do! Read more...
