(LOL, gotta love it when a stray hair trails across your eyeball in a photo.) I was inspired to try a smokey eye with a bit of pinky-purple to it by the following video tutorial - her work is always...(crease) Urban Decay Asphyxia (above crease) MAC Vapour + Urban Decay Roadstripe (browbone/inner eye highlight) MAC Engraved pencil (waterline) Cover Girl Lash Blast mascara MAC Saplicious lip gelee (lips

Yeah, MAC Heritage Rouge basically =s Maroon pigment. Thank goodness I only ever buy samples. Pretty, though. I can't remember everything I used because I'm a slacker and this FOTD...highlight Urban Decay Roadstripe (inner eye) Urban Decay Asphyxia (over lower liner) Cover Girl Lash Blast MAC Saplicious lip gelee Also, http://wearenottheenemy.blogspot.com/ . Best meme ever! :-

Thought I'd keep things simple this weekend - just one color on the lid, but blended out, and I used brushes for the whole look. Still, only three eyeshadows used (lid, contour, highlight)! That's unusual...argue it already is, but come on, you know me by now) by adding more/darker top liner, some black or blackened purple to the outer lid/crease and along the waterline, and perhaps a brighter highlight

(Again, this is actually Friday's face, but the tagging game remains the same!) I didn't buy much, but I was definitely a Cult of Cherry admirer. Good theme, nice bold colors. Totally my cuppa. ...LE frenzies, not to mention the inevitable price-gouging that follows on eBay. Get a grip, people! I guess we'll see how well I contain myself when the Dame Edna collection comes out this winter.)

Here's Friday's rainy-day-inspired look. (aka, I finally got my hands on MAC Ether Mineralized Eyeshadow!) Used: MAC Studio Stick foundation NC15 NARS Desire blush Urban Decay Primer...Noir (outer lid/crease/liner) MAC Vanilla (above crease/inner eye) MAC Vapour (browbone) Jordana brown pencil + Clear Great Lash (brows) Cover Girl Lash Blast mascara MAC Ladygentle TLC Stick (lips

...MAC Sexie (which is very similar to Kirsch from the newishly released Cult of Cherry ! I really should have used a liner with that though.) It looked hot enough for a club, but photographed horribly, and I clearly have a long way to go toward finding a cateye shape that suits my eyes both open and closed. Sigh, etc. (This wasn't actually TODAY'S makeup - I wore it to a club last weekend.)

I love bright eyeliner with a neutral-ish eye. USED: MAC Studio Stick foundation, NC15 MAC Shy Beauty blush Jordana brown pencil + Clear Great Lash (brows) Urban Decay Primer Potion MAC...crease) MAC Handwritten (outer lid/crease) MAC Vanilla (browbone) Urban Decay "Speed" vintage liquid liner (top liner) MAC Teddy eye kohl (lower liner) Cover Girl Lash Blast mascara MAC Hug Me lipstic

...TLC Stick (It's funny that I tag these entries "today's makeup." This was, like, last Friday's makeup. As my recent spatter of back-to-back entries should indicate, I had a few days' worth of content saved up on my camera before I had the chance to upload anything. TODAY'S makeup is actually gunmetal liquid liner and neutral-plum lipstick. But that doesn't make for a very good picture.)

Here's the lipstick that changed the way I think about... well, OK, not so much ORANGE. Maybe coral. See, I'd had only wretched coral-lipstick experiences before. I bought this one DC'd lipstick by MAC...already. Although I'm more of an Autumn fashion fan, and complexion-wise MUCH more of a winter than a summer, I kind of liked trying out the sunnier looks this year. * COCKATEASE, if you must know.

... Rich Ground fluidline Cover Girl Lash Blast mascara Crème Sherry cremestick liner (AWESOME liner for orange-y lip shades! Summerfruit looked like baby poo on my lips) + Pink Grapefruit lipglass And, today's look, which I wore to a county fair (and HELLO, no sunburn despite sitting in the afternoon sun for hours watching a rodeo! Sorry, I consider that an accomplishment.) Used: Craploads...
