'Winter Orchid' Look

'Winter Orchid' Look

I felt like going a bit overboard today just because.... : )....so I went with a defined crease and a multitude of colors. I also used the lovely MAC Underccurrent Pearlglide Eye Liner Pencil that was recently re-promoted with MAC A Tartan Tale Collection and let me just say I LOVE this eyeliner. I know people rave about the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencils but they have nothing on MAC Pearliglide Eye Liner Pencils.  I also did a little different thing with the post (as requested by a reader)....I added the brushes I used. This is not always easy for the eye because I tend to switch back and forth with brushes during application.
