'Fruity Pebbles' Look

'Fruity Pebbles' Look

Today I had some extra time to play with so I did a cut crease (yep instead of going to work early...for shame). Again I used my version of the cut-crease technique rather than the widely used pencil method.

I am also testing out a couple of new things before I form an opinion so if you see something new pop up don't assume I like it yet. I'm taking them for a ride before I say anything about them.

To blend the crease color I used MUFE Fuchsia #26 Eyeshadow (vibrant matte pink).

For my highlight I used the Light Beige color from the Wet 'n' Wild Vanity Palette.

'Violet Mustard' Look

'Violet Mustard' Look

So I'm trying to get back into the swing of makeup and I'm not quite sure how I feel about this look just yet. I love the mustard pigment from MUFE and I'm happy I found a suitable dupe for the long-gone and long-sought after Mustard Pigment from MAC but the combo leaves me with a not so fond feeling. Anywho onwards...

I'm quite sure that there was something evil in my eye or maybe I was winking? Ehem! IDK!

'Iced Mandarin' Look

'Iced Mandarin' Look

Hmmmm...again I don't know where I was going with this. I was going through my list of top eyeshadows and saw some of my faves laying neglected so I tossed them together in this look. I also realized that I need to start contouring my nose because it looks awfully huge in pictures with full blast flash in my face (where is my lighting director??). And some silly client has me on the verge of cursing her out. How's your week going so far?
