First photo blog! Sunset-inspired eyes

This is the look I have been wanting to play with for months. Below is my first attempt:

I'm sorry that my cell camera takes such yellow-y photos with the flash. Still, this does not belie how much my eyelid looks like a healing bruise. My brushes were dirty and I didn't prime my lids before hand.


I was MUCH happier with this attempt. I started with the pale blue cream shadow from NARS Duo Unconditional Love - a pretty dense coat of it from lash to brow bone. Then I pressed Make Up For Ever #71 Sunflower over my whole lid. In the top center of my lids and up into the crease, I pressed MUFE #18 Tangerine. In the outer corners, I used MUFE #92 Purple and under my eyebrows I used MUFE #134 Pearly Pale Pink (an iridescent pink). I lined my upper lids with MUFE Aqua Liner in #8 Iridescent Electric Purple and used L'oreal Paris Voluminous Million Lashes in Ultra Black for mascara (waterproof).

The picture below is after 10 hours of wearing this look. There was some slight creasing throughout the day, but a couple of gentle pats with my finger took care of that.
