ive worn beautiful iris alone, with contrast, or with vibrant grape. i did one look with a bunch of colors:humid, star violet, dear cupcake, and i cant remember the rest. i think it’s a great shadow! can be worn alot of ways. next, i’ll try to pair it with bright future.
Those are some fantastic ideas
I’ve used gesso in the inner corner, followed by beautiful iris and then on the outer corner and crease with freshwater and a bit of plumage to darken the crease. it’s beyondd beautiful. also, it looks really nice paired up with humid on the crease.
That sounds amazing, Debora! Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful iris can be worn so many ways but the most recent look I dd was beautiful iris on the lid, Indian ink in the outer v area blended onto my crease, and vibrant grape blended on top of the Indian ink. I used vanilla as a highlight and gesso in the inner tear duct area. I used dame blush, soft and gentle MSF as a highlight, and saint Germaine lipstick with funtabulous on top.
What a fabulous idea! Thank you!
This end of the spectrum is my favorite. With Beautiful Iris, you can pair it with Nocturnell or Shadowy Lady for a monochrome effect or mix it up with shades of grey for an evening look. A summer day look, I’d use some pinks or oranges with a shot of Hepcat. I’ve also worn it with just a base, highlight with Nylon, and Plum eyeliner..and viola!
I love purples, too!
Love the look you suggested!
I’m actually using Beautiful Iris right now! I have Beautiful Iris on the lid, Yogurt as a highlight, Nocturnelle in the crease/outer V. I then took Vanilla and swept in right under the browbone (on top of Yogurt). I use a black khol liner to line upper lids — top with black mascara. I used Pink Swoon blush on apples of cheeks. For lips, I have on Blankety lipstick, Stripdown liner, and Oyster Girl lipglass (I just kinda threw together this lip look and am loving it for a pink nude lip!!).
For evening, you can smoke it out with Shadowy Lady (also mentioned in the post before mine) in the outer V — use black khol in waterline and drag Shadowy Lady under lower lashes — smudge.
Beautiful, Michelle!
I just recently got Beautiful Iris and have also used it with a taupe shadow. I used BI as a was all over and the taupe (Fresh’s Black Tea) on the outer half and smoked out. Then Signed & Sealed smudged on the lower lid as a liner and smoked out over Black Tea. Then of course black mascara.
That’s a good idea! I’m gonna have to try that!
BI on the lid, Shadowy Lady and Creme de Violet on the outer lid and crease to smoke, Shroom to highlight, UD Ransom to line the lower lashline and Graphblack technakohl on the lower waterline blended into Ransom, Plushlash mascara and Well Dressed blush. I’m tired after a big German meal so I’m not pulling out all the stops for this lookbook entry like I normally do..Sorry guys..
Aww, this is STILL a fab look you came up with!
I looove using Beautiful Iris on the entire lid paired with Satin Taupe on the outer half of the lid and taken in to the crease a little bit and 100 Strokes to darken the outer v, dragged in to the crease as well and taken under the lower lashline too. Favourite look with Beautiful Iris!
I’ve never really thought to pair it with a brown like Satin Taupe!
Mi last combination was Bright Future, Beautiful Iris and Surreal on the lid. Rave at the lash line and Vanilla under the brows. A very colourful and summery look
I love it – definitely perfect for summer!
I usually use it with BI in the inner corner, Satellite Dreams outer 2/3′s, and then Smut for liner and crease. Have also used it with the pinks in the Cool Eyes palette from Holiday 08. I’m going to try it with the other colours people have suggested, I’ve never thought of using it with Satin Taupe, Humid or Surreal. I learn something everyday here!
I must be the only person who hasn’t used it with brown, lol!
Some really nice ideas here – I hadn’t thought of using Beautiful Iris with taupe or greenish colours. I often wear Beautiful Iris with purplish shades. I really like it with Beautiful Iris on lid, UD Ransom in crease and UD Polyester Bride or Vanilla on the browbone to highlight. It also looks lovely on the lid, with Purple Haze in the crease, UD Ransom in the outer v and Vanilla to highlight.
Today, I felt like wearing it a bit differently, so I paired it with Nylon on the lid, Beautiful Iris in the crease, Shroom to highlight and some Nylon placed in the inner corners. I also put Steppin’ Out dazzleglass on the lips. I really liked how it turned out – was really nice and fresh and light with a small pop of colour.
What a great way to wear Beautiful Iris, Saira
Beautiful Iris looks beutiful with just about anything. I love to pair it with Satin Taupe, Parrot, Aquadisiac, Parfait Amour, Contrast, Top Hat, etc. The possibility is just endless.
Sounds like people LOVE this shadow!
beautiful iris w/ electric eel in crease, and carbon to deepen! must be well blended though!!! can we say gawjus?!?!?!
Definitely sounds gorgeous!!
I love Beautiful Iris…I used it twice so far!
1st time
Beautiful Iris: Inner Corner
Copper Ring: Crease
Mufe #92: Darken Crease
2nd time
Beautiful Iris: Lid
Blue/Roaring(duo):Crease
I put this on the lid with a black/gray in the crease and smoke out. Looks so good.
Nice idea, Kristen!
LOL I’ve never paired it with brown Christine. I was looking in here for ideas on ways to smoke it out, I kinda saw one idea for that in here..if I find another I’ll post it for sure.
