Here’s a quick look for fall that I put together to go out to dinner with my parents and boyfriend (for my birthday). It’s pretty simple, and surprisingly, I used all permanent products (without trying–that’s an accomplishment!). :) Hope your Wednesday is off to a fantastic start! Halfway through the week — yay!
You will need the following…
- Eyes: Soft Ochre paint pot (neutral beige base), Melon pigment (peachy-pink), Gleam eyeshadow (peachy-pink), Cranberry eyeshadow (berry-wine), Fig. 1 eyeshadow (eggplant), Graphology eyeshadow (deep purple-black), Ricepaper eyeshadow (highlighter), Smolder eye kohl (black), Urban Decay El Dorado 24/7 Liner (gold), Zoom Fast Lash mascara (black)
- Cheeks: Plum Foolery blush (berry)
- Lips: Guerlain Gracia Lipstick (muted berry), Chanel Spark glossimer (coppery berry)
- Brushes: 266 (firm, angled brush), 226 (fluffy crease brush), 219 (pointed crease brush), 214 (smudge brush), 249 (flat, firm brush), 239 (fluffy shadow brush), 129 (dense blush brush)
- Substitutes: N/A
Directions: Define brows using a coordinating powder shadow applied with the 266 brush. Apply Soft Ochre paint pot all over the lid as the base with the 249. With the 239, apply Melon pigment with water-based mixing medium on the lower lid. On the inner lid, pack Gleam eyeshadow on using the 239. Apply Cranberry eyeshadow to the outer portions of the lid. Darken crease with Fig. 1 eyeshadow using the 226, then deepen with Graphology eyeshadow with the 219. Sweep Ricepaper eyeshadow underneath the brow bone to highlight. Finish with Urban Decay El Dorado Liner on lower lash line, and Smolder eye kohl on the lower waterline using the 209. Apply Zoom Fast Lash mascara on lashes. Sweep apples of cheeks with Plum Foolery blush using the 129. Apply Guerlain Gracia lipstick to lips, and then top with Chanel Spark glossimer for color and shine.

Mayaline

Beautiful eye make up. Is Eldorado similar to Honey?
Christine
Friday, October 2, 2009
Thanks, Mayaline! They’re similar, but Eldorado is more of a true gold — brighter.

ali

You look so pretty, and the eyes are elegant and luminous. Elegant yet simple. You could’ve gone for a lighter or darker lip and still would’ve looked great.
Christine
Friday, October 2, 2009
Thank you so much, Ali! :)
It’s definitely a nice look that can work with either a light or dark lip! (Which is rare!)
Dee
Wednesday, September 30, 2009
That eye is one of the more uniquely beautiful things I’ve seen. I don’t know that you’ve done any looks like this before, and I love it.
Christine
Friday, October 2, 2009
Oh, wow! Thank you so much, Dee!
Christy
Wednesday, September 30, 2009
Great look. I think I’ll need to pick up Cranberry & Graphology now.
Christine
Friday, October 2, 2009
Thanks, Christy! They’re both FANTASTIC shades.
JoElla
Wednesday, September 30, 2009
I doubt any of you are are old enough to remember Ultima Make up.. but they had a beautiful peach/purple combo eye shadow that I still mourn and lust after.
This look is the closest thing I have seen since they went out of business and trust me I have been looking for YEARS! Thank you thank you thank you!!
Raven
Thursday, October 1, 2009
Im 31!! I remember them as a kid!! They had Black packaging and I was always draw to their counters as a kid!! Was it like Ultima 2 or something like that???
Christine
Friday, October 2, 2009
Awwwwwwwww!
I hope it IS what you’ve been looking for!!

Ooh! LOVES IT, Christine! Another pretty look. & Thank you so much because I’ve been wanting to snag Cranberry e/s, but have been hesitant because I had no clue how to use it. But this look, I’m hoping to try once I get that e/s. [:

Wednesday, September 30, 2009
So pretty! I *need* to get that El Dorado liner . . . Honey is too cool for me, but I wish that they offered El Dorado in a full size without the set. Guess I’ll just have to order all of the 24/7 sets this holiday :)
Christine
Friday, October 2, 2009
Thanks so much, Hyzenthlay! :) I hope they come out with the new shades in full size in Spring or something!

Michelle
Wednesday, September 30, 2009
The color combination is really beautiful and it flatters you tremendously! I also love that you haven’t taken your crease color up as far as you normally do… it really compliments your beautiful eyes!
Christine
Friday, October 2, 2009
Thank you so much, Michelle! :)
Tatiana

This is such a stunning look for fall. I wouldn’t have thought to pair peach and purple but they look great together. Great job Christine!
Christine
Friday, October 2, 2009
Thanks! It turned out to be a surprisingly good combo!
Chiara
Thursday, October 1, 2009
So pretty, I love this look! For the lips, maybe the lipgloss made the lipstick sort of melt, it has happened to me sometimes.
Christine
Friday, October 2, 2009
Thanks so much, Chiara!
That might be it. I wasn’t pleased, LOL.
laura
Thursday, October 1, 2009

Christine
Friday, October 2, 2009
Thanks, Rachael! :)
Almost black.
Thursday, October 1, 2009
I really love your looks but I really think you should consider another mascara because this one makes your eye lashes look really poor unfortunately :(
Otherwise – look is really beautiful! :)
Christine
Friday, October 2, 2009
Thanks for the tip! This is the first time I’ve used this mascara!
Shweta
Thursday, October 1, 2009
Christine, Your eyes look absolutely fantastic….I am trying this now!! :)

whilst trying to recreate this (huge compliment because even though ive seen hundreds of tutorials this is the only one that has ever inspired me enough to recreate it)i realized it works pretty well with the stila charmed palette! not exact, but its the same concept and better than having to go out and buy all those mac colors

Gorgeous, Lulee!! I love that you were able to dupe it and put your own twist on it!
Laura
Sunday, October 4, 2009
This look makes me even more excited about getting my 24.7 super stash for x-mas. Also it looks like Graphology may have been discontinued because i cannot seem to find it on mac’s website. So i was wondering if u knew of a good dupe? Thanks
Christine
Monday, October 5, 2009
You’ll love it!! :)
I don’t have a good dupe for it, but it’s this dark purple that’s not quite black, but very dark. You could probably just lightly dab a black shadow in to replace it!
Brenda
Sunday, October 11, 2009
EEPS!!!!! This is gorgeous!!!! I’ve been out of commission with my internet so i’m just catching up on the last 3 months, and THIS is BEAUTIFUL!! One of your best looks so far, IMO. I will be trying this out on myself (NC20) so hopefully it doesn’t look clownish on me!!
Christine
Monday, October 26, 2009
Thank you so much, Brenda!! :)
