Looks – Oh, So Simple! Two shadows — Ricepaper and Espresso

Date: Monday, February 25th, 2008 Author:

It’s too bad the pictures didn’t do this justice, because it DID come out really nice in person. Just really subtle and softly smoky.  I wanted something super quick and simple, but I wanted something that was noticeable.

I used Ricepaper eyeshadow all over lid, Espresso eyeshadow in outer crease and corner of lid, and Ricepaper eyeshadow above crease. I wore Margin blush on cheeks with Sculpt sculpting powder to contour. I had Gentle Coral tinted lip conditioner on my lips.

      Thanks! Ricepaper is one of my favorite lid colors just to “wake up” the eyes a touch, and I thought I’d try some Espresso in it (which I use in my brows). It turned into a pretty shade of gray-brown.

    How pretty! I always use Shroom and Charcoal Brown and Patina for this look, but I gotta get into more looks with Ricepaper. It looks a lot more yellow on me, I think.

    Pretty!…I’m going to try Ricepaper with Charcoal Brown. I did a simple look today too…Charcoal Brown, Tempting, and Gingersoft. I’ll send pics if I remember :) Maybe it’s a browns day!

    You look beautiful as always. I still can’t get over how perfect you always look. Not fair.

    I’m just curious… what are your thoughts on the N collection? Also, could you post an updated collections post? Your last one was from Sept 2007. Just curious… hopefully not being annoying.

    Keep being beautiful!

      Thanks, Anna! Awww, I hardly think that’s me, but I appreciate the compliment :)

      I did like the N Collection, just because I felt like it was a surprisingly nice line of nudes that were both unique and easy to use.

      I’ll try to get an update going sometime, maybe early March when I’m on spring break!

    I did this look yesterday only I wanted less shading, so I used Patina with Ricepaper and then I winged some black liner out. I was stunning, if I do say so myself. ;)
