I don’t have any information at this time, sorry!
It’s not a go-to but one of my favorite eye/lip combinations is murky greens (R&R Chronic, Envy) with Revlon Color Burst lipstick in Peach, usually topped with R&R Lipgloss in Muse, aerie lipgloss in Poppy, or Revlon Color Burst lipgloss in Sunset Peach.
Yay! My q!! Thanks Christine!!! X
Macs dark diversion fluidline all over the lid with gaga lipstic (the pink gaga)
Lately, I’ve really been enjoying wearing NARS “MayFlower” Lipstick from the Summer 2011 Collection. I often pair it with Urban Decay’s “Shattered.” I guess, the light pink lip and the shimmering Summer time blue eyeshadow make me feel like a glamorous Barbie or something…haha
Bobbi Brown shimmer wash eyeshadow in Stone & MAC lipstick in Creme d’nude
mac amber lights w/ saddle in my crease + any lip!
Urban Decay Half Baked and Smog with MAC Viva Glam Gaga 2! It’s dramatic neutrals, and I love it for evening!
My absolute favorite combination ever is putting star violet, soft brown and fig 1 on my eyes and having ever hip on my lips.
Goodness, MAC’s “Star Violet” is like in my top 5 all time favorite eyeshadow colors!! It’s so easy to use and works with almost anything. That’s one color I always like to have an extra one of!!
Mac Melon pigment with black liner, and Freckletone lipstick by Mac. There have been many mornings I’ve swiped that on and ran out the door.
These are all from mac but I get so many compliments! Woodwinked on the lid, bronze on the crease and gold dusk as a highlight. For the lips I’ve been loving playing koi ever since it came out!
A green smokey eye, with mac’s moss scape paint pot as a base, and a brown lipstick – my favourite is mac’s creme cerise, but it was LE.
I really like NYX’s Dune eyeshadow trio with Revlon’s Silver City Pink
Funny, I don’t think I have done an eye look with a lip color in tandem with purpose. More I will do my eyes with the deed of the day in mind (none, natural to a bit more vampy smoked out). I really am picky on lipsticks and tend to have 2 that I will reach for (when not wearing balm only)One is always a nude shade, and the other will run from coral to pink to mauve. I match the lips up more to how I feel, or what color clothing I have on.
lol I knew what your answer would be as soon as I was done reading the question!
2 of them – MAC Vex or Aquavert + Lord & Berry forest green on eyes with MAC Marquis D’ lip.
Or MAC Crystal and Glamora Castle on eyes, MAC Syrup on lips
I really like pairing green eyes with a peachy neutral lip, such as the Bourjois smoky eyes trio in Vert Trendy with MAC Cut a Caper lipstick and NARS Giza lip gloss on top. I also like pairing a pewter smoky eye with a medium to light pink lip, such as MUFE aqua cream #2 with Viva Glam Gaga #1.
MAC Ricepaper all over lid + inner corner highlight, Mulch outer 2/3 of lid, Woodwinked in the crease to deepen, then swipe on a peachy/coral lip like MAC Cut A Caper, NARS Barbarella, or Revlon Sunset Peach lip gloss (thought about this a lot! lol)
my favorites eyeshadow combinations are:
– white jeanius all over lid, texture on the crease and either of the 3 contrast, plumage and sketch with blacktrack fluidline.
-blackberry on the lid and texture on the crease with blacktrack fluidline.
-orb on lid, soba on crease and blacktie on outer v and a black eyeliner or blacktrack
lips:
-stripdown lipliner, angel then myth on top
-whirl lipliner, ravishing and lady gaga 2 lipglaass
-pretty please and freckletone
-viva glam II (not the gaga 1) with bare necessities
Urbdan Decay X (now using MAC’s Tweet Me same shade really) on the main lid MAC Wegde in the crease and MAC Blanc Type on the brow bone. I might add MAC Goldmine in the inner corner.
Every Hip or Hibiscus on the lips.
From the MAC WONDER WOMAN collection, smoky eyes with the Lady Justice eyeshadow palette and then for lipstick I use Marquis’d also from the same range. Though if I want something a little glossier on the lips I use the Bubbletea Plushglass from the Quite Cute collection. Dark blue eyes and nude beige lips.
Urban Decay’s Ransom Deluxe Eyeshadow and their Gash Lipstick is beaitiful together! It’s more of a night time look and it is sorta dramatic but it’s beautiful. Very Dita Von Tesse-esque
M.A.C. Tempting (with eyeliner and lashes) and M.A.C. Snob
Wet & Wild Vanity Palette + MUFE lipstick #36
