NARS Look:  Rajasthan Eyeshadow Duo

I actually really LOVED how everything came together.  I loved how the eyeshadows looked layered over the bright teal base.  I also loved the way the glitter flecks in Palladium came through in a very subtle way.  Everything was fabulous until about fifteen...

Oh, man, that name is cheesy.  I gotta tell you:  coming up with "names" for looks can be a challenge.  If only "Blue and Violet" were creative, because I can do that no problem. :)

Fun Makeup:  Clear Sky Blue

Sometimes it can be fun just to experiment with your makeup, and you know when is a really good time to do it? Before you're going to go to bed! After I finished photographing Urban Decay's Naked Palette, I really wanted to do something using Gunmetal, but I wanted it to be...

A Tale of Two Eyeshadows... Stream of Consciousness

MAC Dare to Wear Look:  Aqua, Winkle, & Atlantic Blue

MAC Dare to Wear may be eons away (okay, a couple of months), but given the amount of repromotes/permanent shades in the collection, I got a little inspired to create a look out of the ones I do already own. I went with a shimmery highlighter,...
