Look: Maybelline Green with Envy Quickie

From several readers' comments, it sounded like there was trouble using this quad, but I didn't seem to share a lot of the concerns readers had. When I originally tested it, I just did one eye (the other eye was something else...), so I figured I'd at least do...

Bright Makeup: Lotsa Teals

Here's a quick look I did using two of the new Benefit eyeshadows, plus one of Urban Decay's new Stardust eyeshadows (to be reviewed in full later). Really loving the way Dolce & Gabbana Nude Blush looks, though. Pain in the behind to photograph a swatch of it, but boy is it...

Spring Makeup: Gold, Green, & Teal with Urban Decay Alice in Wonderland Palette

I love the lips for this look.  It's my new favorite lip combo, and as soon as I slipped on Le Metier de Beaute Apricot Creme, I completely remember why I shelled out $36 for it.  In fact, I think I'm going to place an...

Spring Makeup: The Fresh Bloom of Spring with Purple, Green, & Blue

One of the most important things to do when doing a look with distinct colors is to be careful not to over-blend, which is really easy, because most of us put our noses to the mirror when we're checking to make sure we did a good...

Colorful Makeup: Green, Teal, & Blue

Colorful Makeup:  Green, Teal, & Blue

I envisioned a green, teal, and blue combination, and I really went from there for this look. I'm also trying to work on using permanent or recently released products in my looks, so, even though it was unplanned and totally coincidental, this look is very much...

Holiday Makeup: Gold & Greens

Holiday Makeup: Gold & Greens

Hey, Ma! I did a look! So it's been a couple of weeks since the Lady Gaga inspired look which totally wreaked havoc on my eyes, but my eyes seem to be recovered now. (They were swollen for a few days, and then they proceeded to just be itchy/red and consequently dry and flaky afterward. You know,...

Look: Tropical Green & Teal with Blue Sorcery Mineralize Eyeshadow

No matter what I try or how many times I try it, mineralize eyeshadows and I just don't get along. They frustrate me, and using one means I'm adding (wasting) another 15-20 minutes to my makeup routine that really feels unnecessary. I guess it is just not meant to be! I just find that they're...

Look: Stila All Doll'd Up Palette Blue, Green, & Teal Eyes

Here's a look using the Stila All Doll'd Up Palette that I reviewed and LOVED so much. :)

What's on the agenda for today? I'm about two minutes away from being late for leaving for my morning classes (one on federal taxation and another on cyberspace), aka I better get my butt MOVING! How's your...

Look: MAC Photorealism Eyeshadow Quad Made Easy

Here's an attempt at using MAC's Photorealism eyeshadow quad :) The photos are a little wonky, because silly me forgot to change the white balance settings before taking these photos, SO I had to muck around with them (to get the right color) in Photoshop. I think they're *fairly* accurate, but...
