Looks - Black Ore Solar Bits Overlayed with Blues

I had all these expectations for this look, but it didn’t quite turn out how I expected it to! I actually wasn’t feeling it, so I ended up removing the eye makeup and doing something else, lol. Have you ever done that? I always think, “What a waste [of makeup]!”

I used Black Ore solar bits (LE) on lid, Gorgeous Gold eyeshadow on inner lid, Stars ‘n Rockets eyeshadow on middle of lid, Shimmermoss eyeshadow on outer lid, Freshwater eyeshadow on outer lid, Electric Eel eyeshadow on outer lid, Deep Truth eyeshadow on outer crease, Gorgeous Gold eyeshadow on inner crease, Femme-fi eyeshadow (LE) on brow and above crease, Graphblack technakohl on lower lash line, and Plushlash mascara on lashes. I had Lilicent blushcreme with Sunbasque blush on cheeks. I wore Tiger Tiger lipstick (LE) with Supreme lipglass (LE) on my lips.

** These are recommendations for dupes based on permanent colors available — may not necessarily be identical; they are the closest I can think of!

Black Ore = Dark Soul + Golden Lemon; Femme-fi = Shroom; Tiger Tiger = Brew; Supreme = Chai

OMG that was really really pretty!! I too hate when something doesn’t go how I expect and it becomes a waste, but I hardly think this look was a waste!!

Hey Christine! I think this is a pretty look, but I kind of understand what you mean. I think that you could have created this look without the Black Ore Solar Bits. It’s a nice look nonetheless, though!

This looks beautiful. Geeze, you’re so talented.
I feel you when a look doesn’t come out the way you want it to. It’s annoying and a waste. great job!

I can’t believe you didn’t quite like this look, I think it’s awesome!!!! Love, love, love it! I’d say it’s damn near perfect =) *at least for my taste*

Christine Avatar

Hey Claudia! Thanks so much 🙂 I don’t know what it was, but I just expected more OOMPH! – maybe more shimmer, brightness to the colors? I’m not usually thrown by a look SO much so that I take it off right away, lol. Even if I’m just so-so about it, I’m like eh! whatever!

This is freakin HOT, Christine!

So, I’m gonna return that RED top. Remember I wanted to wear it for my birthday? I kinda hate it. Now, I’m open to whatever look!
LOL

I really like the placement of the blue and gold in this look. I was really surprised to see you used Stars ‘n Rockets in this- I wouldn’t have known, but I can see a little glimmer of it in the full pic of you looking down.
It really is beautiful!!!

Ack! This is BEAUTIFUL! I can’t believe you didn’t really like it! 😛 I love the placement of the colours as well as the combination of colours. Really awesome job, Christine. Even if you didn’t dig it, we all did! So it wasn’t a waste. 😉 But I know what you mean. I feel the same way when I do a look and it doesn’t turn out and I have to just take it off. Haha. MAC isn’t exactly cheap and a good thing to be wasting. 😛

Brittany Avatar

Omg this is soo gorgeous!!! I really really want to get Black ore solar bits! It may be my first mac purchase 🙂 At least I hope so, I just need money first!

Stephanie Avatar

Christine,

You are way talented and it is an awesome look. But I think I get what you mean by you thought you would get more OOMPH! Like the colors you used would pop but in the end the Black ore solar bits were just a little too overpowering to really showcase the other colors. But you try which is totally cool and I know it inspires me. Thanks for showing the look!

This looks amazing, like it took hours!!! I’m loving it! I was wondering if there’s any way you can do a tut on this look? I noticed you used several colors on the outer lid and I’m just wanting to get a visual of it. Keep on rockin’!!!!

Bettina Avatar

I think it’s beautiful..very sparkley. I’d almost say it might be fun to wear something like that to a club. I agree about that black ore looking great with reds or maybe even some sort of brighter purple. I don’t think you can still get black ore these days or I would stick it on my list.
