The one thing I really noticed about the makeup in this photo is the shape flows with her eyebrows (if that makes sense). Because I couldn't find my glue stick to cover that part of my brows so yes, I badly photoshopped them ;) I hope you don't mind!

And a bonus webcam pic!

One of the reasons I really wanted to try this face chart is that it breaks a couple standard beauty "rules"- don't draw attention to two parts of the face and don't bring your eyeshadow straight up to your eyebrows.

For some last minute Christmas shopping with friends Christmas Eve :) I wanted something really quick but still festive so I pulled out my MAC Classic Cream liner- a pale creamy gold shimmer.

I also wanted to use MAC My Highland Honey blush that I had newly acquired. I picked it up on a trip to NYC the weekend before Christmas in the huge Macy's using a gift card that I got for my birthday. I might be cheesy but I'll always remember those things when I use it! I had such a hard time deciding what to get but once I spotted it I knew I had to have it. If you haven't seen it check out Temptalia's swatches- it's a weird gold almost yellow peach.

*I decided to give these another try despite harsh memories of greasy mess all over my lids from the first time I used on back when I was what? 16? I have to say I was happier with this than I thought I would be.

It doesn't have as harsh a tingling cooling effect as I remember and it managed to not crease after a couple of hours wear without a base when I tested it- so I was pretty impressed. I wore it as a base color to amplify my black shadow. When I got home 10 hours later from my errands and looked in the mirror it hadn't creased. It had however bled above the crease (and by bled I mean like when pencil liner does this and creates a weird arch over your crease, I've been trying to think of an easier way to explain this- do you gals know what I mean?) but it was easy to smudge with just light strokes of my fingertip to blend it. I'll fill you in as I test these more but I just wanted to put my thought on them down!

I was asked by a friend to do makeup for her and a few other people and two of the costumes were a devil and gypsy. I decided to play around and do a "practice" run and this is what I came up with.

Devil...

She suggested flames but I find things like that hard to work into something flattering so I took the idea and played with it. When I did her actual makeup I brought the point up to almost her brow and a little bit sharper. I also added red glitter lightly to the outer corner. And false lashes of course! For this I used my Manly 120 palette.

Gypsy...

I went with a simple smoky eye and for that extra Halloween glam I added some holo glitter. And once again, of course fake lashes! For this I used some Fyrinnae shades and the glitter is from Fantasy Makers.

For a night out I decided I wanted a smoky eye but with a pop of color. While my hair is blonde for the moment (with a little bit of pink here and there) I am taking advantage of my ability to wear pink without clashing.

Products used:

Urban Decay Primer Potion

MAC Bright Fuchsia pigment (brighter pink)

From L-R and Top to Bottom- Danse Macabre (vibrant grass green with gold shimmer -free sample), Calavera Cupcakes (silver-purple), Eternal Innocence (peacock teal-green), La Noche and (deep yet bright midnight blue) Catrina Cabaret (dusty teal with purple shimmer)

I am blown away by how gorgeous these are. Such vibrant colors! I have a lot of Fyrinnae shadows but these have potential to become favorites (I'm looking at you La Noche and Calvera Cupcakes). And look below at the cute little sugar skulls on the labels, it's the little things that make me happy and this is one of them.
