EOTD: blackened violet and green
Thursday, March 17, 2011
Get the look…
To form the base of this look, I used FaceFront Nylon Garden (gold-green) and Shadow Keeper (blackened violet) Artistic Pigments, foiled with no base. Then, to add depth to the corner, I added theBalm Jealous Jordana (blackened green) to the outer corner and blended well.
I wanted a bit more green in the look, so I used a 217 to add a touch of MAC Humid (brighter medium green) to the outer corner, and took it along the outer half of the lower lashline with a dry angled eyeliner brush. (The inner corner is Shadow Keeper, again.)
To finish off the eye, I added MAC Vanilla (pigment, not shadow) to hilight, smudged L’Oreal’s Black HiP Creme Liner along the waterline, and drew a thin line with Marcelle Very Black Liquid Eyeliner Pen along the top lashline before adding falsies.
Finish off the look with…
Doesn’t exactly say “spring,” does it? Oh well, I love it anyways :P
P.S. I really didn’t love how the falsies looked in the looking-down shot, so umm… lots of liberal photoshopping. I hope you can forgive me!

Absolutely stunning. And regarding Photoshop, who cares? I'm all for making eye shots look neater. t looks fantastic! :)

Why thank you, darlin' ^^
I almost always photoshop our photos, but I feel the need to re-mention it when it comes to falsies (esp. when we mention which ones they are)! I'd hate for someone to pick up a pair because of the photos & then be disappointed with them :s
so, so, so pretty!
as for photoshop, i can appreciate the "disclaimer." i also sometimes wish i had photoshop so i could clean up my looks :).

Ty! & I don't know if I'd recommend getting photoshop, though… it's such a slippery slope :p
Ooh it looks so elegant and amazing, wow. I wish I had better blending skills T.T About the photoshop, thank you for mentioning. It looks perfect! You know, sometimes when I see a badly done one like Burberry ads with Emma Watson (love her btw), I honestly think they should work with you.
Aww, thank you lovely! You're too kind ^^
(No, really, you're way too kind. There is no way I deserve such praise!)
But it's the truth! =/
