fotd: barbie girl;

Another "Face of the Day", another colour I never thought I'd use.  As with my last fotd, I made it my mission to use some colours from my make-up collection that I wouldn't usually reach for.  Today's choice: pink, inspired by the pot of Birthday Girl (a gorgeous barbie-pink with fuchsia glitters) by Sugarpill I spied in my eyeshadow drawer.  So glad I finally plucked up the courage to use it!

To achieve this eye look, I used:

- Mayebelline Eye Studio Colour Tattoo 24hr in Pink Gold as a base.

- Pink Opal by MAC in the inner corner and as a brow highlight.

- Birthday Girl by Sugarpill all over the lid and blended up.

- Laced by Urban Decay to blend the lid colour and highlight together.

- Muse by Urban Decay in the crease and along the lower lashline.

On my lips, I used S&G's Sexy Mother Pucker in Pink Apricot, one of my favourite glosses.

I hope you like this look as much as I do!  Thanks for reading!

fotd: green eyes and amethyst;

In keeping with my resolution to introduce more colour into my life, here's my first ever "Face of the Day" post, featuring green eyes and purple eye make-up!  This eye look was created using the Urban Decay Vice palette; - Anonymous (cream/almond, matte finish) on the inner corner and brow bone. - Laced (taupe, matte finish) all over the lid and blended up to the brow bone. - Vice (deep purple, frost/duochrome finish) all over the lid, into the crease. - Muse (deep, earthy brown, shimmer finish) in the crease, and along the lower lashline. - Provocateur (mauve, metallic finish with heavy glitter) applied using a damp brush to the centre of the lid. My circle lenses are the GEO Angel Green lenses (14mm and super comfy!), which I bought from Sweet Soul Shop. On my lips, I'm wearing Up The Amp from MAC, with a dot of Soap & Glory's Sexy Mother Pucker in Candy Gloss in the middle. This look is completely different from what I'd usually wear, but I think/hope I still managed to keep it wearable.  I've never been drawn to purple as a colour, but I'm quite pleased with how this turned out.  I hope you like it too!
