Green Glitter Wings

The idea for this design came to me while I was brushing my teeth - I was wondering, how can I bring bright green, neon orange AND glitter together in one look without it becoming hopelessly loud and garish? And this is my solution:







My first step was to draw the liner on so I knew where I had to place each colour. I applied Kelly Green pigment on my lid and the added some Golder's Green right in the middle and above the crease to give the green some dimension. Then I mixed the glitters with MAC Mixing Medium eyeliner and placed them with a tiny brush in between the black lines, as well as the Neon Orange. After that, I added another layer of liner on top so the lines because clearer. Then I glued on the p2 falsies (aren't they fabulous?? I wish I had bought some more pairs...) and added some more Golder's Green and black liner to the lower lid.

Tropical Seashore

This look is meant to resemble the tropical sea, with small waves of sparkling turquoise rolling onto a beach of golden sand... Can you tell I'm up for a vacation :D? I used Pure Luxe Seashore all around my top lid, leaving the mid-lid bare. Then I applied Awakening in the middle and blended the two together. Finally, Dream On was used to deepen the outer corners a little, and Vanilla (the eyeshadow, not the pigment) is the browbone highlighter.

Black Ice

My version of a simple but glittery smokey eye! The colours used to create the "icy" surface is "Black Ice" by Pure Luxe (from the Flash Cubes line, http://pureluxecosmetics.com/page17.html) . This glitter has very tiny particles, compared to regular MAC glitters. I used Carbon all over the lid first, then mixed Black Ice with MAC's Mixing Medium Eyeliner and patted it on top with #242 brush. Then I used Pure Luxe Innocent, a very pale iridescent pink all the way up to my browbone and blended it into Carbon's upper rim. Finally I glued the pink rhinestones by Misslyn onto my skin using Duo eyelash glue to match the pink highlights I was wearing.

I know it's way too warm for me - it looked so much better on my hand, but my skin made Blonde's Gold go a rather orangey kind of gold :/...

And I'm so sorry but I can't remeber what I used on my lips for the life of me :(
