Calypso Minerals

For this look I used Calypso Minerals in Blossom, Breaking Down, Whatever, and Fantasia

Contest Entry: A-Team

This was a look I did for xsparkage's contest based on fav childhood tv shows. I chose the A-Team, and did red and black for the cool ass van, with gold for Mr. T's chains. Man, I loved Mr. T. I used MAC and Calypso Minerals for this look.

Scorpions: Deadly Sting: The Mercury Years Inspired Look

This look was inspired by the cover art on one of the best albums ever compiled: Scorpions Deadly Sting: The Mercury Years. I used UDPP, and Urban Decay Lust smudged all over my lower lid. I used Calypso Minerals rainbow stack purple on my lower lid, and my TC2 orange pigment in my crease and halfway up to my browbone. I used Coastal Scents matte palette bright blue in the corner.

A Little Lavender

For this I used the white purple duochrome in my Hard Candy Techno quad, along with Calypso Minerals Twilight on my lower lid. I then used a combo of Calypso Minerals and my Coastal Scents matte palette for the colors on my upper lid and crease. Black eyeliner and mascara of course.

Disturbed:Down With the Sickness Inspired Look

This look was inspired my another one of my fav bands, which I was lucky enough to see live maybe 7 or 8 times in Phoenix. Oh waah ahh ahh ahh! I used Calypso Minerals and the white green from my Mental Hard Candy quad.

Mean Neon Green

I looove this look. I'm sure you've figured out by now that I love all shades of green, but this takes the cake! I used Kryolan neon green as a base for this, and Calypso Minerals on top of that.

Lemon Lime

The title pretty much speaks for this look. I used the two shades of green in my Calypso Minerals rainbow stack. I love green eyeshadow, it really makes my blue eyes pop.

Static X:Wisconsin Death Trip Inspired Look

This look was inspired by the album cover for Static X's debut album; Wisconsin Death Trip. This was one of my fav bands in the 90's, and I saw them live over a dozen times. Phoenix has a great music scene. I used the MAC trio Danger Zone from the Red She Said collection for the black and silver, as well as laying down a base shade of red. For that amazing bright matte red, however, I used Calypso Minerals Velvet, again from the rainbow stack. I thought this was a really cool and industrial look, kind of hardcore, and fitting nicely not only with the album cover, but the music on the album as well. It's one of my favs, they're best album in my opinion. I will be doing more looks inspired by my fav bands.

Orange Crush

Orange is a great color for blue eyes, it really makes them pop! I used an awesome orange pigment from a company called TC2 for my lid. I have no idea if they're in business still, I got a few pigments in a bargain bin at the mall a few years back, and it's one of those. The lighter orange is the bright orange in the rainbow stack from Calypso Minerals. I will do a post on that stack at some point.
