Alice in Wonderland

This look was inspired by xsparkage's Alice look. It's a shimmery bright blue and gold look.

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.

Tarry Night











This is a look that I would love to do for a show or a hardcore night out, but I had to adapt it a little, as I was going to be wearing it all day. I don't really go to shows or out anymore anyway; I have a two year old! So I'm sure all will be shocked to learn I used a Hard Candy quartet. I used an oldie but goodie, the Techno quad. I used both blacks as well as the silver. I also used a NYX jumbo Black Bean pencil, and started by rubbing that all over my lower lid on top of my UDPP. I then used the smoky grey/black and applied that all over my lid about halfway up to the browbone. Next, I blended the crap out of it, using a color that matches my skin tone on my brow bone, blending into the smoky grey/black. I then used the pitch black color with silver sparkles on my lid and blended. I smudged both colors on my lower lash line, using the silver on my tear duct and inner corner. I used a black eyeliner on top and bottom lash lines and on top and bottom water lines. Finished with black mascara. I loved how this turned out, the pitch black has silver sparkles, which really set off the look, and in my opinion give it a pretty, rather then industrial look. The trick to wearing any makeup is to blend, but especially with dark colors!

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.


Purple Punch









Okay, so for this look I used the Hard Candy quad Frigid. For the inner corner I used the white purple in my Hard Candy Techno quad.

Everyday Green







Here is a bright green look that I wear to work. The colors don't go up too high above my crease, therefore making it a "day" look. At least in my very colorful book! I used Urban Decay Primer Potion as a base. Now, I happen to use MAC brushes most of the time, and they're great, but anything you can work out, go with it. My brushes are fairly recent purchases, and for years I used cheapos and whatever came with my pallettes, and my makeup still looked great. I then used the white green in the Hard Candy Mental quad in the inner corners of my eyes, and brought it up onto my lids a little less then a quarter of the way. Then I applied Urban Decay's Vert all over my lid a little past my crease. Next, I applied the dark green in the Hard Candy Mental quad in the outer corners, blending and bringing about a quarter of the way in. I then used the white green at the top of the color above my crease. Next, I took a skin tone beige and applied to my brow bone. I used Vert to smudge all along my lower lash line, and blended it into the white green. The key to wearing bright bold looks to work is keeping the color low and blended! If I were going out with this look, I would have taken the Vert up higher, brought the dark green up and over, and applied with a heavier hand. I may even have used the white green on the lid instead of Vert to go for a dramatic contrast. Anyhow, I used a medium shade brown pencil for eyeliner on the top lash line and my water line. I followed up with two coats of black mascara.

Get Baked











This is my version of Urban Decay's Get Baked look. I used mostly Hard Candy products. I used Hard Candy's Suede quad, and Urban Decay's Electric pencil. I'm pretty sure Hard Candy was bought out by Urban Decay though, as Hard Candy's site has been 50% off for months, and there is less and less product to choose from. Also, when I ordered from them, the box said Urban Decay. Pretty good indicator, eh?
