Simple as Birds & Berries

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

This is an extremely simple look that still gives some color. The more and more I use Birds & Berries, the more I like it. I guess it’s just a lot more wearable (to me) than most of my other blues.

    Blues freak me out. Which doesn’t explain why I have a palette full of pretty blues and teals… I guess they’re so tempting to buy because they look gorgeous, but I always feel like an idiot when I wear them.

    So when I saw this combination posted up as a FOTD on specktra.net I had to try it. It’s almost like a neutral look, but still has some color – blue!

    I have NO idea what was up with my concealer today… it applied all chunky. So I had to wipe it all off. Not sure if it was due to my brush being uber dirty (today was brush washing day luckily), or if I just sucked at applying it today. So my undereye area looks like poo, just ignore it :P

    Swatching Procedure: My skintone is a MAC NW20. Product is applied over Painterly paint pot, so results may be different if applied on bare skin. All photos taken under “natural light” bulbs, which mimic natural daylight.
