Something quick I came up with today…
Face
Eyes
Lips
Painterly applied as a base. Hypnotizing applied over whole lid, and inner half of lower lahses. Mulch applied in crease and outer V, and outer half of lower lashes. Naked Lunch applied above crease, and Retrospeck applied as a highlight. Grey Utility applied along upper lashes, and Zero applied on lower waterline.
Time to swatch all of my MAC eye liners that are in pencil form! (Fluidlines to come later)
I don’t have a lot from MAC because Urban Decay has a hold on my eye liner soul with their 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils. But I have picked up some MAC ones here and there. I love MAC’s Pearlglide formula, and the Softsparkles are nice as well.

Swatching procedure: My skin tone is roughly a MAC NW20 (maybe NW15 since any tan is fading). Photos are taken in my bathroom under “Natural Light” bubs which mimic natural daylight.
I feel like I’ve been having some “off days” the past two days. My looks have been very bleh and non impressive, but alas I shall post pictures anyway…
For November 1, 2009…

November 2, 2009…

I called the post office today, and it turns out my package of empty pans were sitting in the back room. Apparently, they weren’t going to deliver them?! LOL. I have no idea, but I guess they’re going to throw them in the mail for tomorrow. So eventually I should be able to press my pigments!
The weather is such a bummer today 
It’s felt so dark all day, and rain rain rain rain! Yesterday was sunny, so to wake up to this today is crappy.
So in honor of the gray weather I present a gray look!
Face
Foundation applied with 209, MSF with 268. Concealer applied under eyes and smoothed out with 194 brush.
Eyes
Painterly applied as base with flat e/s brush. Fade applied all over lid with 239 brush. Scene applied to crease and outer corner with 217 brush. Nehru used to darken outer corner with a 217 brush. Crystal Avalanche applied as a highlight with 275 brush. Grey Utility lining top lashes and lower waterline.
Lips
And a rare full face shot!
On Sunday night I ordered a few things from the Container Store to organize my collection with. Much to my disappointment I haven’t seen a change on my order status, and oddly enough, haven’t received a confirmation email of me ever even placing the order. If I don’t see a change tomorrow on the status, I think I’ll give them a ring and see what’s up. I’m overly eager to get these things! I ordered a clear acrylic DVD rack (thank you MAC for making the palettes DVD sized!) for, duh, my palettes. Along with that, I ordered an acrylic rack/tray that I am going to use to store all my pencils and mascaras “Sephora style” with beads at the bottom. The Dixie cup I am currently using just isn’t cutting it! Container Store has lots of awesome storage solutions, and they’re reasonably priced! So hopefully my order ships soon. The whole not getting the order confirmation email, even 2 days later, is worrying me. Woe is me.
In the pictures you can’t really tell I had blue on my eyes, but I swear it’s there! Deep Truth I guess just felt like photographing weird today

Eyes
Painterly applied as base with flat eyeshadow brush. All That Glitters applied all over lid with 239 brush. Satin Taupe applied to crease with 222 brush. Deep Truth used to darken outer V and crease with 217 brush. Shroom applied as a highlight, 272 brush. Grey Utility applied to upper lash line and waterline.
I feel like this is something kinda unusual for me… It is something off of my list of combinations to try (though I did my own highlight/blend and liners). I like it, though! I kind of did a messy job (especially with the liner), so it’s not perfect looking, but I definitely think this is something I would do again, and in different variations with different colors.

Bleh, I’m so dark under my eyes But… I am too lazy to put on a bunch of concealer, especially when I am not doing anything special. Hence my powder foundation – I don’t like to be all gloppy with products.

Boo, my normal camera that I take my pics with had its battery die, so I had to use my fancier point and shoot. It’s flash is really powerful, so I had to take today’s pictures without flash so they don’t look the best.
I got this idea off of macmakeup.net’s list of eyeshadow combination.

god those pictures look like crap!
Also, I feel like lately that the makeup just isn’t “sticking” to me. I’ll apply, and then 15 minutes later it’s really faded??? I don’t know what’s up It’s getting disgruntling.
