I haven’t used my Blackground paint pot too much, so I brought it out today. MAC Stars N’ Rockets eyeshadow over it looks gorgeous! Usually on it’s own or over a neutral paint pot it’s a very pinky-purple color, but over Blackground the blue duochrome really comes out!

Gotta shop that stash and do more stuff with blues!!

Definitely like this look… not too blue! I think I’ll have to try mixing my blues with other shades to find stuff that’s wearable to me. All blue looks just rub me wrong.
On a side note, I’ve been at this blog for over a year now! Yay! And WOW, I’ve come a LONG way in application technique/blending/etc! It’s so nice to be able to look back and see improvement Which is exactly why I started this blog, because I wanted to document my looks and see improvement, and perhaps help a few others along the way
Ooo, I love it! Once again, another look off my super awesome list of combinations to try… which I will try to get posted as a page after I’m done adding all the stuff into My Collection page. Moving to a wordpress format has been so nice, I’m loving it! Definitely a lot more flexibility in layout and content.
Some thoughts…
1) 217 oh how I love you! I can’t believe I ever said I didn’t see the point in you on specktra.net!
2) It’s Parfait AMOUR not ARmour *smacks forehead* I just recently stumbled upon that discovery… can I claim it’s because French words aren’t my thing!? At least it’s not as bad as me calling Slip Pink “Pink Slip” for the past two years…
3) I wonder what my classmates think when I walk into class with makeup like this… Considering only a small fraction even seem to have mascara on, I wonder if I’m a sight to see with dramatic smokey looks for school…
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. Parfait Amour packed all over lid with 239 brush. Stars N’ Rockets swept into crease with 239 brush. Using a 217 brush, Beauty Marked was buffed into outer V and outer half of crease. Using a 272 brush, Crystal Avalanche was used as a highlight and in inner corners. Rave liner applied to waterline, and using a 219 brush, Parfait Amour applied under lower lashes.
Lips
*squeeeee* I love it. I don’t know why, I guess I didn’t expect it to turn out like this. Thank goodness for a 217 brush!
However, I can’t decide if the look needs some eyeliner on my upper lashes… I avoid lining looks as sometimes it ruins everything, but sometimes it’s needed. I just don’t know…
