    I am not sure I need to use Dangerous Cuvée as a base, as it didn’t make a difference. However, earlier in the day I used it as a base for Hypnotizing for work, and it showed through very nicely. I love I Get No Kick as a highlighter, so happy with my purchase.

    I wish I could think of a patriotic scheme to do for tomorrow, but I’m worried it’d come out muddy…

    It was pretty, but didn’t have great staying power like normal MAC shadows do. But I was happy to finally use these shadows, I’ve had them sitting around since last fall!

I also used my liquid foundation today, and wow! I forgot how light it feels, and how great my skin looks with it!

    ]]>     http://www.sushiblumen.com/2010/01/23/playing-with-some-lesser-used-purples/feed/ 0     Ice ice… http://www.sushiblumen.com/2009/01/15/ice-ice/ http://www.sushiblumen.com/2009/01/15/ice-ice/#comments Thu, 15 Jan 2009 18:44:29 +0000 admin http://blog.sushiblumen.com/?p=123 So it snowed today, and I decided to just stay home, and be warm and lazy. I wanted to do somewhat of an “icy” look, and try out some of the new colors I have gotten recently.

    Products used (all MAC unless indicated):

    Eyes

    • Painterly paint pot as a base
    • Sea & Sky mineralize e/s
    • Aquadisiac e/s
    • Top Hat e/s
    • Shroom e/s
    • Auto-De-Blu Technakohl Liner
    • Urban Decay Yeyo 24/7 Eye Pencil
    • Brow Set in clear
    • Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash mascara
    • DuWop Lash Venom mascara

    Lips

    • Elaborate lipglass

    Eyes are “complicated” so I’m going to describe it all here. After painterly, I took the white/blue half of Sea & Sky (I’ll assume it’s the “Sky” portion, so I’ll refer here on out as that) and put it all over my lid, and up past the crease a bit with a 239 brush. After that, I took Aquadisiac with a 239 brush and applied it in a stripe in the middle of my lid. Then, with a 239 I took Top Hat and applied in my outer V, and blended into the crease, and with the Aquadisiac. I then took Sea (from Sea & Sky, naturally) with a 239, and applied that over the Top Hat, and blended well. I went back and added more Sky and Aquadisiac to brighten up the color. Using the 217 brush, I blended Shroom in the crease, up to the brow. Then I took my 219 pencil brush, and applied Sky in the tear duct, and along the bottom inner 3rd of my lashes. Continuing with the 219, I applied Aquadisiac along the rest of my bottom lashes, and Sea over the Aquadisiac.

    I then lined my upper lashes with Auto-De-Blu liner, and with my 217 patted some Sky over the line to make it blend in a bit better. Then I grabbed Yeyo from my Urban Decay 24/7 Eye Pencil set I just got today (yay!) and applied it on top of the Auto-De-Blu line on the inner portion where the Sky shadow was, and then around the tear duct, and the inner third of my lower lashes. I topped my upper lashes off with Make Up Forever Smokey Lash, and my lower lashes with DuWop Lash Venom (Smokey Lash is too clumpy to use successfully on the lower lash I’ve found)

    Whew, I’m glad I remembered all of that! Definitely a lot more detailed and complicated than I am use to do, but I am time to spare today so I wanted to see what I could come up with.

    Yes, wet hair again, lol. Definitely a lazy day! Hence why I also didn’t do concealer/foundation.

    So I suppose this came out kinda “icy” looking. Either way, it was kinda fun :)
