    This is based off a look I did a year ago in October (I was looking through the archives). Just subtracted the blue color.

    I gotta work on updating this more. I’m such a makeup slacker now between school and work :(

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

    After work I went out with some friends, so I smoked out this look with some Urban Decay Zero liner on my lower waterline, and MAC Prrr lipglass.

I think it came out a lot better, but then again, all my looks from a year ago looked downright scary! I hadn’t started using products in my crease, and I’m not sure I even attempted to blend. Oh what a difference a year can make!!! :D

Decided to give a blue look another chance. I’m STILL finding blues awkward :(

    • I love it! I think it might become my “routine” look for work, maybe with substitutes here and there for some of the colors. It’s quick and easy, and all of those shades easily blend together, so I don’t have to spend a lot of time blending out difficult finishes.
