I feel like I've been FOTDin' like craaaazzzyyy. I've been having color-combo visions left and right and wish I could just knock them all out in one day so I don't forget.
Anyhow, I attempted to use white liner on my waterline. I thought it would contrast this combo nicely but instead it stole center stage of the entire look. Seriously, they weren't lying when they said white liner brightens up the eyes. It was too bright for what I was going for so I toned down the outer waterline by putting my Technakohl over it. Trust me, it was crazy looking. I'll have to figure out a look for that *thinks*.
Amongst other things, I tried using Bare Canvas under the cream eyeshadow instead of UDPP, more for application purposes of Metalblu. Well, the drier finish of Bare Canvas worked a little bit better for Metalblu but it still didn't slather on like the others. AND get this! As the Metalblu "dough" shifted in the pot, I saw the bottom of the pan! That's disappointing *crosses arms*.
Well, at least it's Aloha Friday tomorrow - YAY :))))

pretty pretty blues. :D I love all the combos you're using! keep formulating, they're inspiring. :D
Blue is such a beautiful color on you...and may I say that you can blend hun! Blending is an art and you've got it :)
-Christiana: Thanks for the encouragement my dear :))))
-Cindy: Hey sweetie, welcome back! Your words are too kind *blush*.
i lvoe your eyebrows and you have big eyes. What do you use on your brows? or is it natural??
I really love that you can see all the shades of blue! It's very fun for holiday! :)
you work those cream eyeshadows!! i know what you mean about the white liner. since i used the wet n wild.. it died down after i wore it a little =)
i knew that cream eyeshadow felt doughy!!! but i thought it was because it was a tester!
-Anna: That's very nice of you sweetie, thank you! I fill in my brows using Stila's Brow Set.
-Nilla: I was actually surprised that my junk camera caught the different shades also! Right when I really dislike my camera, it finds a way to redeem itself.
-yummy411: I am not really feeling Metalblu. It is such a pain in the ass for me and the consistency that it's been (not become) kinda makes me sick. I'm disappointed in it but am also confused as to why the other ones I have aren't like that.
oooohhh this one is exciting too.
-Betch: Aren't the colors sooo pretty?
