FOTD: Gold With a Hint of Gray

I think Gold and Gray make a stunning combination. I will try the color combination again in the near future to perhaps showcase the colors a bit better than what I've done here. I say "hint" of gray because in the pictures you can't really see it as well as in person. But it's there. Can you guess where without looking at the product list?

And can I just say how much I'm really enjoying the J.Lynne Gloss FX in Hilary? It sets any shade of lipstick wonderfully and adds a bit of class with some subtle and tasteful shimmer.

You've seen it and now you want it...

Brushes You'll Need:

  1. MAC 239
  2. MAC 242 (or 252)
  3. MAC 222 (or 224)
Eye Products You'll Need:
  1. Cash Flow p/p
  2. Goldmine e/s
  3. Old Gold p/m
  4. Clue e/s
  5. A Little Folie e/s
  6. Daisy Chain e/s
  7. Graphblack Technakohl
  8. Mascara
How To Get The Eyes:
  1. Use a firm bristle brush like the MAC 242 and apply Cash Flow p/p to the lids of your eyes. Hold the brush vertical with the bristle-end down, and apply the product in an upward manner. Blend out the edges to avoid any harsh lines.
  2. With an eyeshadow brush such as the MAC 239, pick up Goldmine e/s and add to the inner 1/3 of the lid.
  3. Then add Old Gold p/m to the middle of the lid using the same brush.
  4. Finish the outer lid with Clue e/s, again with the eyeshadow brush.
  5. Blend A Little Folie e/s into the entire crease but also adding a little more to the outer crease to add some depth. I use the MAC 222 blending brush for this because it's a bit firmer in application than a MAC 224.
  6. Highlight with Daisy Chain e/s.
  7. Add Graphblack Technakohl to the waterline.
  8. Curl eyelashes and add your favorite mascara!
I hope everyone in hanging tight until the week is over - 2 days AND COUNTING!! I'll be hanging out with the Sesame Street gang this Saturday since we're taking Big Tyke to go see Sesame Street Live. What are your plans?

Aloha,
Mrs. Lynne

Mrs. Lynne, MakeupFix.net said...

You are too sweet Anonymous! Do you have a favorite eye combo that you like doing?

Mrs. Lynne, MakeupFix.net said...

Hi Nell! Thank YOU for the lovely comment. You'll have to share your rendition of this look once you get around to doing it. I'd love to see it on ya :)

Mrs. Lynne, MakeupFix.net said...

Oooh, and gold will go beautifully against your skin tone my dear! Do let me know when you try this out cuz I sure would love to peep it out :)

Mrs. Lynne, MakeupFix.net said...

Hey Nilla Cookie,

I read your post on Kung Fu Panda earlier with your stunning Glossimer! What a great day you had, girl!

As for me, I have the next couple of days off so I'm thinking of catching up on some housework. Boooring, I know :/ Lol.

Do you have any other movies lined up to see? Btw, have you decided on a favorite dance crew yet for ABDC?

nilla cookie said...

Hey Mrs. Lynne,

We definitely want to go see that new movie, Wanted, next weekend and we still haven't seen the Zohan one either. We'll probably go next week when we're looking for down time from gambling in Reno/Tahoe :)

omg - I don't want to sound cliche but I really like watching Super Crew. BUT, I do have to support my peeps from the Bay too! Who are your faves?

Mrs. Lynne, MakeupFix.net said...

Good deal nilla cookie. Are you two going to visit you Mom while you're there? I hope you get lucky at those Pai Gow tables ;) If only gambling was legal here in Hawai'i.

Those are the two that I like also! I'm really moved by Joey on ACIID. That is just so amazing the dancing skill that he has despite his hearing disability. His story really humbles me :)
