FOTD: It's A Little Bright In Here

When I look at the colors I used in this FOTD, it reminds me of a parakeet because of the bright colors of their feathers. Well, actually. Now that I think about it, I felt and looked like Mimi from The Drew Carey Show :/ It's been a long time since I've worn something this "loud" and I was definitely feeling weird wearing it out in public - yah, call me crazy to even take it outside the front door, but I did!

It didn't come out as good as I wanted it to, but I was running out of time to be more innovative with the colors I had already laid down.

Here are the details...

Studio Finish Concealer NW35 (ring finger)
Buff'd Concealing Formula - Camel (188)

BROWS
STILA Brow Set (266)

EYES
UDPP
Layin' Low p/p (lid - 252)
Chrome Yellow e/s (inner lid - 239)
Steamy e/s (middle lid - 239)
Blue Jewel e/s (outer lid - 239)
Freshwater e/s (crease - 222)
Deep Truth e/s (outer crease - 222)
Daisy Chain e/s (highlight - 239)
Blacktrack f/l (upper lashline - 209)
Graphblack Technakohl (waterline)
Covergirl Lash Blast

LIPS
Bare Slimshine







I personally don't necessarily think this look is all that inspiring, but here's how to get it in case you want to play around with your colors:

Brushes You'll Need:

1. MAC 239
2. MAC 252 (or 242)
   
3. MAC 222 (or 224)
4. MAC 209 (or 208)
   

Eye Products You'll Need:

1. Chrome Yellow e/s
2. Steamy e/s
3. Jewel Blue e/s
4. Freshwater e/s
5. Deep Truth e/s
   
6. Daisy Chain e/s (or highlighter of your choice)
7. Blacktrack f/l
8. Graphblack Technakohl
   
9. Mascara
   

How To Get The Eyes:

1. Use a firm bristle brush like the MAC 252 and apply Layin' Low p/p to your eyelids. Layin' Low p/p is from the Fafi Collection but Painterly p/p will work just as well. I chose to have just a flesh colored base for this look.
2. With an eyeshadow brush such as the MAC 239, place Chrome Yellow e/s on the inner lid depositing color near the lashline and pulling the color towards the crease. This allows for maximum color to adhere closer to the eye and also making blending in the crease easier.
3. With the same brush, put Steamy e/s in the middle of the lid right next to Chrome Yellow e/s. Sweep the color into the Chrome Yellow e/s. This automatically blends the two together.
4. Now grab some Jewel Blue e/s and fill in the outer lid.
5. I used a MAC 222 to blend Freshwater into the crease. Starting from the outer lid and working my way to the inner lid, I firmly grip the brush and with gentle circular motions, blend the color in.
6. With only a couple of taps of the MAC 222 into Deep Truth e/s, you'll have more than enough to deepen the outer crease. Make sure the eyeshadow is tapped in at the very tips of the bristles and only tap a couple times into the pan at a time. It's easier to go back and get more color to build, than to have taken too much to begin with.
7. Highlight your brow bone at any time. I used MAC Daisy Chain e/s with the MAC 239 and blend downward into the crease.
8. Line the top lashline with Blacktrack f/l and a MAC 209 brush. I was trying a pointed-tip brush instead of my HG MAC 208 angle brush just to see if I had a change of heart on it - nope!
9. Add Graphblack Technakohl to the waterline.
   
10. Curl eyelashes and add your favorite mascara!

Although it's warm here on the island, it looks groggy outside. I hope you have clear skies outside your window today :)
