... beauty: UPDATED WITH PHOTO!!! Classic golden brown EOTD featuring Make Up Geek eyeshadows....

I originally put this up as an EOTD without pictures because they just weren't picking up how pretty the colours are. They still don't really, but I think that some pictures are better than none so here they are!!


This is a classic, wearable, golden-peachy-brown look. It is extremely flattering on most people but I absolutely adore it for bringing out the warmth in my dark brown eyes.

In natural daylight

In bright indoor light

Primer: Too Faced Shadow Insurance

Socket: Purely Naked as the main colour with a little Cocoa Bear added for extra depth
Lid: Glamorous
Under eye: Purely Naked with a little Glamorous blended over the inner third
Liner: Corrupt
Highlight: Shimma Shimma on browbone and tearduct


I hope this explains the look clearly. Please click here to see swatches of the shadows if you would like to recreate it for yourself.

All the shadows I used were from Make Up Geek and I bought them myself.

...beauty: EOTD - Weirdly Wearable pink, red and black

Blog Sale on the way folks but today we had some actual sunshine so I decided to make the most of it. My camera still did not quite do it justice - it is a little pinker, purplier and sparklier in real life but the pics are not too bad today!

-Base: Too Faced Shadow Insurance

-Lid + inner 2/3 of lower lashline: MAC Sushi Flower

-Outer corner/Socket/outer 1/3 of lower lashline: MAC Cranberry

-Extra socket definition: MAC Beauty Marked

-Lid + Inner lower lashline Highlight: Napoleon Perdis shimmer dust No.7

-Brow highlight (which has not shown up at al!!) : Laura Geller Wonder Wand

-Waterline: MAC eye kohl Smoulder


As you can see, the three pics all look fairly different. The reality is somewhere in the middle, but with more sparkle!
I love Sushi Flower and Cranberry together, I think they make such a pretty combination. Quite Summery, reminds of things to look forward too while it's freezing cold with gale force winds....
The Napoleon Perdis pigment is a pink/gold/very slightly green tinged shimmer powder that gives extra dimension and vibrancy to the look.
Beauty Marked is amazing for darkening red or purple shades because it takes on the colours rather than taking them over like a standard black. For example, over Cranberry, it turns into a dark purple.

Anyway, I hope you like it.
Thanks for reading.xx

First of all I have to apologise for the distinct lack of a picture. It is soooo dark here at the moment and I just cannot get the colours to show up on my camera phone.
I will keep trying, though, so do check back here if my written explanation isn't enough.

This is a classic, wearable, Sophia Loren-style look. It is extremely flattering on most people but I absolutely adore it for bringing out the warmth in my dark brown eyes.
