I've been doing this all week with my mineralized shadows!! Today I used Family Silver MES duo from Holiday 2007. The dark side was used on my lids with Blackground paint pot as a base, and the lighter side as a highlight with Carbon in the crease. On my cheeks I had True Romantic blush with Barbie Fab blush on top. Then too top it off a dusting of Natural Flare beauty powder over the blush. On my lips I used 4N with a bit of Pinkarat plushglass.

Yesterday I did Mercurial MES from Flashtronic on the lid using a wet brush (Fix+) w/Sketch and carbon in the crease. Highlight was done with Nanogold from N and Daisychain from the Originals and on my cheeks was a bit of Fafi Fashion Frenzy blush with a dusting of Mercurial on top. It was so pretty!!

Starting tomorrow I'm going to use the Metal-X shadows for a few days. They need some love and attention too

Oooh, now I want to try Moon's Reflection with Moth Brown! I haven't used either in ages.
Yesterday evening I was a bit bored so I decided to play around with my makeup. I took inspiration from DevinGirls tutorial:
"Love that old gold" tutorial (my 1st - pic heavy!)

I don't have all the products she used so I put Urban Decay "Twice Baked" in the crease and outer corner instead of the HIP one she used, and Parrot in the inner corner instead of Teal pigment. Lovely, shimmery neutral look with a splash of colour!

Thanks! I really need some new ideas to use my MES especially Mercurial & Ether.

I am going to wear Ether with Submarine today. Submarine on the lid, Ether in the crease and Vanilla as a highlighter.

This look must be very pretty,a pity that I do not have Submarine. What do you usually pair up your Mercurial with? I only have a few combo eg. Mercurial with Ether/Lovestone/Satellite Dreams/Beautiful Iris or just Mercurial alone. Guess my creativity is limited.

I like Mercurial over Rubenesque paint pot, with Tempting (or other golden brown e/s) in the crease.

Try Mercurial with Beautiful Iris, Parfait Amour or pigment Violet

Or for a more neutral look with Satin Taupe. It also looks good with goldmine.

Satin Taupe? I would love to try that

Satin Taupe as a base on the lid and Mercurial in the crease. Also Vanilla as a highlighter.

If any of you ladies have Ether and Brill e/s that is one of my very favorite combos! Brill was discontinued from the permanent line sometime in 2006, but I have to say, without a doubt, it is my favorite MAC shadow. It goes perfectly with anything teal! I used the two in this FOTD:

I just tried this new look and I love it,easy and pretty. This has to be one of my favourite neutral look other than those from N collection.
