I like their names they are fun haha

Yesterday I did a copper eye. Completely by accident, I started with one shade and blended out with another.
The colors ended up being very close, thus a copper smokey sorta look lol
Unfortunately I could not get a pic with my eyes closed.

I LOVE a copper smokey eye. It's pretty & so wearable!!!

Thank you, Meddy! I'm really loving the Pretty it Up pigment. It's such a lovely olive gold.

AAAARGH my last NYX square eyeshadow in Cryptonite has detached from the pan! I went to press it back in and it broke into powder! What will I make my silver smokey eye with tomorrow? @!/&#£/&#;#(#,÷(×! That was my only gripe with those square shadows. Several shades just...shattered. I am never rough with them and have never dropped this shadow. I found it at a beauty supply store months ago in a clearance bin, brought it home and sat it in a drawer. That is the extent of its activity. I took it out today and it was out of its pan. I am sad (I re-pressed with 99% alcohol so let's say a prayer for Cryptonite.

Aww, I think you saved it... I'll say a little prayer for it, though!

I tried but I waited too late to get good natural light. The look is actually soft, and the neutral lip keeps the whole look quiet.

We'll toss that idea to the group for a week of pigments after the 2-week smokey eye challenge.

I knew this was going to happen, but I forgot the looks I loved. I had a copper/brown smokey eye and did the cat eye shape that Aradhana mentioned. I am not taking the color to my lower line b/c I'm having contact issues. Something is smudging them, and I can't figure out what. It isn't always makeup, and happens bout 50% of the time. Normally when it is makeup, i can see the color of the makeup on the lens, these smudges are clear.

I also did a grey smokey eye. I'm starting to like smokey eyes. If i remember what I did, I'll come back. For now, I'm thinking of next weeks makeup. :-D I think I'll go with purple!

I'm so glad you're having fun with smokey eye looks Pretty!!! Can you deep clean your contacts to get at the smudge---maybe its an emollient of some kind.
​ I thought I knew my favorite but now I'm not so sure. I'm looking forward to the week ahead and more fun looks.

LOL, as messed up as my sentence structure can be (lazy, typing too fast)  you don't have to apologize.  So, how is the NYx orange concealer is that new? I might have to replace my BB corrector with that.  I'm also going to check out the NYX HD Concealer.  What is SM? 

No, the NYX orange concealer isn't new. An old favorite. I like it because it is pure orange. A cheaper version of the Laura Mercier in Orange/Yellow. I don't want any pink in my corrector, KWIM?
