Ah, so the first one is kinda similar to my last fotd I was still feeling autumn-esque, so I went for more gold and reds. I was going out for dinner with my best friends and I didn't have long to get ready, so it was a bit rushed.

Used: Mac or otherwise stated.

Face:
Non-fiction - Benefit
Studio fix in nc20 (i looked at the bottom of my thing, i get so confused over macs warm and cool colours
hmm.gif
)
Touche Eclat

Cheeks
Glissade MSF
Pearl Sunshine B/p
Apricot Shimmer brick - Bobbi Brown

Eyes:
Reubenesque PP (OMG LOVE lol)
Paradisco e/s (which I've discovered is like a pink version of parfait amour. A b*tch to blend and wipes off so easily ugh.)
Amber Lights e/s
Tempting e/s
Cranberry e/s
Blacktrack F/l
Black eyeliner pencil - prestige
Hypnose Mascara - Lancome
Walnut Brow shader/Ivoire to highlight

I'm not 100% what I had on my lips, but I'm fairly sure there was some babied over whatever lipstick it was. possibly hug me.

This next one, is my attempt at something I saw in a livejournal community. The girl that originally posted this look has posted a few tutorials on specktra under the name sassychix. Unfortunately I forget which community it was (I rarely go on LJ and I always forget the comms I like to lurk haha) but I thought I'd say, since she inspired this. Her version was about 100x nicer than mine, but I was quite pleased with this "irl"...until I tried to photograph it. Oh, my word, the camera would not pick these colours up well. I ended up sticking my head under a lamp

Thank you very much! I wish they were! the threading lady took a large chunk off my inner left eyebrow, and they have a slight natural wave to them which drives me crackers! Hehe!
