All this talk of Icons on the board was in my head when I did my face today. I love the classic look of the ultra-glam movie stars of yesterday, so I tried to look like one

My lashes are looking a little haggard in these pics, after 7 hours of wear, but they started out nice...

Thank you!
I started with frostlite all over with the 252 brush, then topped the whole thing with seedy pearl. Seedy Pearl as a base really softens up the red in the cranberry With cranberry I applied it on the lid only with the 213 brush. I started on the outside corner and pulled the color in, so it gets lighter as it goes. I put Crimsonette in the crease with the 219 brush, heavy on the outside, thinner towards the inner corner. Then blended in Buff-de-Buff on the inner half of the lid only, from lashes to brows. It gave such a nice shimmer over the inner part of the eye. I can never get the full effect to come out in the pics, maybe time for a new camera.
