How refreshing to see another colour addict!

There was not a look there that I did not enjoy either!

I have to use heavy bases on my lids due to allergic reactions, so it is really really hard to blend like I want to on myself, but on others that do not need the heavy bases, I get to blend to my heart's content.

I love the colors and looks you use. It would be such fun to hang out together and play, wouldn't it?

Thanks for taking the time to share the looks with us. It is so inspiring!

Hey, if you want to have some real fun, get Girl About Town, blend it with Blue pigment and watch the color blast from your lips.

Like Up the Amp with a twist of even more excitment.

Keep up the good work, color girl!

Yogurt would be the closest exsisting color. Sleepy is a tad too frosty and possibly not pink enough.

Where do you buy the crystals? What do you use for adhesive? The looks are great! I am trying my best to get to that level. Practice makes perfect. Did you go to school to learn how to apply makeup?

Plus, there's no "right" way to apply makeup necessarily. For everyday makeup, yes, things should be seamlessly blended, but aside from that, do what you want! Posting photos don't really show application techniques. I realized this when I was staying with mandabean254 (on LJ) in New York. She watched me do my makeup and was amazed at how lightly I touched the brush to my face and at how little product I used. This is something that photos don't show. And what most people fail to to understand is that a tutorial using x,y and z shadows doesn't mean you have to use x, y and z shadows. You can use a, b and c in place of them. Plus, I feel like tutorials (where people are copying the color combos) limit creativity. We all gather inspiration from various places whether we're conciously aware of it or not, but tutorials limit that IMO. I force myself to come up with new "looks" by never repeating a look unless I'm running SUPER late. Yep, you read right! Over the past 2 or so years, I have never worn the same look twice. When i get ready to do my makeup, I open my palettes and choose at least 2 colors, I haven't worn in a while. Even if it looks like they won't work together, I make them work. It's all about placement
