Playing around with blue/purple/gold

[mello]

So it was one in the morning and I was sort of bored, and inspired by a look in a magazine so I decided to play around with some color. Normally I just use neutral looks, so this is something completely new to me. I know it's not that great, but practice makes perfect

FACE
- Maybeline Oil Free Pure Foundation in Sandy Beige all over face
- Physician's formula under eye concealer in yellow
- Physician's formula concealer in green
- Covergirl Professional loose powder in translucent medium
- Annabelle blush
- Elizabeth Arden bronzer in golden (For contouring)
- Irridecent powder

EYES
- Rimmel eyeshadow trio in Lavender Mist (middle shade on entire lid, darkest in outer corners)
- CG eyeshadow in ...some dark blue w/ sparkles (in crease + outer corner)
- Annabelle pigment in prism (inner corner) + chiffon (bottom lash line) I love this stuff! It works great.
- Maybeline great lash mascara
- Bonnebell eyeliner in black ink (waterlines) + bold brown (eyebrows)
- Quo falsh lashes (#803 I think)

I think if this was done with eyeshadows by MAC it would have came out a lot more vibrant...the covergirl shadow basically got absorbed into my skin and wasn't there anymore after not even a half an hour :S It stays on a lot better with a base, which I did not use. Anyways, any tips or suggestions are welcome!

Thank you all so much! I'm really skeptical when it comes to playing around with color, but I'll definitely try it out again in the near future (when my MAC or Annabelle pigment collection expands

).

Defenetly consider using a base if you want the eyeshadows to stay on all day long and look more vibrant.
Anyways, pretty colours!
