When I have a day where I feel like experimenting or don't have an exact look in mind I pull out a color and I HAVE to create a look based around that color. When I'm finished I throw the paper out so I can't pick it again. It's a great way to use eyeshadows you don't usually go for. I picked Electric Eeel the other day and I NEVER use it but created a gorgeous look using Electric Eel and Solar White. I reccommend trying it if you have the time!!

That's a great idea! I think I'm going to try it.

Any tips for making it easier to work with? I think the biggest reason I don't like it is the chunky texture.

^^ Try using it wet. That does help in making the texture easier to apply.

Groundwork p/p on lid and crease UD Underground e/s on lid (I also rarely use this but it's so pretty!) Smoke Signal p/g in outer V and crease Claire de Lune e/s as browbone highlight (rarely use this as well but it goes so well with Smoke Signal!) I loved this look-I'm going to wear it again, I can already tell-it's so smoky and pretty!

I just posted an FOTD with it...here's the linkyy

2 recent looks... - Specktra.Net

As usual, I was in a hurry this morning, and I was also super tired from only sleeping 4 hours or so last night, so I couldn't really think of anything fancy schmancy to wear... but I got my Jest out for the first time in ages and wore it with a purplish shade (reminds me of Illegal Cargo) from a forgotten H&M palette, and Satin Taupe in the crease. As a base I used Frostlite fluidline, also an ignored little gem!

 

[Susanne]

For a hot summer day:

Refined Golden as a bronzer and as a blush, All That Glitters e/s all over the lid, blacktrack fluidline and black mascara.
l/s Bombshell on the lips (love that color!) - done!

 

[Karen_B]

Sounds like a great summer look, Susanne!

The other day I was in a hurry to get to work (I have been oversleeping like crazy lately) so I put on my Shimmertime pigment (ignored), lined with Teddy eyekohl (ignored), applied mascara and Light Flush MSF (used 2X since i got it) over Milani Luminous. Hush Hush tendertone on my lips and I was good to go

After having a hard time getting ether and using it only once....i found it again with the item that were forgotten. Im not sure if i want to keep it or not, aside from the colors that has i dont know with what else to use it or combine-combination of colors, so if you have any ideas plz let me know

 

[iheartangE]

I broke out Moonbathe today

I love the look of these shadows but I never use them!

Artifact p/p + Cranberry e/s on lid
Omega e/s (base) + Cosmic e/s in crease
Carbon in outer V
Saturnal on lower lashline

Pretty and smoky...not my favorite combination ever though, I'll have to keep experimenting

Ether looks really good with silvery greys - if you have Quarry MES or something similar to Rondelle eyeshadow, that would work. It also looks good with pinkish golds - I like it with Mercurial MES over rubenesque paint pot.

I think I'll wear a Heatherette trio today, not sure which one though. May go for the green one. I think I've only used it once since i got it.

Yes, go for the green one!

 

[rocking chick]

I tried my green e/s look for the 1st time in my life. It gives me a very Spring feel & fresh look.

Warm Chill - apply on lids and whole lower lashline
Springtime Skipper - from lashline to crease
Ether - from lashline to crease again and 1/3 end of lower lashline
Blacktrack - line on upper lash line and 1/3 of lower lashline.

i love the idea of this thread and have been trying to shop my stash... today i dug out mancatcher e/s from lure, put it on my lid, with sea myth as a hilight and in inner corners, and did post haste from matte2 and parfait amour in my crease. yesterday i used cosmic es from moonbathe on lid, and used romping e/s and pink bronze pigment in my crease, with a blue color that reminds me of electric eel from mufe on my outer third

 

[kimmy]

i really need to pare my collection down some. especially because there's a few new things coming out that i really want but i have to stop and ask myself at some point; "how much damn makeup do i honestly need?" i hope this goes well...eeeee

 

[Susanne]

My look for today:

Freshwater on the lid, Flashtrack in the outer V, Parfait Amour in the crease and underneath. Vanilla as a highlighter. Black eyeliner and mascara.

Blush Fleurry and plushglass Foolish Fab.

 

[SuSana]

I have tons of purples, but I never use my purple piggies, so today I did:

Phloof! - inner corner
Lovely Lily pig - middle lid
Viz-a-Violet pig - outer lid
Entremauve pig - crease
Pink Opal pig - above crease to blend into the highlighter which was Solar White

I love purples

Hey, sorry I just saw this now. I use mine with home made mixing medium and it applies really smooth. I only have a sample of Rose and I'm sunning out quick. I need to get a full size jar soon

Thanks! I think I'll try it with MM and see if that doesn't make it better.

Today I'm wearing Prrr l/g, and I haven't worn it in ages. I don't wear lipgloss much anymore, but it's still my HG.
