EOTD Old Bruise

I spent some hours this week looking at blending and makeup videos on youtube. I really really can't blend worth a squat so am trying very hard to learn. Still the look turned out with a sharpish crease-line :S. And of course, one eye is greener then the other :S.

(these pics are taken closer to the window)

Colors used are:

TKB Tradings Pennsylvania Green on outer half of the lid

TKB Tradings Scorpio the Eigth on the inner side of the lid and also as blush

TKB Tradings Mermaid's Gold just above the iris

Just a tap of TKB Tradings Echo in inner corners and a bit on the lower lashline

TKB Tradings Cyprus Green in the outer crease and lower lashline.

E.L.F.'s dual ended eye shadow primer
EDM's Pearl Sunlight under the eyes and as highlighter
EDM's pressed powder in Fairly Light as concealer on spots (this was a mistake, looks very disgustingly caked, franky I dont't like the product at all, it is unusable on my skin. I try to use it but I always fail. Any tips? Personally I think their new formulation in pressed powders absolutely sucks - too much oil.)
EDM's  Sandy Fair as foundation

TKB Trading's silica microspheres as setting powder

Lumene Natural Code mascara in black

Springtime bright EOTD

Something colorful - after all for the first time since November the air temperature has finally reached above zero (C)! Lemon Drop in inner corners, Lotsa Lime in the middle and Grape in the crease, all dry. The colors contrast a bit too much for my taste, next time something more subtle to replace Lemon Drop. Needs a liner.

Looks better when eyes closed.

EOTD: Purple-Green

Tundub, et rohelillad kooslused on kujunemas mu lemmikuteks.
The purple-green combination is becoming one of my favorites. Gold goes well with it too.

Helerohelise ja lilla kooslus vajab veidike harjumist: Grape on kaunis intensiivne, kui paksult panna ning võib sellisel juhul paista nagu paras pirakas sinikas.

Kasutatud värvid:
TKB Grape välisnurkades ja silmavaos, Breath of Spring sisenurkades ja laul. Samuti kasutasin seda leevendamaks Grape liigset lillasust ning hajutasin väljapoole. Lainerina Conservatorie 18 K Gold. Silmade all EDM'i Pearl Sunlight ning meigipõhjana Intensive Fair concealer pooleks Sandy Fair'iga. Põsepunaks Conservatorie Twinkling pink, väikese sädelusega heleroosa.

Ahjaa - kosmeetik värvis kulme. Mu meelest jäi kaunis jube kuid loodetavasti kulub värv nädalavahetusega ära.


Please excuse the eyebrows - the beautician got carried away. Much too dark.

EOTD Rainbow: including the much avoided blue aka The Swedish Flag

This one is something i tried to do using the bright blue that i usually avoid cause it adds 30 yrs to me. And makes me look like lady of questionable morals. Well - unfortunately it did not turn out so good initially - and as I mended it later by adding a 'lil green in the middle and some off white in inner corners (improved the overall look a lot, i must say) I forgot to take the new pictures :D. So these two here are not the actual finished looks.

TKB Trading's Pop! Collection again, this time Lemon Drop and Blueberry. Later I added some Green Apple on the moving part of the lid, just above the iris and some EDM's Pearl Sunlight in the inner corners to tone down the excess yellowness. It looked pretty good after that.

These photos are actually very helpful - they help me to see, if the color is evenly spread or still needs to be blended. Educating. Ppl usually keep it to themselves when something is amiss in your face but the camera does not lie.

Meigist enda jaoks piltide tegemine on tegelt vägagi vajalik. Kui muid katsejäneseid pole ja iseenda peal harjutama peab, siis on väga raske hinnata, kas toonid said nüüd sümmeetriliselt peale kantud võiet kas toonide üleminekud on sujuvalt välja tulnud.
Nendel piltidel siin on hästi näha see, et kahe tooni vaheline üleminek on liiga järsk - seepärast lisasin pärast keskele, iirise kohale rohelise täpi ning veidi heledamat tooni silma sisenurka - see muutis mulje veidi sujuvamaks.

EOTD Rainbow

Another sort of rainbow-look, colors used are TKB's Tangerine all over, Lemon drop in outer corners and Strawberry in the outer corners and crease.
Needs more blending, the eyes are a bit uneven.
BF hates it. Says it makes the eyes appear small.



Kuna kaameral on kombeks toone leebematena näidata, on see siin tõeline karnevalimeik: üle lau Tangerine, sisenurgas Lemon Drop ning välisnurgas ja silmavaos Strawberry. Fotodelt on näha, et silmad on ebaühtlaselt tehtud ja et oleks vaja veel kõvasti hajutada. Meigibaas oli EDMi Sandy Fair ning selle peal MAD Minerals'i Baby Bronze: pildi järgi nagu ei usukski, mis? Nahk on siiski liiga valge selle kombinatsiooni jaoks. Päikesepuuder ei paista ka üldse välja - aga vahe kaelaga oli siiski tuntav.

Siin on aga link youtube videole, kus sarnane asi veidi uhkemal kujul tehtud.

EOTD Rainbow, another one

Changed the color placement - otherwise the same as the previous ones - and forgot to use mascara. TKB's Green Apple on lid, Grape in the crease and Lemon Drop in inner corners. Some Conservatorie's 18K Gold above crease. MAD Minerals Quietstorm as liner. EDM's Pearl Sunlight on the browbone and under the eyes. I did a very strong makeup this time but the camera still hides the colors.
EDM's Intensive Fair concealer as foundi.

EOTD Rainbow

EDM Cool Fair as foundation

Manhattan's eye shadow primer on the lids
A Breath of Spring all over lid
Lemon Drop in the inner corner
Green Apple as liner
Grape in the outer V and crease
(Green Apple is toned down a bit using Ivory Lace and Sparkle under the browbone, all blended well)

Pictures are taken midday, makeup applied 8am, creased like hell at 6 pm. Think these micas need a layer of powder on top of the primer.

Another look, same colors, made in April:

Archetype EOTDs vol 2

(Original thread is too picture-heavy, started a new one)

IHMO the Archetype's greenish-grayish tones are not very durable. The foundation alone is not firm enough base for them.
Ocean Mist's Bare as foundation, light to mid coverage and a tad too light... it has a pinkish undertone.
Colors used are Glass Coffin just under the brow line (invisible on the photos, imagine slightly turquoise sheen), The Gargoyle Trees all over lid, darker in the outer V, Little Grey Kitten in the inner corners, Wormwood (wet) as upper liner, Little Grey Kitten (wet) as lower liner.

The Gargoyle Trees, Deadly Nightshade and Wormwood are quite similar actually. Gargoyle Trees is more grayish dark green, Deadly Nightshade is greener dark green, Wormwood has some golden sheen in it too.

This one came out a tad too dark:

Colors used are St. Elmo's Fire in the middle, Epiphany in inner and outer corner,
Deep Sunless Sea as liner (wet).

This is here one of the rare occasions I use more then 2 colors.

first picture: eyes with just the primer: EDM's Sandy Fair (in matte) this time

The colors used are:
Green Goddess in the inner corners
Luna Sidhe in outer V
Weeping Willow (love) just under the browbone
no liner (simply slipped my mind)
all applied dry
also forgot to do the eyebrows...

on this one the colors seemed the most vivid:
and one large, blown up photo too:

Extremely sweet angelic look IMHO. Picked the colors by closing my eyes and taking 3 random baggies from the box. :)
