EOTD Brown: Australian Amber

Australian Amber all over lid
Ivory Lace used on the browbone for blending

Do not like Australian Amber, will sell or give away


Here's some more of Australian Amber (May 5, 2009):
This time Australian Amber is applied wet the first layer and dry the second, blended with Bronze Fine just above the crease, which is in turn blended in with Sandy Fair (EDM, intensive) just under the brow. Sandy Fair is also the foundation for the day. The liner is Simply Naturals' Sandlewood, my absolute fave.

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:

TKB's Zion Views eyeshadow.
