I really haven’t done many looks using Orange eyeshadow as the main color and I have been doing a lot of frosty winter looks; I just wanted to change it up a bit. This look is toned down but still has a lot of color.

I started the look by highlighting my brow bone, by applying Cream eyeshadow

On my eyelids I applied Orange-Red eyeshadow (the eyeshadow is a matte = no shine or shimmer)

Over the Orange-red eyeshadow I applied Safety Orange eyeshadow (this one has a very high shine, lots of shimmer)

In the creases of my eyes I applied Raw Umber eyeshadow (this one is matte)

Over the Raw Umber eyeshadow I blended Chamoisee eyeshadow (Very high Shimmer)

Finished the look but lining my eyes with Dark Brown eyeliner, both the top and bottom lid.

On my waterline I used Black eyeliner.

On eyelashes I used Dark Brown mascara

I lightly applied Carrot Orange Blush to my cheeks

On my lips I used an almost nude lipgloss, just wanted to give my lips a little bit of shine without a lot of color.

It’s only a month away, the premier of Alice in Wonderland. Don’t know how many of you are waiting for this movie but I am. After looking at all the picture from the movie I was inspired to do a makeup look. For my makeup look I choose The Mad Hatter; who is played by Johnny Deep :>

This is the picture of my inspiration:

This look is really theatrical, but wanted to make it wearable and this is what I came up with:

First I started by applying Laura Mercier Eye Basics in Cotton to my whole eye lid. I did this to make a blank canvas, in other words mute out the color of my skin tone. It’s easier to work over no color, then over butterscotch.

Then I highlighted my brow bone applying Seashell eye shadow (here in the picture the eyeshadow looks White, it is White but it has more of a Gold tone when you apply it)

On my eye lids I applied Ghost White eyeshadow; I also applied a little of the Ghost White eyeshadow to my bottom lids, more so in the inner corner of the eyes.

In the creases of my eyes I applied Electric Blue eyeshadow

Under my eye starting from the outer corner working the color to the inner corner of the eye, I applied Brick Red eyeshadow

To finish my eyes I applied Black eyeliner to my waterline and just the outer corners of my eyes, and Very Black mascara to my eye leashes.

On my cheeks and lips I just wanted a hint of color.

On my cheeks I lightly dusted a Pale Pink blush

On my lips I used Sally Hansen’s Natural Butter Lips Shine in Bloom

Hope you like the look

This is one of my favorite looks from Mac’s Spring Colour 4 Forecast Collection. I think I like this look because it uses two of my favorite colors Yellow and Purple.

Here is the Face Chart of Almondine:

This is my take on Almondine (note: I didn’t have the picture of Almondine in front of my when I did this look, did everything by memory. So this look is not 100% Almondine it’s just my take on the look.)

First on my eyelids I applied Mustard eye shadow (the eye shadow is two-tone and when it blends on my eye it’s like a Yellowy/Orange color)

On the outer corner of my eyelids I applied Amber eye shadow

In the creases of my eyes I applied Russet eye shadow

Under my eyes I lightly dusted Gold eye shadow

Also on my under eye on the outer corner I applied Violet eye shadow working it in to the inner corner of my eye.

To finish my eyes I just Black eyeliner on my waterline, and Very Black mascara on my eye leashes.

On my cheeks I used Gamboge(Peachy Orange) blush

On my lips I applied Sally Hansen’s Natural Butter Lip Shine in Bloom

Winter is almost over, Spring is just around the corner.

I really like the mismatching of the nail color; so I turned it into a makeup look.

This look is both bright and dark at the same time

I started by adding a base color to eyes, from the lids to the brow bones.

Any skin matching eye shadow will do; the eye shadow I used Creamy Nude

On my eye lids I applied a Hot Pink matte eyeshadow

Over the Hot Pink matte eyeshadow I dusted a shimmer bright Pink eyeshadow

In the creases of my eyes I applied Dark Silver-Gray eyeshadow

Over the Silver-Gray eyeshadow I dusted a Silver-purple eyeshadow

In the deep creases of my eyes I applied a mix of two different Black eyeshadows; I mixed them because one had more pigment and the other had more shimmer.

Under my eyes I applied a thin line of Sky Blue eyeshadow, to darken the color up a little I did blend it with Black eyeliner.

I lined the outer corners of my eyes with Black eyeliner, as while as my waterline.

Finished the look with Black mascara and a hint of Nude lip color

Nails were inspired by Megan Fox for Jennifer’s Body

In this look here all the nails are Pink expect the middle finger

Which is painted Black

For  my Pink I used Sally Hansen’s Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in Hot Megenta

And for my Black I used Wet ‘N’ Wild’s Black Creme

Finished look will look something like this

Here is a fun look that I never posted; it’s a bright spring look.

On my eye lids I applied Green-Yellow eye shadow

On the outer corners of my eyes I applied Jade eye shadow

In the creases of my eyes I applied Dodger Blue eye shadow

I did line my eyes with Black eyeliner and coated my eye lashes with very Black mascara. On my lips I think I used a Cranberry lip gloss; but any lite pale Pink color will do.
