Gothic Eyes

I fancied doing something a bit different today, using some of my eye shadows and pigments that I haven't dipped into for a while. Generally speaking I don't tend to like going heavy on my eyes and lips but I'm having a red lippy week for #TheRedLippyProject which is raising awareness for cervical cancer screening with The Eve Appeal Charity, so decided to go colourful but not too heavy. 

After a couple of glossy red days I wanted, no needed, a matte red lip today so lined and filled with Illamasqua's Strumpet Medium Pencil and patted Vamp, a matte red lippy by Illamasqua over the top.

What do you think of my eyes? My friend Moira and her toddler Amy had a bit of a shock when I answered the door to them this afternoon!

Tribal Eyes

Today I started off planning to do a look with clean, simple eyes, a bit of eyeliner and a purple lip colour I brought recently but I went off on a bit of a tangent and seem to have created a bit of a tribal eye look.

 

Very current I guess - tribal prints are all over the high street at the mo.



 

 

It's a green day

After a going purple crazy yesterday I thought I'd try a green look today.

I used to wear green a lot but I think maybe I got tired of it or started to feel it was a bit obvious for brown eyes, so haven't worn it for ages.

I brought a green metalic liquid eyeliner by BarryM yesterday so built the look around that, using different shades of green on my lids, in my socket and under my eyes then lifting the look by adding a wash of a warm brown across my brow bone. 

I did try the look with a glossy orange lip colour which you can see in the bottom pic but, as usual, I wiped it off and went with a nude gloss. I really like it (the top pic) as there is still a hint of orange on my lips under the gloss.

I'll definitely be wearing green again, especially the liner which is a pretty forest green colour with added shimmer as it's metallic. Plus cheap as chips (£4.79 in Boots) as it's by BarryM!
