If you check out my eye looks here in my blog, you'd notice that I'm not really into smokey eyes. I feel that my eyes become too harsh when I pile on too dark eyeshadow or liner. I finally got over my fear of crossing over to the "dark side" when I saw my Blackground paint pot languishing forlornly in my drawer, and I'd hate to see it go to waste. I used it as my base today and picked up a generous amount of MAC Forest Green pigment and placed on my lid. I then used my Shu Uemura ME Blue 638 eyeshadow and applied it on my inner to a little past the mid lid. I took the time blending as I wasn't used to blending really dark pigments. I then used Indelible gel liner in Magnetism with a thick eyeliner brush to make a not-so-fine line, then used MAC Delphic fluidline on the bottom lashline with MAC Teal pigment over it, then black mascara. I used Beige-ing shadestick above the crease to the browbone as a base and used MAC Lustreleaf eyeshadow to highlight.

Hey! I just stumbled on to your page on Specktra, and I'm currently readin past post and I love it! Keep it up :)
I love this look, the blues look very good on you
Aww thanks kyarorain! I'm still learning (as I said I'm not a professional MA), but thank you for the kind words! :)
Since you seem to be the know it all when it comes to mineral foundation, I'd like to ask for some shade advice.
I see that you in Meow Cosmetics use the colors Naughty & Frisky MAnz, which is what I think I'd wear.
I'm NC30 in MAC, and Medium Beige in BE, so my question is, what shade do you think I'd be in everyday minerals? I mean since we seem to have around the same coloring (I'm half asian)
I would suggest try the Light Winged Butter of Everyday Minerals; I've heard a lot of girls my coloring wear that shade in EM. Goodluck!
Pretty!
