Shades Of U Contest: Holiday Look # 15 From Joni

Here's an absolutely stunning look from Joni of Oak Forest, Illinois, USA. I was impressed with her unique idea of combining greens with purples. Purple is not a very well-known Christmas color compared to golds, metallics and reds, but Joni managed to make it look gorgeously festive. I'm also in love with her beautiful blending of the colors, the progression of the shades from light to dark, and the overall look. I love the softness of Joni's cheeks and lips to balance the somewhat smokey eyes, and the cheeks offer a subtle sparkle that totally speaks of the holidays. Joni used my favorite MAC eyeshadows and the superior quality of the pigment readily shows in the pictures. The falsies put the final touch to the awesome look. Very impressive indeed.
