Neutrals, Oranges, and Greens

I have amassed quite a bit of FOTDs lately as I have been either too lazy or too tired to post them. As a result, I think (I hope not) I have forgotten some of the products I used for these. I remember vividly though the foundations I used for these looks: Joppa, DreamWorld, and Meow (with a layer of Oceanmist underneath). I love these brands as they control my oilies and yet do not make my skin super dry. I am always amazed by the ultra-smooth finish these foundations give.

For this first look, I used my limited edition and rare MAC eyeshadow in Sunplosion for the first time. Yes, the first time. I'd wanted to really pack it on so that the beautiful vividness of the coppery orange could be seen, but I didn't have the time. Also, I didn't want to wear a very bright eye look for work, so this would have to do. I did commit a cosmetic mortal sin, though - I totally forgot to put on (the horror!) - mascara! I was such in a hurry that it completely slipped my mind. I know, eye makeup without mascara looks funky to say the least - but hey, nobody's perfect!

Here's a green look featuring some of my MAC aquas and greens that I've been neglecting recently. I can't believe I've forgotten how buttery smooth these glide on my lids and staying power and color pay-off are amazing as always. I used Surreal on the lid, Guacamole mid-lid, Humid and Greensmoke on crease and outer V. I used Vanilla pigment to highlight and on inner corners, and Nightfish fluidline. I used my favorite DreamWorld mineral foundation mix in Theia and Tethys. This time, since I am getting a bit darker, I used a teensy weensy amount of Tethys and added some more Theia.

Finally, here's a neutral look using Franchesca's (Adorned With Minerals) eyeshadows and Oceanmist foundation in Dandelion for my first layer, then Meow Flawless Feline foundation in Naughty Abyssinian as my second layer. This is my first time to mix (well, layer) two different brands together and it wasn't a disaster, IMO. I used Lumiere's Pure Silk finishing powder in Sand over it. I applied Lumiere blush in Au Naturale to finish the look
