My little boy partly hidden; he rode with my brother.
All those activities done under the scorching 95 degree sun really made me darker than when I first entered the farm that morning. NOW I have to revamp my mineral foundation shades! Aaarrggghh. The quest continues for my perfect summer shade. In this look, I used Monave foundation in Saturnina which seemed okay because it used to be a little dark on me. Now, I can wear this shade straight without mixing.
That night, I brought my brothers (who are vacationing with us) to meet with some of my friends and their friends (we were 13 in all) at a club. Here's a smokey silver look I wore for that night. Let me be the first to say that I wish I'd done it more smokey grey than silver, because I feel that the silver overwhelmed the smokiness I was trying to project. Oh well, maybe next time.
Here's a step-by-step illustration. All products MAC unless otherwise stated.
Apply Beige-ing shadestick all over lid and browbone up to the brow, blending with forefinger. Apply Silver Fog pigment foiled on lid.
Apply Rondelle from inner to mid-lid over Silver Fog using a shader brush (239 or similar).
Apply Silver Ring shadow blended with Knight Divine eyeshadow on outer lid using 222 brush.
Now I don't have close-up photos of the next step as I was in a hurry, but this is a similar look from a past silver eye look I posted on this blog. The difference is that I didn't apply Rondelle over Silver Fog, and in my current look, I applied the eyeshadow higher on my lid, going past the crease. Anyways, I used Carbon eyeshadow to deepen the crease, applied Nylon and Ricepaper eyeshadows to highlight, applied Blacktrack fluidline on upper lashline and Graphblack technakohl to waterline. I applied Rondelle on inner lower lashline and Pandamonium on outer lower lashline. I also used the same type of falsies, Ardell #105.
Just a note: I didn't over-do my blush. =D I turn really red when I drink alcohol because I am allergic to it. That said, I only had one drink and that was it. The rest were Shirley Temples. =D
