I really LOVED the golden olive pigment and I had been wanting to use my Mildew shadow for so long that I just did it. I really loved the way it turned out. When I was done I was quite impressed with myself lol. (Even though I still have to use my staple black eyeliner)

**PS. I see you changed your text near your avitar lol**

I'm a "neutral" person too.. I think I have about a million shades of brown eyeshadow! LOL I get nervous with colors too - but the green looks great on you! You have really pretty blue eyes! Anthing other than brown shadows look weird on my brown eyes... so I think I might have to do colored contacts again! LOL Anyhooo ... Great pics!

at least i am not the only neutral freak around here lol.
It's really hard to break out of the neutral colors. And then i dont know if i should be matching clothes to my make up (since i wear pretty much purple, grey, black and blue) and will all these colors look frickin stupid or it doesn't matter. I have issues man lol

Thank you so much for the compliments.

I always wanted colored contacts but with my perscription they'd cost a frickin fortune and i don't know if i'd like my eyes any other color. (change makes me nervous i am a creature of habit if ya havn't noticed lol)

I do it with my nars lip lacquer palette and my MAC viva glam palette all the time.

THANKS FOR THE TIPS. HOW TO APPLY BLUSH? I AM NC45 C7

  • Apply a highligher just above the cupids bow of the lips to create a fuller look
  • Apply bronzer in a 3 motion touching the temples. cheekbones and jawline to mimic where the sun would naturally hit
