Quick Eyes with NARS Delphes & Outremer

This is just an eye look, because I had applied this was a wear test I was conducting with several of NARS' fall products, so I actually did not have anything else on my cheeks/lips at the time!  (In fact, this was a really rushed/hurried look, and I did not...

Look:  MAC Venomous Villains - Maleficent

I used all of the mineralize eyeshadows wet, and these photos were taken at least a half hour after applying (do you know how terrible I am at applying lashes?!), so the color stayed quite vibrant well after they dried.  I went for a greasepaint stick as a...

Look:  Urban Decay Black Palette

Can you tell that I used four eyeshadows in this look?  If you can, you earn a merit badge for excellent, discerning sight!  Despite looking and even swatching relatively distinctively, when used, the eyeshadows look rather similar.  Just kind of looks like an...

Glitter Makeup: Stila Jewel Eye Palette Look

Just decided to have a little fun with Stila's new glitter-tastic palette last night :) Didn't have too much fall out -- definitely apply less than you think you need, and then build up if you need to. (I tried two techniques - one on each eye; nearly...

Look: Lady Gaga Bad Romance Makeup Inspiration

I was watching Lady Gaga's Bad Romance Music Video yesterday, and I felt a little inspired by the bold makeup she's wearing around the four minute mark.
