Sometimes playing around with makeup can be the highlight of
my day, which really yells out that I am a beauty fanatic. A while ago I was
browsing around on Facebook and saw that Illamasqua had posted some gorgeous
crazy looks for inspiration, so I studied one of them and set to work
recreating the look on myself. I cannot for the life of me find that image, so
I do apologise! Just picture this look with more finesse, and nicer flicked
eyeliner!
I grabbed my Inglot palette, MAC Sweet &
Punchy (Veluxe Pearl) and my Smokin’ matte BYS palette and set to
work. I used this more as a makeup technique practise than anything else, but
do think that without the too-thick liner (and with tamed brows!) I could make this wearable
another time.
I like the idea of throwing a smokey haze of that dusty blue
into my crease, but I think it needs a good slap of black liquid liner (Australis
Curve Ink* is my pick right now, has anyone tried it yet?) and more mascara to make it work.
I think it is important to document a wide range of looks on
this blog, not just the ones that I like best. Seeing mistakes shows you that
playing with makeup is fun, and that it doesn’t have to be taken seriously all
the time.
How often do you delve into your makeup drawers just to play
around? Do you get crazy and recreate looks, or create new looks by yourself?
*Products were all bought by me, except the Australis liner
which I mentioned because it is my current favourite. Honesty, always.
