I have done a look today for the upcoming Christmas party season. It is quite daring and not for everyone, but I like to have fun with make-up and especially love green against my eyes. I have used a mixture of products, but most are very inexpensive and available from Superdrug or Boots.

All the coloured pigments I used were from Barry M, Superdrug is currently running a promotion of 3 Dazzledusts for £10 which is great value. I covered my lid with MAC paint in Bare Canvas to give a nice sticky base for the pigment. Then using homemade mixing medium (1 part glycerin to 3 parts water) I made a nice paste of each pigment. Far far easier to work with and no annoying fall out. Yay!!

I then took it a bit further, couldn’t resist!
I added a splash of red to the corners to make the look really young & fun :)
Please excuse the eyebrows, I have ruined my tweezers by using them to perform a number of non tweezer related jobs (ie DIY things that actually required pliers). Ooops :P

Eyes

  • MAC Paint in Bare Canvas (all over eye to prep)
  • Barry M Dazzle Dust in Emerald 72 (lid & up into crease)
  • Barry M Dazzle Dust in Lime 75 (inner third of lid)

  • Collection 2000 Glam Crystals Gel Eye Liner in Pizzazz (over the 24/7 on the lower lash line)
  • MAC Plush Lash Mascara in Plushblack

love it, love it, love it girl! That looks so great, you are very experimental I must say. You have inspired me to sort out my eyeshadows and start doing some experimenting myself!

Cool :) I think its so easy to play it safe, especially with eyeshadow but if you can't have fun during party season then when can you? I love the Barry M pigments, they do some gorgeous colours and they are cheap as chips!
