I saw a screening of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides last night. I liked it, but it its nothing to write home about. I've also been playing Lego Pirates of the Caribbean lately since my roommate brought it home. It's super fun! In honor of pirates, I decided to do a really shiny gold look. And here it is:Eyes
outer corner: EyeKandy - metallic mineral shadow in Creamsicle, applied wet for extra oomph.
inner corner: Smashbox shadow and liner trio in Girls Night Out (the light gold shade) applied with a larger brush and then blended like fuck to get it to fade into the metallic
crease: MAC pigment in blue brown
just above the crease: Inglot shadow, a shimmery pumpkin orange
highlight: MAC pressed shadow in Shroom
liner: Smashbox shadow and liner trio in Girls Night Out... its a brown gel liner, applied to both upper and lower lids
inner liner: MAC Pen-Ultimate liner, very very narrow and precise, just for definition
on top of both liners i put Urban Decay Heavy Metal liner in Baked for some glitter to add to the shine
waterline: Beautique eyeliner pencil in black (since all pirates apparently wear black eyeliner)
mascara: Smashbox DNA mascara in black, then a layer of Peter Thomas Roth lashes to die for on top of that.
Face
foundation primer: Makeup Forever HD Primer in Neutral
foundation: Smashbox Healthy FX foundation in L3 (which is a bit too dark for me right now, but won't be as summer progresses)
concealer: MAC, the kind in the little pot
powder: Inglot
blush: Inglot
lips: Kat Von D lipgloss in Rocker (its a pretty reddish/gold shade)
I think today that I used every brand of makeup that I have in my collection. Good for me :)Don't forget to follow me on twitter: @vortexofsin!
I have over the last few years discovered my unhealthy obsession with make up and beauty products in general.
As I learn, I will share it with the world. I don't always swear by the most expensive products on the market. Sometimes the cheapest is the best value for your money.
I have no formal training in the field of makeup. I do have an Art degree, which helps a little with color theory and application. It also makes me a HUGE sucker for pretty packaging...
Vortex of Sin is an inside joke with my girlfriends. They know what it means. And I'm not telling. It has nothing to do with actual Judeo-Christian sin.
