Absinthe

Have you ever tried doing your makeup, liking or loving the result, only to find a number of things you wanted to change with the look when you take pictures of it?
This was one of those times for me...

While I love the green color (thanks, Kryolan UV green and Sugarpill Absinthe!) the liner is wonky (thanks, MAC Shade fluidline for drying out on me) and I completely forgot to put on lashes! Man, I wanted to wear lashes with this! Oh well ;)

Futuristic Glamrock

As far as eyeshadows go, Fyrinnae is probably the brand with the most interesting colors! I definitely rediscovered my love for Futuristic Glamrock and Parental Advisory with this look.

Anime

It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of pink. Especially when it's neon and on my lips.
Thanks, Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics, for making this awesome color!

Red. Purple. Gold.

Purple and red is a long time favorite of mine as far as color combinations go. Add a little gold and I'm in love!
This look turned out a bit darker than I intended thanks to the dramatic black liner.

And I have no idea what's up with all the nude lips lately. Challenge to myself: The next look I post needs to be featuring BRIGHT GLITTERY lips. Or something like that...

Grande Lumiere

I used to use my Ben Nye Grande Lumiere palette all the time. Probably because I got it when I was first getting into makeup and wanted everything BRIGHT and SHINY.
Looking at that palette really makes me think about how much my makeup style has changed. I'm still head over heels in love with bright colors and glitter but it seems to be in a very different way.
At least I like to think that there's more attention to the details in the looks that I do now compared to the "one bright color on the lid and another bright color in the crease and I'm done"-type of looks that I used to do.

And so I give you a quick look inspired by the 17-year-old me* with the help of my beloved Ben Nye palette!
