Hey!
So I am finally getting around to using one of the new Makeup For Ever Metal Effect Powders in #2, Maize Gold. Brilliant burnished golden powder. I had no problems using this colour. Intense pigmentation, finely milled, easy to use. I paired it with one of the few matte pigments that I have, M.A.C. Smoke Signal from the Smoke Signals collection. It’s a deep, burgundy, shimmer-free colour. Quite original.
Anyway here’s the look…

The summer went by super fast!! I cyah believe that’s it’s almost over ! 🙁
I went to a fabulous rooftop barbeque this weekend and decided to end the summer as I began….with Firecracker eyeshadow, one of the gems from the On The Beach collection from M.A.C. I also made use of my new favourite product, SuperSlick Liquid Eye Liner in On the Hunt. Here’s how it came out:
Decided to play around with my new Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Loose Color pigment that I received from the wonderful David Klasfeld. Everyone talks about OCC’s liptars but y’all should not sleep on their loose pigments!!! They have a lot of unique shimmers that are finely milled, smooth and highly pigmented and they have quite a few matte pigments. The colour of the day is Wasabi – a midtone yellow-green with gold shimmer. This looks just like wasabi, just like it!

So here’s the look!
Hey guys!!!
It is blazin’ hot here in NYC and in keeping with the weather, I have been doing some very subtle looks, just hints of colour. I love my bright, full colour looks, but sometimes a softer look is best. I was inspired by this picture of la dominicana hermosa Zoe Saldana.

This works for those afraid, or don’t know where to put colour. Enjoy and keep cool!!!
Hey!!!
So here’s a look that I wore at night.
Blue Iridescence
I was inspired by beetle’s wings and decided to do a blue iridescent look. It’s a little bright, with the light, shimmery teal and a little smokey. Good for a summer night out, and black mascara completes the look!!!
