Smoky black!
Since Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, I decided to try the look from the Illamasqua Throb collection. I mentioned it here.

Of course you know that I omitted the white pancake makeup and made it more wearable. Application was soft. Cute. Soft cut crease. Pink cheeks. Here it is:
Two LOTDs in one week?? Wheeeeeey!!
Browsing the MUFE boutique and saw this promo image for their Rock For Ever collection.

Hot, right??? I had to recreate this look. It’s certainly not an everyday look but if you are wearing a black or silver Carnival costume, this would be a stunning look! Add some glitter on the lid or rhinestones and it would be all over!
The Rock For Ever collection was released late last year and is a series of trial-sized mini sets of Aqua pencils, Star Powders, mascara etc. housed in a studded container. Cute. Especially the Best of MUFE collection set.
This features a smoky eye, cut crease and winged liner, and I was up for the challenge!!!
Here is what I came up with…..
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…
