The eye palette is called Violet Storm, and it is still available on beauty.com for $32 USD. It's gorgeous. The blue shade is a little stiffer and less pigmented than the other shades in the palette, but I find the color shows up with no problem over a primer.

My earrings kind of match the rainbow-ness of the eyeshadow:
I really love the way this turned out. It took a little longer to do than my makeup usually takes me, what with all the blending and such, but I think it was worth it.
P.S. These photos look weird to me -- like they've been airbrushed in certain areas. I don't retouch my photos. Does anyone know if Blogger does this automatically or something?
You've created an amazing eye look! Reminds me of the wings of a shimmery blue butterfly.
ReplyDeleteYour eye look is absolutely stunning. It's making me want to run (make my fingers run?) to beauty.com right now to grab that palette. That is very strange about the photos - I definitely see what you mean, they have kind of a "soft focus" look to them. Try this - go to your Google+ page, go to the settings menu (under the drop-down menu in the top left), scroll down to Photos & Videos, and make sure "auto enhance" is turned off. That might be the source of your mysterious glowiness, lol.
ReplyDeleteI love this look on you. Perfect for spring!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rebecca! The auto-enhance was set to normal, so I turned it off. Whew. I knew something was up because the photos looked different from how they look in iphoto. I don't think all my photos have looked "enhanced" in the past. At least I hope not. Thanks, again, for the help!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Erin! I love butterflies, so that is a huge compliment in my book.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tanya! The colors are quite spring-y, although you know I'd wear this any time of the year!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! I love the colour gradient. You look just absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Chelle! I will admit, the blending was time-consuming, but totally worth it.
