A Wicked Mantis Look

This look was influenced by a look of Jacqueline’s from A Brilliant Brunette. I had a lot of fun throwing this look together today.

Eyes:
Too Faced Shadow Insurance
Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencil in Pacific – on lid
Meow Mantis – on lid
Aromaleigh Desire – in crease, blended up
Aromaleigh Snapdragon – just a bit on top of Desire, blended up
Fyrinnae Wicked – outer vee blended inward, lower lash line
MAC Dazzlelight – inner corners of eye and to highlight
Aromaleigh Gel Eyeliner in Black Out – thinly along upper lash line
Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Yeyo – lower water line
Benefit BadGal Mascara in Black

Cheeks:
MAC Pigment in Pink Pearl

Face:
Purely Cosmetics Skin Smoothing Foundation in Fair Maiden
Meow Morpho – to highlight
Purely Cosmetics Diamond Perfect Finishing Powder

Lips:
Nyx Jumbo Lip Pencil in Hera
Nyx Mega Shine Lip Gloss in African Queen

I also painted my nails again yesterday.
Main Color – China Glaze Reggae to Riches
Ring Fingers – China Glaze Tempest

I LOVE duochromes and these two colors are perfect in that respect!

    Hi Suzie,
    Thanks so much :)
    I really like that light aqua blue shade on my lids sometimes. I feel like it opens my eyes up.
    Reggae to Riches is a great China Glaze color, and you can find it at any Sally's. It is very close to the lips! That's why I grabbed the lippy :) Thanks!

    Hiya! Not sure how I missed this one, but I really love it. Great colors that I never would've thought to put together.

    And, I have a request. I'd love to see you in some more of your Archetype colors if possible. I love how bright they are. Thanks for considering! :)

    Hi Katrina,
    Which colors would you like to see?
    Most of the Archetype colors are a bit sheerer and much more sparkly, but I'm sure I can pull something off :)
    Also, peruse the Fyrinnae colors or Aromaleigh's Rocks if you like bright ones!

    Morning! Any are totally fine. Just wanted to see the finish, etc. Of course, I have loads of AL but I find I don't touch the Rocks stuff very often – I'll have to look at them again today. I just got one order from Fyrinnae and another just shipped. LOVE them (especially Starfish as a lippie). :)

    Thanks so much!!

    this is beautiful! I love the lips. Have you ever tried Medusa's Makeup lipgloss ? There's a color that I think you'd like :) It's called Gossip. Check it out if you have the chance, and let me know if you like it!

    Hi Katrina,
    Ok. Their finish is mostly uber sparkly. I'll put a look together this week ;)
