Today I put together a beautiful reader request of Faerie Glamour & Bustle. It turned into a gorgeous peacock look. I’d probably do a few things different, but not much, if I tried this again. It’s visually stunning in person. I started this look out differently than normal. While I’ll often use a white or skintone type shade on the crease and browbone to make it easier to blend colors, after I did that, I did sort of a swish ~ type of shape with Knight Divine. I wanted to have a slightly darker base color to blend Faerie Glamour and Bustle onto in the crease. I love the results.
As far as Feline goes, it lasts on my upper lash line no problem. It does smudge a bit on my lower lash line, even with primer. HOWEVER, this is why I don’t put mascara on my lower lash line, because it smears there, too. I really like Feline on my upper lash line. I haven’t tried it on my waterline yet.
NC15/NW20 is a bit darker/yellower than I expected, but if I blend it out with a brush, I like the results. Apparently, it can be used for a matte highlight anywhere on the face, too.

Hello Cotton
**WOW** beautiful combination!!
Thank you Persephone!
This is all blended so seamlessly, it’s almost hard to pick out the different colors – but it makes it even more lovely! I had to LOL that even your hair color matches this look ^.^
I have got Bustle, but is there any reasonably close match to Green Glow? As far as Faerie Glamour goes … I’m willing to bet there is no dupe for that shade. Have to pace myself, I just did a Fyrinnae order last month!
Thank you! I think using the base shade of Blanc Type and then the Knight Divine in the crease, it allowed me to blend these colors easily.
Green Glow is a pencil, but any yellow green eye shadow works.
Stunning. The colors a beautiful and compliment you so well!

Thanks so much Jaycee
I love this with your little hair clip and everything, so pretty! I just got Feline too, but I’ve only worn it on my waterline. Works pretty well, IMO. It’s very dark.
Annamax recently shared..Perplexed!
Aww thanks! It is DEFINITELY dark
Gorgeous look, flaless blending, beautiful girl. What more can anyone ask for.
Aww thank you Eplefe
Where’s the hair clip from?
Tempest recently shared..It’s Just Business
I bought it on Etsy, of course
http://www.etsy.com/shop/ACOriginals
Though I bought it in Sept. of 2009… and it doesn’t look like the shop is currently active.
I really love this shape on you- the lift at the outer corner of your eyes really suits you! <3 it!!!

Yay thank you!
You always look stunning in blue and this is no exception. Love deep colours on you, and that shot with your chin up is quite alluring.
Thank you so much R<3 <3 <3
That look is amazing!
I also love your hair bobble. Where did you get that if you don’t mind sharing?
Thanks! I linked the Etsy store above, but the seller seems to be inactive currently.
oh my, I love this combination, and feline really does look really nice and super dark! I also love the hairpiece, I think peacock hair accessories are awesome.

Thanks so much
What a stunning look especially with that hair clip. I was just looking for some inspiration for a blue look too!
Thanks Rebecca!
Wow, you look fabulous! I wish I could pull off blues like this. That last picture is one of the best I have seen of you.
Aww thank you Jessi

ARRRGH! Too much to comment on! Hm … let’s see if I get it all in …
Visually stunning and very peacock? AGREED! Gorgeous. LUV the winged-out eyeshadow. It’s a bit different for you, and DE-LISH.
Oh, there are those perfect eyebrows again. Seriously, the MOST. PERFECT. EYEBROWS. Fab.
CG Green Glow & Fyrinnae Futuristic Glam Rock on inner lower lash line, with MAC Dazzlelight on inner corners looks divine, mysterious, sexy … and a little bit naughty. (Don’t know why, but that’s what I’m seeing. It’s a good thing.)
The MAC Mineralise Skinfinish Natural definitely contours your cheeks, and makes the pink pop. Yum! (The 3rd pic from the bottom should be blown up to poster size and hung on a wall in your house. Or several walls. It’s that good.)
All that WITH your blue/black hair AND a peacock pin??? You’re KILLING ME!! It’s like awesome overload!
I hope you get “super complimentary” (which is my intent) from this and not “super creepy crazy woman”.
Jean recently shared..Weight Loss Aliley- Product Review- Brothers-All-Natural Freeze Dried Fruit Crisps- Apple Cinnamon
Thank you so much! I totally took ‘very complimentary’ I went with Dazzlelight because I thought it would be more subtle than Vellum, which is what I’ve been addicted to for months.
Oh, and *ahem* I meant to mention that I like the lighter waterline look on you. It’s a nice change from the black (or dark) liners. 2 thumbs up!
Jean recently shared..Weight Loss Aliley- Product Review- Brothers-All-Natural Freeze Dried Fruit Crisps- Apple Cinnamon
Woot! Yay thanks
I think I like it better than using Yeyo (white) right now, too.
Really pretty, goes well with the hair accessory

WOW. This looks amazing on you! It really works beautifully with your hair and eye colour. Overall a very other-worldy kind of look.
Thanks Cathryn
I have bookmarked this page. I need to do a look like this,like now!! It’s that awesome.
I LOVE the lighter waterline as compared to your usual Yeyo waterline? It’s fresh yet magically ethereal and only you can pull it off! * trots off to add Futuristic Glamrock to growing Fyrinnae list*…
Thank you! Yes I normally use either Yeyo (white) or Zero (black) on my waterline. Futuristic Glamrock is a favorite of mine
