Sushi Flower

I based my look today around a central color, Sushi Flower. I have no idea why I love this color so much, but I do. I do wish it had a bit of violet iridescence to it, but it’s a pretty pinky-coral shade. It looked awesome with Grey‘s Lucia and Cranberry Champagne. I like how Vapour worked with the shades, too.

Eyes:
Too Faced Shadow Insurance
MAC Vapour – all over eye area
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy – outer 3/4 of lid
MAC Sushi Flower- middle of lid and crease
Evil Shades Lucia – outer 1/4 of lid
Evil Shades Cranberry Champagne – lower crease
Wet n’ Wild Black Creme liner – upper lash line
MAC Chromagraphic Pencil in NC15/NW20 – lower water line
Urban Decay 24/7 Pencil in Asphyxia – inner lower lash line
Urban Decay 24/7 Pencil in Rockstar- outer lower lash line
Flirt! It Curls Mascara in Bombshell Black

Cheeks:
MAC blush in Full Fuchsia
Sobe Blush in Two to Tango

Face:
Hard Candy Welcome Matte mattifying powder
Meow Purrfect Puss foundation in Inquisitive Siamese
MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Medium Dark – to contour

Lips:
MAC Lipliner in Summerfruit
Spell Cosmetics Gloss in Red-coral with violet iridescence

Shade Descriptions:
Vapour – peach pink with violet pearl
Sushi Flower – pinky-coral with pink shimmer
Lucia – a bright bold red with bright pink shimmer and subtle violet shift
Cranberry Champagne – a deep cranberry with red tones and golden shimmer
Full Fuchsia – a very bright iridescent fuchsia
Two to Tango – orange coral with red shimmer
Asphyxia – pinky iridescent purple
Rockstar – darkest eggplant

I need to find an indie equivalent of Sushi Flower with a bit of violet iridescence and better color payoff. I can be so hard to get Sushi Flower to show up! Pixie Epoxy came to the rescue today though :)

      Yes! pinky-coral with pink shimmer and violet iridescence :)

      Thanks! The trick I’ve found is not having a pink at the inner corner. Pink at the inner corner makes me look ill.

        OMG Andrea that would be sooo amazing! :)

    I love this! Sushi Flower is very pretty, and I love the name, it even sounds pretty :)

      I like the name, too :)

    Sushi Flower is one of the best names I’ve ever heard. And the color is so pretty, too!

    • Phyrra January 18, 2011 at 1:07 pm #

      I do like the name, and I like the color, but the color payoff is lacking without a lot of effort. Pixie Epoxy to the rescue!

  6. Quiara January 16, 2011 at 10:55 pm #

    You look FANTASTIC in those colours! You can wear pretty much any colour and look amazing, but I’m always jealous of your pink/red looks. I can only wear reds with oranges/yellows. It’s flame or nothing. ^_^

      Thanks! I can’t do oranges or yellows easily, trust me :)

    Hard to get Sushi Flower to show up you say? Well, that’s an understatement. I can’t stand most MAC eyeshadows, they are hard to apply and blend and don’t show up unless you put on tons of it. This look turned out great, it looks like that Pixie Epoxy really did the trick.

      Yes, Pixie Epoxy is a miracle!

    So beautiful!

    I’m definitely re-creating this once I get Lucia and CC. Don’t have Sushi Flower but I’ll replace it with Aromaleigh’s Hot Stuff or maybe Hibiscus..

    • keijukainen January 17, 2011 at 4:27 am #

      Sorry, I’m spamming today but I just got my Evil Shades package and I love everything! I’m going to try this look right now.

      Also if you love hot pink lips, get Not your Barbie NOW. It’s gorgeous! Just like the lip swatch on the website.

    • Phyrra January 18, 2011 at 1:09 pm #

      Yay! I think Hot Stuff mixed with something would work.

  10. The Peach January 17, 2011 at 10:38 am #

    Love the contrast of the light inner corner color and the dark pink. And the purple on the lower lashline is a nice pop of color!

      Thanks Peach! I thought the purple would work well, too.

    I’m sure you’ve answered this question before, but I’m new on the scene:

    Is there ANY color you can’t wear beautifully???

      Orange and yellows are HARD.

  13. Julia Mathias January 17, 2011 at 11:14 pm #

    Pixie Epoxy always saves my day, I don`t know what I would do without it! It not only makes my cheap eyeshadows actually show, but it also makes them stay perfect for hours. It`s the definition of holy grail for me.

      It works really well, except through excessive crying, on me.

    Sushi Flower looks so much more amazing on you!

    • Phyrra January 18, 2011 at 1:15 pm #

      Aww thanks!
