I tried a black and gold look today because of people talking about doing looks with gold in the lj community eyeshadowsluts. This is what I ended up coming up with.

I seem to be paying attention more to blush these days. I was reminded today just how PERFECT Corset is for a red blush. At least, I think it looks perfect on me. It worked really well for this look, though I wasn’t entirely happy with how the eyes turned out. Dave said he’d like to see me try it with teal instead of black, so I’ll probably do that. Also, I think the Black Cherry mascara was fun. I need to find reasons to wear it more. It’s pretty and that’s the first time I’ve used it. This look feels more like a winter look to me.

Also, I tried Concrete Minerals Electric Eye Primer today for the first time. I’ve had my shadows on for 10 hours and there’s absolutely no creasing. The primer looks slightly shimmery, like UDPP Sin or MAC Paint Pot in Bare Study, but I applied a very thin coat from my lash line to my eyebrows. The MAC Greasepaint stick and the loose minerals I applied on it have stayed in place, stayed true to color, and had minimal fall out. So that’s not bad for my first time trying it. Have you tried Concrete’s Electric Eye Primer?

What do you think of the look?

I saw in an lj community that Shrinkle was going to be passing out Sugarpill Cosmetics eye shadow samples if you purchased from her ebay store. So I placed an order and she sent me two eye shadow samples, a gold and a silver. I was finally able to wear them today, and I REALLY like the gold. It’s very metallic. The silver is very frosty, and it’s ok.

Lots of pictures so hopefully you can see how pretty the gold shade is.

Lips:

Revlon Matte lipstick in Pink Pout

I think Pink Pout looks nice.

To me, the gold eye shadow is gorgeous, even if I’m not a huge gold fan. It’s super pigmented, applies easily, lasts pretty well, and looks great on me. The silver is nice, but it’s not nearly as metallic, it’s just more of a frosty shade. If all of her shadows are like these, I think people will love them.

What do you think of the Sugarpill eye shadows?
