Too Faced I’m Guilty FOTD

Posted on April 24, 2009 by Phyrra

I had so much fun with this look today. I was thinking about dragons that could shapeshift into humans, and how they’d keep their coloring. So I decided that this look is a sky blue dragon with gold accents. I’ve always wanted to try Ryunome with a gold blush anyways. I think it looks pretty … read more

Chocolat crème eyes

Posted on April 23, 2009 by Phyrra

I tried an unexpected look today. I used Dreamworld Minerals Chocolat crème for my lid color, because it’s such a pretty color and texture. I’m not sure that I like the crease color I paired with it, but I don’t think it looks bad. Dave liked the Chocolat color as well. The silk crèmes definitely … read more

Posted on April 20, 2009 by Phyrra

Ok, some of you may not like what I have to say, but after playing with The She Space eye shadows some more, I really feel like their eye shadows are hit or miss. They just don’t seem to be consistently pigmented. Electric Lust should have been more pigmented or brighter, and just seemed a … read more
