Fiddled with some of my Ben Nye pigments and tested out the new Lancome Maquiliquide foundation (review coming soon). I desperately need a hair cut *groans*

Nice! I *love* colourful looks from you! I wish more M'sian women would wear more colours other than browns. This is really pretty!!

jojoba said...

did you wear coloured contacts? i kept staring at your eyes and wondering how beautiful they are and match your eye shadow colours brilliantly. and the top too!

i really love your eye makeup!!!! and i wanna bite your lips! why is it tht i always look like a witch when i line my lower lash?

Chloevien said...

Gorgeous,can't wait to try this:) Just two question:
*Did you use blacktrack on you waterline or that blue pigment?
*Just wondering, you can pull beatiful pale lips look and your lipglosses (whatever colors you use) look always so vibrant on you. Do you put some concealer first on your lips? If you have natural pale lips, I'm gonna be soooo jealous, hehehe. Thank you.....

Very unique and nice color combo!! The lips are definitely kiss worthy! :D

Salsia said...

Wow I love this look and the colours used! Btw I really think that your eyebrows are nicely done :D

Jenn said...

So pretty!!! Blues and Greens are my favourite combi!! And your lips look so lush too!!

Connie De Alwis said...

Plue: Awh, thanks :)

Erynn: Thank you! Try sheer washes of color... build up from there and you'll eventually get hooked!

Puss: Thank you! I wish that too! I've started to adore neutrals (especially when smoked) but I still love using colors although people will tend to look at me funny *sighs*

Jojoba: Colored contacts, they are :) Green contacts go well with green eyeshadow it seems. hehe.

Verina: Thanks! I'm sure you can do looks like these if you try :)

Connie De Alwis said...

Pretty: Don't give me ulcer yeah... :p Maybe you can try lining with more neutral or light colors first? that should help you get used to lining the lower lashline. and you can try just lining half and then blend the color inwards so that it won't look too harsh

Chloevien: Thank! I hope you'll like this look on you too :) Nothing on the waterline but the blue pigment. I have "naturally" pale lips thanks to eczema, frequent peeling and steroid ointments. Silver lining! ;)I think concealer's too creamy to make the lips nude before applying a lip color. It may wash out the lip color. I'd suggest using a nude lip liner to fill in the entire lips. MUFE has one specifically to make the lips nude for pale lip colors.

Kavukz: thanks :) I've started to be light handed on the brows so that they don't look too bold

Kay: Thanks :) I didn't think I'd like the color at first but I totally do now!

Shopn'Chomp: That's sweet of you. Thank you :)

Connie De Alwis said...

Nikki: You're too smart! most definitely I can't stare through your brains. I'd be too busy staring at all the fascinating things going on in your mind. hehe. Thanks, sweetie ;)

Cookies: Thank you! :D

Fuz: Aww... thanks! *muaks* free kissies for ya!

Salsia: Thank you! I'll take this as a cue that I should do my brows like this more often ;)

Jenn: Thanks :D I like blues and greens together too but I haven't worn them in awhile.

gio said...

This look is gorgeous, as always. I really like this color combo.
