Easter look #2

Hellooooo.

 So today was cloudy and rainy & totally NOT a good day to end Zoya week on... so I'll continue that tomorrow, if the weather allows :)

Instead, I decided to try my hand at another Easter look, this time something a bit more bold.

After surfing Google images a bit, I saw this look recreated a few times, so I figured I'd have a go at it.

Here's my version!

*eyeliner

*no eyeliner

** fluorescent lighting, no flash

* indoor, flash

Voila!

No obviously this isn't a look I'd do out in public with to the grocery or something, but it was super fun to do. This is probably the craziest I've ever done, & it definitely got me excited to try some more.

I used:

Too Faced's Shadow Insurance

'metallic yellow' from Ulta palette on corners

Urban Decay's 'Graffiti' (green)

UD's 'Peace' (blue)

UD's 'Junkshow' (pink)

UD's 'Ranson' on brow bone

Woo!

I feel like this is super festive and fun xD

What do you guys think?!

Have a good night!

 hello all!

so much for the subtle looks- today I felt quite playful. Thus, i went with one of my favorite bold looks! Applying this look today made me even MORE anxious for my brushes, because though blending with my finger is fine, I could achieve a much more refined look with brushes :/ oh well!

* i can't get over how it doesn't look the same here as it does in real life :/ humph. Also, this was taken pre-eyeliner

*both eyes, obvi

* look when eyes are open!


Behold! my feisty little number. I don't wear this look (or any bright shades, for that matter) quite as often as I used to, due to the fact that I feel it makes me look younger... and seeing as how i usually have my 2 month daughter in tow with me- i don't want to look 16. I never really gave a damn what people thought about me until I became a mother. I'm still not so sure why I care if they think i look 16 or my actual age.... i guess because they're not just judging my person anymore, but judging what kind of mother I am? I don't know. It's dumb, i know :/ But ANYWAY, this look is a lot of fun and something I may just say 'to hell with it', and wear it more often again :)

 & Just for kicks, picture of said daughter!

She's just started smiling :)

Anyway...


Swatches!
(all Urban Decay)

* Vanilla, Graffiti, Peace, Blackout


'Vanilla' & 'Blackout', as i've stated before, are in the 15th Anniversary palette and i'm pretty sure they aren't sold separately. However, UD does sell a very similar black, 'Zero' that you could use instead. 'Graffiti' and 'Peace' can both be found in the Deluxe Shadow Box, and- good news!- are sold separately here for $18 bucks a pop!

Any feedback is welcome :D
Thanks for reading!
