Blimey Green

I went for a more subtle look today since it's the debut of my new camera. I still quite haven't gotten the lighting right. Please hang tight while I try to figure it out. I do love the fact that there was no focusing noise or much blurriness...=D

To be honest this wasn't one of my favorite looks. I liked it okay but it was missing some eyeliner on the waterline, but time was running short and I didn't want to make a booboo.

Purple Funk

I don't normally apply my eye shadow this way but it was fun and I actually loved the sharpness it had. The look kinda of "small way" reminded me of 60's makeup. All it would have needed is a little more depth in the crease and some thick black liner, that would have have been great.
I hope you enjoy, you don't have to use the same palette or colors. Thats the great thing about makeup is you can work with whatever you have.

Simply Silver

There is something so simple yet stunning about reflecting silver makeup. A very easy look to achieve and the elf "Drama" quad is perfect for it. This quad has the most pigmentation of all the quads in my opinion, if you can find one without have to ship one in I would totally pick it up...=)
I paired the look with some flirty, yet natural lashes, which is completely optional.

Smokey Red

Nothing like a little intensity to break up the monotony...*wink*
Again I am over 5 minutes, but I did shave 2 minutes off the last video, I think.
I was actually going for a smokey red/brown look but I don't have a good dark cool brown that I know of right off the cuff so I just went with the flow.

Gold Tones w/ Winged Liner

Its pretty much your standard pinup makeup with some gold toned shadows. I know it's nothing to rave about, wished I would have thought of something cooler to do but I was "lost in the fog" today.

It was also longer than 5 minutes...I know, I know...I tried, but since I filmed my foundation routine it was a little longer. I tried multiple times to get a good photo and the light just wasn't right, that too rared its ugly head in my video. I look like I have airbrushed myself to oblivion, and not on purpose.
Normally it only takes me about 20-30 minutes at most to do my makeup and this took me 45 minutes...again "lost in the fog" and I think it translated in the video.
For that I truly apologize. Either way I took a 45 minute video and cut it to just over 10 minutes so eh? Kudos for that maybe...=D

I am glad to be back, and will see ya in the next video.
