EOTD with Darling Girl Cosmetics

I haven't been wearing makeup most days for the past few months because I don't really see the point in wearing a full face of makeup up just to sit at home.  Although sometimes I will play around with it, but I usually remove whatever I put on right after.  So I was a bit excited to be returning to school this summer just because I would get more chances to wear makeup again, yay!  But, I seem to value my sleep more than I care about putting on makeup so as it turns out most days have been pretty minimal makeup-wise.

But one day I was determined to use my Darling Girl eyeshadows so I did.  Unfortunately I wasn't completely happy with the way my eyes turned out.  Not because of the eye shadows themselves, but because of what I layered them over.  I used a base of elf' cream shadow in Candlelight and it completely sucked up all the pretty shimmer/duochrome-ness from the eye shadows and left them looking more flat than they really are.  Needless to say I won't be using it as a base when I want super sparkly eyes (which is most of the time actually).  I really like how my lips turned out, though!  But first the eyes.

 

 This is a base of elf Candlelight with My Little Pony on the lid and Sparklers At Dawn in the crease.  The lower lashline is Clusterfluff over elf Candlelight.  The black liner is a felt tip pen liner by Physician's Formula.

See what I mean?  My Little Pony is actually light purple with green shimmer... and this just looks silver. And Sparklers At Dawn is a blue-leaning dark silver with lots of multi-colored sparkles and over the elf cream shadow is just looks grey.  I sort of like the look, but it completely misrepresents the actual color/sparkle of the Darling Girl shadows.  Check my swatches from here to see the colors I used more accurately.

Yay hot pink lips! This is Shy Girl Kiss Me Tinted Lip Balm under Hot Mama Liquid Kiss (both by Darling Girl).
