This is Halloween!

Hey all. A couple of weeks ago someone posted an awesome eye look on a make-up forum, asking people to recreate it. I thought I'd have a go. The original look was done by an artist named Kiki. Her look is here. Here's my result:

The last picture is a retouched version by a photographer friend of mine, Bryony, here's her website: http://www.purestorm.com/bryonyphotography

Make-up was mostly Sugarpill. I used Buttercupcake, Flamepoint and Love+, with a random Sleek black on the lid and brows. For the bats I used a cheapo liquid liner and a fine nail art brush. Hope you like!

Eyes of the Day - Orange & Purple

Here's a look using some of my favourite shadows. I think it goes really well with green eyes.

What I used:

UDPP
Hi Fi Cosmetics shadow in Mind Manipulator (orange) - lid
Fyrinnae Sennyo (pink-purple) - crease
Fyrinnae Parental Advisory (darker more blue purple) - outer corner & lower lashline
Hi Fi Cosmetics So What (shimmery pink with blue duochrome) - to blend crease upwards.
BeautyUK Pearl Eyeliner in Purple Haze
Accessorize Glitter Eyeliner in Electric Pink


On a side note, the Accessorize eyeliner is running out so fast on me! The tube seems half empty and I've only used it 3-4 times. It's like the Dazzleglass of eyeliners. :( Pretty but disappears too soon.

Warm Smoke

Today's look is a bit autumnal but I think it works for Summer ok anyway. I just got myself an orange cardigan so I was inspired to use orange in my eyeshadow look. I think it would work really well with blue eyes too :) Hope you like it.

Last picture is blurry but captures the tones a bit better I think.

Here's what I used:

UDPP

Hi Fi Mind Manipulator

Fyrinnae Angel's Tale

BFTE Truffle

Hi Fi Hot Rod

HiFi Cosmetics Swatches

Since I have a gammy eye I thought it was probably best if I did swatches instead of an eye makeup look today. So I've swatched my collection of HiFi Shadows for you. All are shown over Fyrinnae's Pixie Epoxy. They are loose eyeshadows which come in a jar or as sample baggies. I'm not sure on prices as they are currently closed temporarily.

Greens blues, and a yellow.

Sunlight. Other Side isn't as blue as it looks here, and Lithium is lighter in real life.

Indoor lighting.

Morbid Faith isn't showing up as beautiful as it really is in these photos, but the aqua coloured shimmer in it is really beautiful. A good blue for people who shy away from blues (me!)

Reds, browns, pink & orange.

Sunlight.

Indoor lighting. Colours are all truer in this swatch, particularly Live Large. Hell Frozen refused to show itself properly. In reality it's a cool brown with bluish silvery shimmer. Extremely beautiful. My Pain is also really gorgeous, an almost metallic red/plummy brown.


My favourites: Live Large, Morbid Faith, Mind Manipulator, My Pain and Hell Frozen.

I think these are my favourite loose eyeshadows alongside Fyrinnae's. They have some gorgeous bright colours and they're all really complex and unique. Some shades look a little uninspiring dry but come to life when foiled (used wet) or over Pixie Epoxy, particularly Live Large. Definitely check them out once the store reopens!
