This one is from a few weeks ago. One of my favorite combinations, purple and orange!
This was:
Too Faced Shadow Insurance
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy (on lid only)
Fyrinnae Meerkat on lid, applied wet with MAC Water Based Mixing Medium
Make Up For Ever #92 in crease
Fyrinnae Pyromantic Erotica on inner corner and lower lashline
Urban Decay 24/7 Zero
Fyrinnae Pumpkinfire with MAC mixing medium as liner
Urban Decay Lash Primer
Cover Girl Lash Blast
I still haven't quite learned how to use Pixie Epoxy. If I get any amount of it in my crease at all it causes the shadows to stick and sort of stain and clump and not blend... Makes a harsh line where the shadow is stuck on the Pixie Epoxy of that makes sense. Or sometimes it will do really weird things to the shimmer in shadows when I try to blend. What am I doing wrong? I only use a tiny amount, just barely tap my finger with the wand and then blend over the lid. I know a lot of you use it and love it, any tips?
Oh... and I've finished my sample of Pyromantic Erotica. I don't think I've ever finished a shadow or pigment sample before! Good thing I picked up a full sized jar. Man, I love that stuff. So awesome.

I love purple and gold together! This is stunning! And these colors make your eye look beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove this look... it's dark but still very rich-looking and absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThe color palette reminds me so much of John Howe's "Smaug the Golden" - the loveliest illustration of a dragon I've ever seen.

Well this is gorgeous! I love purples on brown eyes...and the orange on the lower lash :)
ReplyDeleteomy gosh.. this is beautiful eye makeup..
ReplyDeletei'm horrible at this stuff... and one eye always rubs off.. so i look crazy.. with half a face done
Love the purple and orange combo. I just got Pixie Epoxy myself not too long ago and I'm still trying to figure it out too.
ReplyDelete1. I love the look.
ReplyDelete2. with the pixie epoxy, apply your eye shadow primer. Apply your pixie epoxy to 1 eye, just a tiny amount. i smooth it out with my finger tip. I wait about 5 seconds, then I apply my shadows, brushing them on the pixie epoxy. blending can take a bit of practice with it. Then do the other eye.
Just wanted to wander in and say that I love these Eye Of The Day posts!
ReplyDeleteWow! I would never have imagined that purple and orange could go together, but you did it.
ReplyDeleteWOW, that is some seriously gorgeous purple!

ReplyDeleteThe copper and purple compliment each other very nicely!
ReplyDeletescrangie I love you even more so now that you feel that purple and orange go well together; I've been stressing this to everyone I know for years but nobody believes me! simply because they sound like such contrasting colours.
ReplyDeleteyou are amazing. for being so adventurous.
