New Year Sunset Eye

Now that Christmas is over, the worst part of the year has begun. That period between Christmas and the beginning of spring, where everything is cold, grey and bleak. People are starting to take down their Christmas lights. There are no leaves on the trees. It's windy and bitter cold. And currently, there's no snow to make the dead, frozen ground look any nicer.

So I needed something bright to lift my spirits. New Year's Day I had a neon pink and purple look, and the next day I did this tropical sunset looking one. It's like a less bright and non-matte version of this one.


This was:
Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion
NYX White Eyeshadow Base (lid only)
Ben Nye Sun Yellow on inner lid
Make Up For Ever #18 in center of lid
Ben Nye Azalea in crease and mid lower lashline
Make Up For Ever #92 in crease and outer lower lashline
Stila Stay All Day Waterproof liner in Black
Hourglass Film Noir Full Spectrum Mascara

I'm really liking the NYX White Eyeshadow Base. So far I haven't had any creasing, but I've always used it over a primer and with powder shadow on top, never alone. It works so well for getting bright mattes to stick that it's really inspired me to use them more lately. It really grabs onto the color and keeps it there all day (and all night if you sleep in it, oops).
