Green and Purple

 As you read this I'm in Croatia, probably packing my stuff so I'm ready to fly back home! Anyway, this is a quick look from a couple of weeks ago. In an effort to 'shop my stash' and get more use out of products I haven't touched in too long I rediscovered the stunning Snake eyeshadow from Shiro, which is a bright chartreuse shade that I really should use more. Perhaps not quite the quintessential autumn shade, but it was warm and sunny.

Used: Shiro Snake on the inner corner, Kiss My Sass Spellbound over most of the lid, Black Rose Minerals Lunar Reflection in/above the crease, Victorian Disco My Feels on the lower lashline Fyrinnae Mephisto as a liner. Brows are, I think, Task Force.

(also, have I mentioned how amazing Mephisto is as a liner? It looks SO GOOD.)

Red Liner (inspired by Sharon Farrell)

Ever since I saw this really awesome looking use of red eyeliner  by Sharon Farrell (who, fyi is a really awesome makeup artist and you should all go subscribe to her youtube channel here) I really wanted to give it a go. Red isn't a colour you ever really think to use as a liner (outside of creative artsy looks) but actually it looks amazing. Since I have a much underloved burgundy eyeshadow I finally put it to use.

Used: Shiro Heart Attack as eyeliner, Kiss My Sass Meteor in the crease, Detrivore Autopsy over the lid. Eyeko skinny liner to define the eye and add a bit of a darker line (in place of the false lashes Sharon used).

Really the main focus here is the liner, and Heart Attack is an utterly beautiful colour.  

Autumn Inspired

A couple of autumn inspired looks for you today.

Used: Shiro Ragdoll on the inner corner, Victorian Disco Godric over the lid and Kiss My Sass Heatwave on the other corner and crease.

Used: Shiro Cornucopia on the inner corner, Shiro Chiefest of Calamities and Victorian Disco Godric on the main lid with Geek Chic Madness going into Shiro The Last Homely House on the outer corner. The gold liner is from George.

I really love autumn colours, even if the weather has taken a turn for the colder and more wintery. How about you guys?

Kiss My Sass Swatches

Swatches were done over Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy (except lip and blush, which were bare skin) and photographed in natural light with no blush. All descriptions are from the Kiss My Sass website.

Heat Wave a dark smokey taupe with a sheen/shimmer that shifts from red to copper to gold depending on the lighting

Meteor  taupe with a slight pink interference and copper sparkles

Spellbound muted purple with a green shimmer

Raspberry Snow Cone Blush (gwp) deep magenta/berry with a slight pink sheen

Sippin' Mai Tais (lip tint) sheer coral with a very slight violet sheen

Sweet Escape (gwp, lip glaze) blue based pink (almost lilac) with green sparkles

I'm really in love with Heat Wave and Meteor. Sippin' Mai Tais is the perfect sheer summer colour for me as well.
