Ohhh la laaaa, thanks Jaimie for my new FOTD Friday banner. It is faaaab! FOTD Friday is all about creativity, comparing dupes and stepping outside of the box when it comes to color. Or sometimes we explore the beauty of natural looks. Today's FOTD was inspired by reader Jamila who sent me her thoughts on MAC's Fresh Green Mix Mineralized eyeshadow from the ElectroFlash collection.
I have seen these beauties in person but haven't been compelled to buy anything since I am on this serious "it can be duped" phase. But Jamila may change my mind. I tried to duplicate her beautiful FOTD. She used (all MAC unless otherwise noted):
Fresh Green Mix on lid, the darker side in the crease and outer 1/3
Climate Blue (just a bit) in the crease and outer 1/3
Maybelline Dream Mousse shadow in Vanilla Veil to highlight.
MAC liquidlast in Electrolady to line (top and bottom)
Violet Pigment on top of Elctrolady
My Foundation and blush are some frankens that I put together.
NYX Black Label Lipstick Diva with Korres Pomegranate Lip butter over it.
Beautiful uh? So here is the quad that I used...
Ohh....and here's the pobre Eyepopping eyeshadow in the jacked up shadows palettes.
And then the look...
Looks like I went a little above my crease on the left eye. Urrgghhh, Clumps of Mascara strikes again. Hehehe...
Too Faced Shadow Insurance primer
Milani Garden Mist eyeshadow
True Chartreuse pigment
Swimming
Humid
Carbon
Clinique's Almost Peach (highlight...love this color!)
Entremauve pigment (for purple lining)--forgot to add it on my waterline.
....that lippie is by NYC but the name rubbed off. I adore that color!
So how did I do? I think my look is a little more vibrant than J's. But I'm thinking it's because I used all of my shadows and pigments wet. I still think there are some dimensions to that Fresh Water Mix mineralized shadow that I would like to explore. Jamila has been nice enough to provide some swatch comparisons for us. Yaaaay! Check them out here.
Anyone else own it? Any must haves that you think I should take a look at in the Electro Flash collection?
It's Friiiiiiiiday!!! I hope that yall are off to a good one!!
