This is my "blog face" entry into Lipstick Rules' contest entry. I always do a full frontal face view and then one on the left side of my face (my good side). I love blogging because I get to talk to so many beauty junkies! It's nice to know I'm not the only one with this obsession!

Let me know what you think of the colored liner! I think it's kinda cool!

FOTD: Rose Pigment

I've had this pigment for the longest time but never got around to using it until today. I usually stay away from pinks for eyeshadow but I think Rose is definitely wearable and doesn't make me look sick or like I've been crying all night.

FOTD: Gorgeous Gold

This look was pretty simple except for one thing. I used an unconventional highlight color and it turned out to be so awesome! Instead of using a typical off-white-ish highlight color, I used Gorgeous Gold! I love the duochrome effect of Gorgeous Gold and it looked especially great with Humid. You guys should definitely try this out! It looks much cooler in person and the camera doesn't do Gorgeous Gold any justice.

FOTD: Sunset Inspired

I've done a version of this look before but I think I like this one more! I used one of my favorite pigments, Pink Bronze, to create this look. I had completely forgotten about this treasure until I stumbled upon it today. I was actually gonna use Creme De Violet instead of Pink Bronze but the duochrome effect in Pink Bronze did a better job of capturing the look I was going for. Anyway hope you enjoy this!

FOTD: Alice + Olivia

Hey guys! Today's eye makeup look was done using MAC pigments. I love how it came out! I'm seriously in love with MAC Latter pigment from the Alice + Olivia collection. If you are gonna get any of the pigments, I would recommend Latter pigment. =)

I've listed what I think are close substitutes for the pigments in case you aren't able to pick them up.

Latter = Contrast eyeshadow

Latter is a lot purpler/bluer than Contrast. It's pretty much what Contrast looks like in the pan. Contrast goes on almost black but Latter shows up pretty dark purple/blue.

If It Sparkles = Vellum eyeshadow(LE)/Frozen White pigment (LE)

If It Sparkles looks exactly like Vanilla pigment when you look at it but when you swatch it, it looks a lot more blue/purple than Vanilla. It reminds me very much of Vellum eyeshadow and Frozen White pigment because of the purple/pink/blue duochrome effect. The texture is much more like Frozen White pigment, though.

Partylicious = Electric Eel eyeshadow

Partylicious looks like a less blue version of Electric Eel eyeshadow. The texture is also very similar. I don't see noticeable shimmer in Partylicious and it's super easy to blend.
