Pink Pearls

This is mostly because several of my favorite products happen to be pink:

A smoky sort of look, but with pink instead of a darker color. This turned out a lot more subtle than I imagined, but it really looks subtle in these pictures--in that it didn't show up practically at all. Working on getting a better camera, believe me.

It really did show up better in person, I promise. This is also my first time using the liquid liner Woodstock directly against my lashes, instead of bordering it with black liquid liner. Makes for a softer look, I feel.

As for the actual layout of the colors, I used the same baby pink featured in my Nyan Cat makeup (UD Hotpants) as the base color, with Sphynx over it to add some sparkle. I love me some sparkles! And Sphynx is essentially the same color, but Hotpants is shimmery/pearlescent where Sphynx is sparkly. But I wanted both, darn it! Anyway, due to my lack of a darker pink that's actually a pure pink and not purplish, I used the Ulta brand pressed eyeshadow in Cherry Bomb as the crease color. I actually really like this eyeshadow; it goes on well, shows up well, et cetera; overall very cooperative. Best used in moderation, though, and blended very well, especially with Hotpants or Sphynx. It's actually a little bit too dark to be a good crease color for Hotpants; there's just too much of a difference in the colors. So I used veeery little, blended like crazy, and layered my lid with just a bit of Last Call, a darker burgundy/magenta color. Not that you can really tell, but it balanced out the Cherry Bomb very nicely. I also touched the inner corners of my eyes with the UD pencil liner in Dime, a pale light silver, to provide some highlighting.

You can see the overall look created with this zoomed out picture, thankfully. See? I promise I'm actually wearing eyeshadow! Anyway, like I said, a much softer look than if I had used darker colors or more contrast. And I also don't look diseased, which is a relief!

Please forgive my messed-up eyebrow; I can use styling wax and comb them until my arms fall off, but my bangs always drag my left eyebrow, and that's the result. Does anyone know how to stop that from happening?? I'd be grateful to you forever!
