Teal Sea Treasure

Did this to go with my teal Sinful v-neck tee--seen here on someone cuter--so I tried to bring out the teal and silver on my eyes. The name, to me, brings to mind some shiny silver object, like an old, valuable coin, sparkling in the sunlight under the flowing blue-green waters.


It's basically a smoky or gradient look featuring light silver/white (Uzi) at the inner corner, blended with teal (Flipside) on the lid, with a darker silver (Gunmetal) in the crease. I used my light silver pencil liner, Dime, once again because I loves it. :3 And the pencil liner, also in Gunmetal, provides a gradient look to my liner by being on the outer half of my eyes, where Dime is on the inner half.


And again with the eyebrow. My upcoming posts will not have this issue, I assure you. Even if I can't keep it from happening all the time, I'll at least make sure it isn't like that before I take pictures. These were taken on the run, really; I was in my car waiting for a friend and realized I hadn't taken any pics of today's look.

I tend to be lazy about my lipstick and just use the Ulta brand tinted lip balm (hey, it was free!), but a possible idea with this look is to gently apply the Dime pencil over whatever lipstick I'm wearing. I tried this once before, when I went overload with Dime:


It's a bit subtle, but a really cool look, I think. Could work for a winter theme in the near future.
