What does one do when the uni semester is over?
Convince people to let them put make up on their faces, of course!
I went over to my darling
Elimy's house and had a peek at her stash. (When I say stash, I'm only calling it that because that's what I call mine but of course but I have a blogger's stash and she has a normal person's stash. As opposed to Tom Sellick, who has a regular stash.)

It is Movember, after all.

It was really interesting working away from my usual cache of various instruments/ make up craziness. But it was fun, too, challenging myself to think outside the square. Box. Ha. I haven't had the opportunity to do makeup on some one else since doing theatre and that's a whole different kettle of fish. I really liked the end result, and Elimy didn't say she hated it, so that's a plus.
I used mostly powder shadows from various "drugstore palettes" and used one brush from Priceline. Without further ado, please view my handiwork, and Elimy's pretty eyes.
I used a translucent white gold from lashline to brow bone, a soft dirty purple in the crease, pale pink in the centre of the lid to create a focal point and peacock green in the outer V. There is also eyeliner on the lower lashline. I wanted to emulate Elimy's style which is very soft and natural but also wanted to add a pop of colour. To complete the look I added pinky blush and lipstick. I let Elimy do the rest of her face, including foundation etc. She used Fit Me 115 which she recommends to anyone thinking of trying it.
All in all I had a lot of fun and will sneak some more colour in next time if she lets me.
