Minty Eyeshadow

I'm obsessed with pastels. I just can't get enough of them. I was eager to wear my new mint scarf. Pastels are on trend for this spring. I decided to let the eyes be the star of the show and let everything else be subdued.

Do you have anything that's mint colored?

Homemade Yellow Setting Powder

I love to shop my stash! I have been lemming Ben Nye's banana powder forever. I am reluctant to pay shipping. The advantage to using it, is it isn't as HARSH as white powder when the flashbulbs go off.

I got this bright idea to combine my Coastal Scents Silica Spheres with a couple of MAC Pigments from my collection. I used 1/3 cup of the silica spheres, and 1 tsp each of MAC Primary Yellow and Chrome Yellow Pigments.












I have yet to perfect the application process, but that is the fun of playing in makeup.


I used a sponge today. I will try a brush tomorrow. I neglected to dust off the excess powder before setting with spray. I still plan to purchase the BEN NYE Banana Powder. This experiment wasn't a total failure. I say that because it was a learning experience.

Always a clown, I never take myself so seriously that I can't post a BAD picture of myself. If I can help someone learn, then I've accomplished something.
I hope this was helpful to someone.

Do you use colored setting powders?
Which are your favorites?

Face Of The Day (FOTD) - featuring NARS Sheer Glow MACAO

My region is being inundated with seasonal snow, freezing rain, sleet, and ice.
I felt like wearing bright eyeshadow today.
I also wanted a chance to play with my new NARS Sheer Glow foundation.

The foundation sometimes photographs in a weird way.
In person, however, I found it to be really natural. I asked my husband what he thought of my new foundation and he told me he didn't think I was wearing any. Ah yes! Success! That was the effect I was going for. *smiles*

Despite the inconvenience of the inclement weather, I managed to create some sunshine for myself.
It doesn't take much to lift my spirits when it comes to makeup.
