Teal and purple redo!

Like forever ago, I did a look that I called "Teal(ish) and Purple" that got a HUGE response on Makeupbee.  It was actually voted best colorful look of 2011 on there, which is completely awesome!  However, looking back at the picture, I really feel like I could have done the look better.  So today I gave it a try!!

Old look vs. new look!


I just think I brought the purple in too far in my original look and had too much darkness in the crease.




What I used:
Too Faced Shadow Insurance
NYX JEP "Milk"
MAC "Teal" pigment
MUFE 92 shadow
"Darkhorse" from U.D.'s Naked palette to blend between the teal and purple
"Naked" from the Naked palette to blend the purple out
"Virgin" from the Naked palette as a highlight
MAC Blacktrack fluidline 
L'oreal Voluminous Carbon Black mascara

Lips:
Revlon "Cupcake" lip butter

Face Makeup:
Carmindy for Sally Hansen Your Skin foundation in "Porcelain"
Neutrogena Healthy Skin Liquid foundation "Buff"
Maybelline Dark Circle Eraser "Fair"
Maybelline Superstay 24/7 concealer
L'oreal True Match Pressed Powder N3 in contoured areas
Covergirl Professional loose powder "Translucent fair" in highlight areas
ELF studio blush/bonzer duo
NYX "Peach" powder blush
ELF Shimmering Facial Whip "Spotlight" (a white color)

I gotta tell you, I was pleasantly surprised with the ELF Shimmering Facial Whip.  I squirted a little onto the back of my hand and stippled two fingers in it to spread it out a little and then stippled it onto my cheekbones still using my fingers.  It doesn't settle into smile lines when I smile and it doesn't look cakey or super obvious like highlighters have a tendency to do.  I really like it (and for $1 you really can't go wrong!)!

I personally prefer my new look over my old one.  I think the shape is better and the blending is better.  It's just not as intense of a look.  What do you think?  Which one do you prefer???
