Enchanted Berries

Recently, I've been experimenting a lot with my Makeup Geek pigments. They are awesome, especially when used wet to give that pretty, metallic finish. :)

Pretty and cranberry-pink Enchanted is the perfect eyeshadow for romantic and edgy fall looks! And for bringing out green eyes. :)

After already having edited this image I realized that it turned out rather crappy because of to high a saturation value. However, I decided to include it as an example of how the camera can cause a perfectly blended eye look to seem not very blended.

You could go all the way and pair this dramatic eye with a bold, dark lip but I wasn't up to too much boldness today so I tried it with Lime Crime's nude shade Coquette.

What will be your go-to look for fall? Do you usually try something new this season or stick to something classic?

Thanks a lot for reading and have a lovely day! :)

The Vintage (or Tacky) Iron Man

One of the Youtube gurus that has inspired me most throughout the years is Cora from Vintageortacky. She's funny and extremely talented which makes it delightful to watch her videos! :)
Recently she posted this tutorial on an Iron Man look and I totally fell in love with it. Plus, I do own many of the products she uses in the video so recreating this look was a must for me. ;)

I did decide to put an extra element on this look, that would make it more me and add some more craziness to it (as if that is needed :P...); hence the rhinestones along the lower lash line.

Honestly, I have no idea why but red eyeshadow always look un-blended and as if I've sloppily painted it on in some ancient drawing program (remember Paint anyone?) or something. -___- It helps to turn down the saturation a bit but I still can't capture the smooth blending that actually existed there in real life. So frustrating!
