Comeback look: green.

Maybe because green is the colour of hope[fully I won't mess up this revival]. But to be honest I just felt like working with said colour ;).
Or maybe spring has something to do with it. Anyway, pics:

[Disclaimer: Out of practice. That applies to everything, actually. Not just photographing.]

Yes, I was half awake at the time. Or half asleep. Depends on your perception.

Products:

This was my first time using a foundation brush. (OK, so it was marketed as a brush for applying face masks, but it looks just like a foundation brush & works perfectly.)

Skin: Good old (half empty by now) Tesco Porcelain, applied with a foundation brush (Oriflame). Powdered with Bourjois Mineral Radiance in Vanille, contoured with powder from a fake YSL kit. I know, I shouldn't have etc. but I got it for the lovely Asian made eye shadows, not for a fake logo. By the way, it doesn't even copy any real product, it just has the logo slapped on :-/. But the eye shadows are gorgeous & I'll be doing a look with them ;).

I have a new contouring brush too, Oriflame's Sun Brush. Which, for the record, is not slanted as pictured in the catalogue. It's a kabuki. But a good one & one can never have too many brushes :D.

Eyes: Pretty simple. Wet & Wild Envy as a base, NYX Spring Leaf on the lid & a bit of NYX Green Tea on the crease. Lined with my Avon Arabian Glow pencil in Emerald. Inner lining: Avon Glimmerstick in Black Stripe for upper lashlines & a random cheap white kohl for lower lashlines (fine, the brand is Lady Di). Curled lashes & used Avon's SuperSHOCK mascara.

Mine's Limited Edition. I actually got the whole stripey line (and yes, the packaging was part of the reason :-P) and will be posting pics as soon as I can get an accurate pic of the eye shadow shades.

Cheeks: The Body Shop Shimmer Waves in Blush. Stupidly not pictured, but if necessary you can look it up under 'The Body Shop' or just see a few of my past looks, I'd been using it fairly frequently.

Lips: Estee Lauder Pure Colour Long Lasting Lipstick in Sugar Honey, from a swap with Hanna :).

[Will be posting up some undeclared past swaps (mostly for reference, I suppose).]

More pictures...

I still look ugly when I smile. Some things will never change ;).

And finally, the wonky angles I sometimes seek in order to get an OK picture...



See the shadow? That's my arm >:-).

Finally, not really make-up related, but this is stuck in my head :-P...

It has infected my brain. Lol.

And this concludes the entry. Thanks for reading :).
