Colorful with Manly 120

I have been neglecting my Manly 120 palette, and I had had a very crappy day. This was just one thing that went yesterday...

I did this look last night. 

I used NYX's eyeshadow pencil in Lemon, and it's swatch is like this:

I used the following colors from the 120 palette.

From the color placement picture you can see where I placed the numbered eyeshadows. All the pictures in this post are clickable, so you can see them in a bigger size. I used the black in this palette as a liner. On my waterline I used a black pencil liner.

Then some more pictures of the look.

Hope you like it!

Not for daily use.

I posted a preview of this a couple weeks ago, saying I'd post the whole tutorial the following weekend. Yeah, I didn't. Sorry about that! I used the Manly 120 palette in this, and NYX's jumbo eyeshadow pencils.

Tutorial

First I applied a primer and then as a base I used NYX's jumbo eyeshadow pencils in Lemon and Purple.

I took a picture of my Manly and numbered them for personal use. Now I will use the same numbers here, I'll post a picture of the whole Manly so that you can see what colors I used. The numbers are explained with each picture.

I put 112 and 114 like this:

Then I added a highlight. You can use whatever you like for this. Then I applied a lighter purple, 88, a little over the purple 112, and on the Lemon jumbo pencil.

I took greenish shadows 4 and 10. 4 I placed in the innermost corner, 10 next to it, more on the lid.

 I took a blueish purple, 35, and placed that on the line of the purple 88 and green 10. 

I decided to add alittle more green to the border of green and purple. This time it was green 39.

I used a kajal liner in black on the top and bottom waterlines, and added mascara.

I took some black 114 and green 39 on a pencil brush and placed that on the lower lash line. Then I also blended the purple some more...

I added crazy lashes...

 ... that I wore for Halloween (I was Morticia Addams), but this time they had gone bad, and refused to function properly, so I threw them out after I took the pictures... Also the glue wasn't good anymore. Those two reasons are why the lashes look all weird, cause I didn't manage to place them properly.

Definitely not using that glue anymore... or this brand lashes... I want more than 1.5 uses out of them. 

Finished look! 

Thoughts?

Guess what my boyfriend said about this? He came home and said that "I'm going to say this now so that you believe me later, you've looked prettier." I didn't expect him to ask me to do my makeup like this every day, but I didn't expect what he said. Then  a while later before going to sleep he asked me if I got insulted by his words. I did and I didn't. You know? I don't expect him to say something about blending or something, but I expected something like "I like the colors" or something. He knows and I know I wont use makeup like this on a daily basis. This was for this blog for new years. I don't know. I can't remember what I felt that day, cause it was a while ago. I did this on like the last or the second last day of 2010...

Holiday look - Fall leaves

You know, I have a great imagination. I'm sure no one else has drawn inspiration from the fall leaves. ;)

Here's my version of the many.

I used my newest baby, the Manly 120 Palette. (Just wait till I get my other babies that are on their way from the States. Yes, I did some shopping on several occasions. If my calculations are correct, I should be getting the first package this week!)

But back to this look. As I said, I used the Manly 120 palette. 

Click on the picture to see the numbering and have a closer look on the colors!(See the written numbers by each eyeshadow? Yeah, that's my nerdiness kicking in. I recently created a log system that I know what products I use etc... I know the ThePinkLadyJ (on youtube) has one like mine, I basically copied her A LOT.)

And here are the drawings or something on my lid.

I put NYX's Jumbo eyeshadow pencil in Pots&Pans on the whole lid. Also a matte skin colored shadow under the brows to ease blending later.

Then color #2 on the middle quarters of the lid.

 Color #3 in the crease, and color #5 to the outer corner.

 Color #1 to the inner corner. Color #6 to the outer corner. Color #4 I used as a liner. It applied ridiculously well with a Coastal Scents IB113 Taklon liner brush.

Then I noticed that the line on my browbone is a little too harsh, so I added color #1 (earlier put in the inner corner) to the harsh line and blended that with the highlight I used in the very beginning. 

(Remember, the colors are not modified at all in a photo editing program. I only changed places where I took the photos. In a darker corner, by a lamp, on my sunny balcony, but not in direct sunlight.)

What's your favorite look for the fall?
