Turquoise

I was in a turquoise mood today so that's what I rolled it. It is kind of loud and drag-queenish, but I like it nonetheless. I love the word nonetheless. And Jewel Blue isn't as blended as I would have liked. Anyway, on to the pictures. It's almost the exact same application as the last look I did, but with different colors. Let me know what you think!





(All MAC unless otherwise stated)

Face:
* Select Tint SPF 15 (NW45)
* Mineralize Loose Foundation {a very light dusting} (Deeper Dark)
* Bronzing Powder (Refined Deeper Bronze)
* Ablaze Blush

Eyes:
* UDPP
* Greenstroke Paint Pot
* Fashion Forward Eye Shadow - Lancome
* Aquadisiac Eye Shadow
* Jewel Blue Eye Shadow
* Big T Eye Shadow

Lips
* Cushy Creamstick Liner
* Antiquitease Lipstick
* Mary Kay Clear Gloss

I've got A LOT of ideas of looks based inspired by magazine ads, makeup face charts and makeup book looks, as well as random pictures, so please come back often. If they come out half-way decently I'll post them here.

oh my god! You've just proved that black women can wear any color!
I have a friend who use aquadisiac to rim her eyes and it looked so pretty!
The only reason i didn't purchase it is because i was afraid of color!
It is so pretty on you..
i might purchase it!

Love the face products you've used

Nywele is right. This looks absolutely gorgeous on you. It's been awhile since I've touched any turq colors. My Shimmermoss is gettin' dustyyyy.

I love it! I was going to wear a similar look to church on Sunday but I wasn't feeling the blues I had. Guess that means I need to go shadow shopping...

Love it!!! I really don't think that is a color we can't wear as Black women. Well, maybe Gesso, LOL.

^^^ You could do a mod look with Gesso and Carbon. I don't own Gesso (shock!) but if I did, I would probably attempt a Twiggy look. Someone should.

Yes, it is a tad on the drag queenish side. But, I really like the color on you!

Look at you being bold and colorful!

love it!
