Lately I have been buying some bright, and I mean BRIGHT eyeshadows, and i've been wanting to use them and finally had a chance to! This look reminded me of a pair of parakeets my cousin used to own, they were both yellow and green with a tinge of blue feathers. I used my new "Parrot" eyeshadow on a little part of my lid however blue mixed with yellow makes green, so it just ended up blending with "Wondergrass", so instead I used it on my lower lashline.
Inspiration:
What I used:
Face:
- EoB Airbrush Primer
- MMBB Medium/Dark Beige Foundation
Cheeks:
- Everyday Minerals "Email Me"
Eyes:
- MAC Paint Pot in "Painterly" (all over the lid)
- MAC e/s in "Chrome Yellow" (lower half of the lid above the crease)
- MAC e/s in "Eyepopping" (middle of the lid)
- MAC e/s in "Wondergrass" (on outer half of the lid)
- ULTA eyeshadow in "Shell" as highlight
- MAC e/s in "Parrot"on outer-V and lower lashline
- Indelible Gel Eyeliner in "Black Out"
- Covergirl Lash Exact Mascara
Lips:
- AVON Lipgloss in "Chic Mauve"

ooooh so i tried the Sandy B l/s... it looks soo gross.. too frosty. but the full on lust was wooooow loveee it!!! i might get another one since it's LE. sooooo pretty. and i like the mattene 40's pink that i got a while back too. i'm still iffy about the pink ingot. i dont know if i should keep it or not. feelings about it?
Wow, your eyes do remind me of a parakeet. :D hehe. A really pretty parakeet! :D I'm not comfortable enough with bright colors to wear them that often. :P I've been trying to practice but I shy away from the. LOL. You use bright colors so well though! and they look really pretty on you. :D btw... nice brushes. ;)
very pretty, vanessa!
The colours look so bright but you make them look so gorgeous! All you're missing is that red colour on the front of the parrot/parakeet?
I'm liking the look of those two blushes. Do you know if Val Cosmetics ship internationally?
Btw, did you get my email?
Thanks!
