The purple and the rust colours look gorgeous together. I was on the fence with the purple pigment but I might get it now!

btw did you use a blending colour above the purple?

Thanks Amy =) I did not use a blending color, just the NARS Lil Marlene (which is a medium gray) as a base.

The lipstick looks distracting; it was the first thing I looked at – very pretty!

You pull off the es colors really well, without looking muddy. I can’t seem to make matt es work on my lower lashes…:(

This is gorgeous! I love the colors you used, they go very well together.

Thanks Ying Xiong! I seldom use reds on the eyes and I’m surprised how well it turned out myself *lol*

Thanks Aleksis! You do a great job yourself too!

Thanks Kristie!

Amy, if you like the lashes, stay tuned for more!

Reply Phyllis August 27, 2009 at 4:36 pm

Thanks AtelierGal! The colors I used weren’t matte (one is a highly shimmery pigment and the color is glitter).

To wear matte eyeshadow, you really need to pack it on for it to show. You can try lining your lower lashline with a gel liner before topping it with es – it will bring out the color more.
