MarieH-
You look lovely! The only thing I might add is a little more blending on the on the eye lightly with a fluffy brush, but it could just be the lighting in the pic. The colors are great on you.

Everyone looks beautimus! I wish I could do complicated EOTD, but the best I can do is just a full wash... Anything beyond that makes me look like I have no idea what I am doing ( which I don't... :lol: )

If I can get past your gorgeous hair... hehe. OK, Centerfold was a great choice, it looks really nice on you, so is Flirt. My only comment would be same as Jen's, a bit more blending.

I'm experimenting and giving feedback on primers, but I think that some people might be able to achieve a similar, more pastel effect with a paint pot and the new vibrant colors.

Eye Shadow:
test Eye Primer #3 - on lid
Detrivore Primer - lower lash line
Silk Naturals Cherry Blossom - inner corners of eye and on browbone to highlight
Silk Naturals Safety - upper inner lid and inner lower lash line
Silk Naturals Flame - upper middle lid and middle lower lash line
Silk Naturals Vivid - upper outer lid and outer lower lash line
Silk Naturals Brimstone - crease
Gel eyeliner in Raven - upper lash line
Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Zero - lower water line
Urban Decay Lingerie for Lashes Primer
Covergirl LashBlast Luxe in Black Platinum
Lorac Brow Pencil in Dark Brown

Vivid, Flame and Safety are beautiful!
Cherry Blossom is nice.

You can see with the primer I used on my lid that the colors looked more pastel, while with the primer on my lower lash line, the colors looked quite vivid and bright. I definitely prefer the bright!

I keep reaching for Brimstone more and more when I want what I would consider a subtle crease. It's just so lovely and faceted.

I came home to my SN package and was just playing so this isn't as clean as it could be, but it is fun.

P.S. As you can see, I have a weird eye color (pretty much grey- they change depend on what i'm wearing, quite often to different shades of green-olive, hunter, teal but can also turn bright blue. Most of the time, they are just grey) so if you have any suggestions for my coloring, i could use a good playtime and a combo that really makes my eyes pop.
apparently i made this too wide...

MarieH -- Stunning. Simply stunning. You look like a model. I think every color you picked is perfect.

Phyrra -- I can't stop looking at this, I know I'm reading that you used 5 colors but I see 15. Mesmerizing.

Xarata - Wow, the orange and yellow make your green eyes POP. My green eyes say I have to get Canary and Safety now.
