I obviously have too much time on my hands. I was looking at the eyeshadows in the *one color wash* section, and I wondered.....could you take the whole one color thing and do your whole face with it? So I did. I tried my best to take pics, but my camera is a little old, and it just does not capture colors the way I want it to, so I will describe it for you.
I used *Tawny* as my one color.
I primed my face with the sheer Zinc Powder. I applied my foundation mix. I put on my mascara(Maybelline Lash Stiletto Voluminous) and let it dry.
I primed my entire eyelid with an off-brand shimmery cream highlighter.
Then I foiled *Tawny* from lashline to crease, and blended well
I used Avon black glimmerstick to line outer 3/4 of eye,
I used my blusher brush to apply Tawny, much like a glow to my cheeks, temples,under my chin, across my forehead...
Finally, I applied an off brand nude gloss, and then with a lipbrush mixed in some Tawny on top.
This look was surprisingly wearable. Even though the color is very shimmery, I didn't feel disco-ballish. I do feel, though, that this would have been more interesting looking on a gal with a darker complexion. I'm very fair, so I don't think I did it justice.
I am thinking of trying other colors just for fun.......for some reason, Quiver comes to mind.

Re: Tawny all over
Oh I've done that with Cider! Though i still prefer to crease with cider rather than do the whole eye, it still works for a whole eye. I also did that with riddle and i think cyprus sands on a summer vacation, using riddle as the light color and glow, and cyprus to crease and contour. Nude lips- it made for a gorgeous summer look
I think Tiara does it with Palace.

I do indeed use Palace as a one color thing! Though I have Palace mixed in my foundation at the moment, so guess it gets all over every day.Xarata wrote:I think Tiara does it with Palace.

Quiver would be awesomeness, if you do that you have to take a picture Laurie!! I think Crystal would look really great on someone with darker skin...

Re: Tawny all over
I did the whole look with Beach Bunny, I applied a little bit all over the face, applied a lot of to contour my cheeks, did a wash on my lids and even dusted some on my lips, but it was invisible so I put some lipstick. Mascara and Golden Blond brow powder, that was my easiest look in summer. I did it when I had almost no imperfections and wanted to perk myself up a little but the whole make up was out of place.
Current ratio, Sept. 13: 1 Ebony : 1 Buttery Gold : 15 All Purpose : 5 Ivory : 2 Yellow : 1 Liberty : 1 Beach Bunny
The mix is pale and does't look yellow
