Silk Naturals

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.

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. But yes, I've worn it as blush, eyeshadow, and lipcolor all at once! Have used Cider in a similar way, and Halo I think...and of course, Satisfied!

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...

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.
