Accidents that turned out to work...

Have you ever made a makeup "mistake" that ended up being really pretty? I don't mean "mistake" as if to say there are any rules, but say you maybe dipped your brush into the wrong eyeshadow and by the time you realized it, it was already on your eye...but worked?

Well I did this yesterday; I was putting on my makeup for work, and I always start with primed eye. So far I had on Shroom as a highlight and Rule on the lid. I meant to dip into Beautyburst as my crease color, but somehow (and don't ask me how, it was 7am) I dipped my brush into Hepcat instead. It actually turned out really pretty, so kept going from there. I eventually worked in more Hepcat, MUFE Purple #92 a little bit of a dark brown I have from Laura Mercier. It was really pretty and I got a lot of compliments on it at work

I combined vanilla pigment and shroom one day and it made the prettiest highlight color..soft and kinda ethreal. I don't like shroom alone sometimes so I was playing around with it and loved the outcome.

LOL! Yeah, me too! I never know what I'm going to do until I do it.

An accident combo that worked great for me was pairing Ruby Red pigment with Violet pigment over Artifact paint pot. After liking how it came out, I added Helium pigment to the tearduct area, smoked out Carbon e/s in the crease, and Vanilla pigment for highlight. It's one of my favorite looks now!
