[brighthair]

thank you! I am trying to wear different colours - today is my first attempt with Golders Green!

 

[obscuria]

Goldmine - all over the lid
Humid or Femme Noir - outer v
Shroom - highlight

Blacktrack - liner

 

[malaviKat]

Azreal Blue - inner 1/3 of lid
Bell bottom blue - outer 2/3 of lid
Woodwinked or mulch - crease
Shroom (maybe mixed lightly w/ something else?) to highlight

Blacktrack to line

Try blacktrack as a base color blended out. On top of that use Steamy on the inner part of the lid and Humid on the outer part. Blend it well past the crease and use a highlight color of your choice. Line the upper lid with black and the lower lid with green. It will be very bold and very intense.

well tried 2 new looks

first was - goldmine inner corners, golders green on outer then lined with blacktrack top lid, and Urban Decay AC/DC bottom lid - lots of compliments!
second was a softer look for today - goldmine on lid, steamy outer lid, and steamy as bottom liner

I've done a list divided into inner/crease/lid/outer/liner and written diff combos in it until I get used to doing them!!
tomorrow will hopefully be sharkskin shadestick with steamy and humid blended over and Urban Decay homegrown as liner on the bottom as inspired by the above poster

well instead of going to bed, like I should be I tried this!
I swapped the blacktrack for Sharkskin and used a Barry M green liner for underneath. I hate that liner, it's a chunky pencil really so I tried some on an angled brush and yeah!

It looks lovely and I'll be wearing it for my night shift tomorrow night

Just write all the names on small pieces of paper and put them in a box (or more boxes, one for shadows, one for liner....). Everyday you pull out different combinations to try out.
