I highlight with pink opal or vanilla and drag that down the tearduct area. Line with fairly heavy black chromaline. Er, wish I had that photo I took of that look a while back. I am so bad at making time to document that stuff. I wear it with rebel lipstick but any hot pink would do. It may sound weird but well done geisha looks on dark skinned women look wicked! I don't mean doing the white powder which would just be silly, I mean doing the Asian inspired bold eye/lip combos with reds, oranges or very bright pinks. I have seen some burlesque performers really rock those looks with Asian brocade corsets matching their makeup. Not for the faint of heart to be sure but definitely eye catching.

Gorgeous!!! I have to get my hands on Fuschia pigment to do this look!

I seriously need to get pictures of some of my insane combos. When I go out I end up doing sort of a rainbow look lately with... yes it is a LOT of colours... Blue, PTE (or grape or entmv.), teal, antique gold, Bright Fuschia, fuschia, violet and either pink opal or softwash grey to highlight. I know it's kind of nuts but it matches my hair!

^^I appreciate all forms of beauty, whether your hair is blue, red or pink. If you have it, flaunt it.

You're hot, girl!!

Ohh I love your hair! Softwash Grey is love to me!

"In the Gallery", "Notoriety" and "Photo Realism" eyeshadow quads are still available on Nordstrom.com. (As I read in a thread yesterday that someone was looking for "In the Gallery")

Since MAC and I were on a break when this collection came out, I hadn't purchased anything from the collection. But I noticed my counter had 2 of the quads left, and then after a beautiful Photorealism EOTD from Rach, I knew I had to have it. I called my counter, and they had just 2 left, which were getting ready to be sent back. I went yesterday and got one, and am wearing it today. I am in love. The Photorealism quad is so pretty and great for everyday wear with its subdued colors.

i bet it looks lovely on you! you're very lucky to have snatched it up! i love the quad and used it all the time when i first got it!

 

[MzzRach]

I'm so excited you got the PR quad and the Shade Fluidline, Audrey! Please post a look when you can, I would love to see them on you.

For those who might be interested, my EOTD using the Photo Realism quad can be found here: http://www.specktra.net/forum/f166/p...m-eotd-157768/

I'm so glad I rediscovered this quad. It really is lovely and I think would suit a variety of skintones.

 

[GlamQueen21]

YAY for Audrey for getting PR Quad!! I do need to use mine one of these days.

 

[PinkBasset]

I have been using The Perfect Cheek alot lately, and it has become one of my favorite blushes!

At first I thought it isn't pigmented and "obvious" enough, but now that I've used it more I absolutely love it! It is the perfect neutral blush for me. I'm terrified I first skipped it but luckily went back for it!

I have never finished (or even hit a pan) a blush, but in this case, I think I could.

i have been using mine as a lipgloss more than a shadow!

oh and my dad managed to pick me up heritage rouge pigment

whoop!

 

[AudreyNicole]

I picked up Off the Page e/s (LOVE!!) at my counter the other day and ordered Crest the Wave from the MAC site before it was gone... I didn't pay much attention to this collection when it came out, and I am sort of regretting that now... headed to the CCO soon... hopefully I can find some of what I am looking for!!

 

[GlamQueen21]

^Awesome! I backed up Off The Page e/s since it's a gorgeous color! I haven't used Crest The Wave e/s yet from my Stowaways Quad (I depanned my Stowaways Quad) and I need to think of combinations to go with it. I'm so going to order Violet Trance e/s this week since I have been lemming on a matte purple e/s for awhile!

 

[LMD84]

there were many things in this collection that i wanted but couldn't afford. like you guys i'm hoping to find some stuff at the cco when i go next month! i want a couple of the shadows and also a liner!

 

[Susanne]

I still love what I got from this collection!!

e/s Purple Shower looks AWESOME with e/s Blue Absinthe!
