This is my entry...inspired by one of my favorite adult beverages!
My inspiration: The Grasshopper
But who thinks the word "Grasshopper" exquisitely beautiful? Um... maybe a starving bird or something...so I put my twist on it, and henceforth this look is called Creme De Menthe and Cocoa! SO SHALL IT BE DONE!First I applied my foundation, concealer, powder, and brows (don't want to bore you with the details!).
Then... EYES:
♥ UDPP
♥ Vanilla shade under the brow down to crease.
♥ Volcano by Nyx to crease.
♥ Spicy Bronze by Rimmel London to blend Volcano up and out.
♥ Sage by Pure Luxe Cosmetics to lid. It's a perfect shimmery mint color!
♥ Matte black shadow to outer V and crease to add depth and drama!
♥ Black shadow and sage used to line lower lid.
♥ Black eyeliner to upper lid and water line. Mascara.
♥ A giant pair of flirty lashes by Red Cherry in WSP.
Cheeks:
♥ The 2nd shade in (bottom row) on this versatile Coastal Scents Palette!
Lips:
♥ MUA Lip Boom in It's a Situation. It's a deep berry color that is rich and perfect for fall!
I hope you like it!
Ivy was really impressed!

Hi Holly! If you are going for wearable everyday looks, then you are using great colors! Taupe, mauve, browns are beautiful. But then if you are glamming up, anything goes! :-) I don't usually play by too many rules :-)

Have a great day!
