It took nine palettes to do this look.

Once again, I wasn't originally planning to do anything last night, because I had gone to work and I was tired and whatnot, but I had finally, finally gotten the Makeup Revolution Golden Sugar 2 Rose Gold palette in the mail (Ulta literally takes forever), and I was so mesmerized by the pigmentation and radiance of it that I couldn't leave it alone; I had to do something. The palette is so useful for me, which is not something that I'm usually able to do with MUR's blush palettes. There are two, not one, but two, blushes that I can use, and a brilliant bronze color, and highlights that would look like they couldn't be used on my skintone, but when combined with the bronze color they look beautiful, see here:

These are the four highlight shades in the palette, which look extremely frosty by themselves...

And this is how they look when applied on top of the bronze color. See how amazing that is? You better make that palette work for you!

So, with this palette in my possession, I had to do something with it, which brings in this look here.

Pretty awesome, right? And extremely complex, hence the nine palettes used to make the recreation that you see here:

And a comparison shot!

Here, have a video.

It's not an exact replica of the original look, mainly because it was really hard to recreate some of the colors, and mama don't play with glitter (I'm too much of a mess as it is), but I think that it came out nice! Kind of like a Mardi Gras kind of look, very fun and kind of jest-like or whatever. I enjoyed it. So, here we go!
