Nothing much to report in the way of my eternal struggle with makeup. Oh, I almost got hit by a school bus, but that's not entirely relevant. The important thing is that I made it home (thank you God) to be able to play in some more makeup, namely some new ColourPop eyeshadows I got, and palettes that I just got the other day: the BH Cosmetics Foil Eyes and Missy Lynn palettes (with some features by Morphe and Ulta)! I actually didn't use much of the Missy Lynn palette this time because of the look that I was going for, which was this:

And here's my rendition of it!
And a closeup on the eyes:
And a comparison shot!
Also, here's a video for you, since I like doing that now.
Okay, let's talk about the elephant in the room here. The foundation is too light, I already know that. I knew that when I started to apply it, but the pizza man was coming and I didn't have time to have half of my face done when I went to answer the door and get my pizza. Honestly, I chalk this up to the color range of the foundation that I used, because this is the color that's supposed to match me, honestly, but it's still too light for my face, and the next one down is too dark. And to top it off, it didn't conceal the uneven areas of my face as well as my Matte + Poreless does, and I used the exact same concealer as I did last time; tsk, tsk, tsk. Anyway, enough griping; details!

I. FREAKING. LOVED. THIS.
This was so much fun, you guys. Anything with this much color, and that requires this many palettes and shadows is right up my alley, and I'm so surprised that it came out so well, to be honest. I thought the foiled shadows might not show up when I started, but all is well! I think I might do a look with just the Missy Lynn palette tomorrow for work; who knows. All I do know is that I'll see you then!
