Kinda bombed today's MOTD.

I'll try to post a pic of the look I was trying to recreate. Kind of a fail. Products: VooDoo foundation, VooDoo HAC, YSL Touche Éclat,VooDoo setting powder, Nars blush in Love Joy, Nars cheekbone highlight in Albatross, blend of Mac and VooDoo eyeshadows, Sephora lashes. I covered my lid in black kohl to make the purple stand out and that may have caused me extra trouble. I don't know.

I know girl I had a mess on my hands. If I hadn't done my foundation first I would have taken it off and started over.

I think the black kohl just made the purple look darker.

I was trying to make the purple darker but the shades I tried to use above it and in my crease turned into a mess and of course, fell on top of my purple. It was a hot mess. I guess it could be worse but this one definitely isn't going on my Instagram! It was a learning lesson. I don't think I do well trying to copy looks exactly. I can take a look and imitate it in my own way, but trying to do the exact same thing just doesn't work for me.

Yeah I can't recreate looks the exact same way also. I usually just use the colors as inspiration.  lol.

It's not terrible, but the purple looks like blue to me, probably because of the kohl pencil. Your "hot mess" is like a good eye shadow day for me. If you want to see a hot mess, you should have seen the green disaster that I wound up with on my birthday. I struggle to wear greens, I keep getting new ones because I adore them and they always look too clownish on me. I thought I'd mastered it, this time doing a light green frosty shade on the lid and a matte green in the outer corner, but the two textures did not play well together and looked awful when I tried to blend. Then when I finally got that cleaned up to leave the house, about an hour into my birthday lunch I went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror and horror! The green matte shadow had just creased horrifically leaving a sort of green stain that was not attractive.

Oh no! I HATE makeup moments like that. I played with a little green recently. I put a soft green on the inner half of my lid and a medium brown on the outer V and blended in. I've also done the opposite, green in the outer corner and a neutral on the inner. With green I'm trying to start with small looks and graduate up to something more involved. That's a tough color. I love wearing green liner on my waterline though.

Yes, I stick mostly to wearing green liners or the occasional pop of green color. I will try mixing it with brown, that's a good idea. Maybe that will help. Definitely not going to use that wet n wild matte shadow in the crease again.  YIKES.

Sometimes I'll blend it under my eyes with a neutral look on top. It's a tricky color!

Lol thanks Erica! I think I was mostly frustrated with the process. I kept messing up and layering colors and trying to correct and it was just a mess.
