A Quick Creation | #1

So, I'm going to try and do one or two of these 'Quick Creation' posts every week, to try and get my work out there and show people what I can do. This weeks is one I rustled up yesterday while I had nothing to do. (there might end up being more than a couple per week as I get bored a lot) It was spur of the moment and I created the entire thing based around my new Lime Crime lipstick, 'Mint To Be'. 

To start with I just had on a base of Illamasqua Skin Base (shades 01 & 08 mixed 1:1) and then 'Mint To Be'. I added dimension to the lip using 'Serpentina', also Lime Crime, around the edge and blended in.

For the eyes I used various shades of blues and greens from a 120 palette bought from eBay for around £4.99, and 'Velocity' and Midori' from my Sugarpill Pro palette. And used a Stargazer Kohl pencil for the brows.

I used 2 pairs of lashes for this look. One pair, from a set of 10 from eBay for 99p (top lashes), and another pair from a halloween set I got about 2 years ago (bottom lashes).

So here you go! The finished look!

I'm so happy with how it turned out and I love the contrast of the colours against my hair. I enjoy doing these quick looks so much, and I hope you like looking at them! I'll try and post an older one at the end of the week before I go away so I don't feel like I'm neglecting my blog for the week.

Thanks for reading!
