Up In Somke (Black/Gray)

It seems like its been a few days since i posted a decent look. You know, with the exception the the Primped for Prom post. Then again, depending on what your definition of decent is, that might not have been included. So let's talk about Monday! And how much it sucks! And lets talk about THIS LOOK on Kimmie Karma Love's blog that i did for a guest spot and forgot to notify anyone about! Haha, i'm lame. Anywhooooo! This was a little out of my comfort zone today as i don't typically use like blacks, grays, and so forth. But i have a few in my collection, and they are sad because they don't get used that often. So here is their 15 minutes of fame for now. Enjoyyy. OH! side note! This look was mildly inspired by my kitty....so i think some time this week i really want to do one that looks more like her with gray, black, and white. Because i love her. OH! and...HELLO NEW FOLLOWERS! WELCOME!

I began with a smudge of NXY jumbo eye pencil in Milk it make the pigments stick...I need other shades of NXY pencils....Any donations?!

With E.L.F.'s very messy Matte Eyeshadow in Charcoal, i found and defined my crease, after taping off the sides of my eyes for clean lines

On almost all of the lid, minus the inner corner, i used BFTE's Smoke

I then filled in the inner corner with Isis...this time i got the right color. I double checked.

Then i aggressively dusting my brow bone with Blue Monday (haha how appropriate)

Now, on the inner brow bone i went in with a good amount of Moonlight

At this time i attempted to make all the colors play well with each other...I didn't do that great of a job

On the lower lash line i used yet another BFTE, Dangerous

Then got my black gel liner for the water line

And applied some mascara

I wore this look with a peachy red, Lilac Dream by N.Y.C.
