A few FOTDs

I know this is a nail blog, and whatnot but I've got a few Face of the Day photos to share, so don't hate me!



I love hair flowers!
I was trying to play with pink eyeshadows in a neutral, soft way, but they were a bit bright so I toned it down with shimmery, pink-brown in the crease on top of them to blend. Overall I like the look, and I love using Georgia as a highlight! I only wish Peaches wouldn't fade quickly on me. Also, this is the best my eyebrows have ever looked, hope I can maintain them like this!

I've wanted to try a blue and brown eye look for a long time, and finally had the guts to do it. I like the way it turned out (though I've been unable to recreate this look since then!)

I wanted something peachy and orange for this FOTD, and that's what I got. I love Urban Decay's Chopper eyeshadow, but it's very glittery and a bit too peachy-pink for my eyes, but I figured if that was the "theme" of the day, I could handle it. YDK is my go to most days, so it worked well in the crease and goes well with Chopper. But man, Vegas Volt is BRIGHT. And I should've exfoliated my lips beforehand.. It's been a long time since I've worn an opaque lipstick.

When I did this FOTD I was in the mood for Fall, and dark colors. I was wearing a plum colored blouse, and thought green would be a nice complement to it; I've also never worn green shadow before! I figured olive would be a good way to start. I only regret putting UD Half Baked on the inner corner, it made it look more yellow than I wanted. I also should've picked a more neutral blush, but I'd already done my blush before I decided on my eyes! I also adore Urban Decay Peroxide now - I doubted it at first, but it gives a nice "my lips but better" look.
