Dior Chrome & YSL Midnight EOTD

I saw this e/s and immediately had to have it. Absolutely gorgeous. Used Lid: Dior Chrome High Impact Solo Eye Shadow Crease: YSL Midnight Quint - Dk Gray Browbone: YSL Midnight Quint - Highlight Color Upperliner: WnW Mega Liner Felt Tip Lower Lashline: YSL Midnight Quint - Black Waterline: HIP Chrome Liner in Silver Lining Mascara: BE Buxom

Yves Saint Laurent (YSL) Midnight Quint

This is so much more dramatic than what I would normally wear but I wanted to use all of the colors in one look and wanted to show how they played together. And I wanted to make sure the colors showed up and showed true to life. I used only this quint for this look except for the mascara and the upper liner (which is the cheapie WnW felt tip).

Stila Cloud, Puck, Starlight & Nude Lips

I never do a nude lip because I can never find one that doesn't make me look like I belong in a morgue. Finally found a combo. :) Used: UDPP Lid - Stila Cloud Crease - Stila Puck Browbone - Stila Starlight Liner - UD Underground & MUFE Champagne to highlight Mascara - Prestige My Biggest Lashes Brows - Anastasia Duo in Ash Blonde Lips - Revlon Smooth Nude w/ a bit of YSL GG #2 on top

YSL Golden Gloss - #2 Golden Praline & #3 Golden PInk

These are lovely. They are officially my favorite l/g now. :) The colors are a bit washed out in the photos, but not by much. I'm sure I could pile more on or use a base to get a more intense color out of them but I like them like this - I'm a big fan of easy.
