    That is a whole lot of glitter! I am eager to see what you end up making with these in the future.

    Hi! i'm a new reader [just found you like 30 minutes ago, from Aromaleigh's blog...]
    and i'm "new" to this type of make-up application.

    i used to do some theater stuff - which is VERY different from every-day makeup, and is VERY different specifically from what you're doing; for personal non-theater makeup [WHEN i wore it] it was... well, you know the "pictorials" on the back of eyeshadow trios and quads [covergirl and almay are the ones that pop into my head] it's "lightest shade from lashline to brow; medium shade on lid, darkest shade in crease [and maybe on top of eyeliner], blend well, the goal is to be understated [read: hardly noticable] and subdued"

    well, after the last 3.5 years of HELL [loooooooooooong medical nightmare story, and i'm still at a constant leval 8 pain, unable to work, and mostly confined to the damned wheelchair] i decided "I'm 33 and *I* get to decide what my make-up is like!"

    and i've been developing my new "style" - similar, but NOT as cool as yours. and... despite the fact that you list your steps underneath, i'm not totally following...

    so, to sum up this INCREDIBLY long comment - i know that RIGHT NOW is super-busy for you, but later, when you DO have some time, do you think you could post a step-by-step YouTube tutorial? [i doubt i'd be the only one watching it! your makeup skillz are DIVINE!!!]

    specifically, that wine-and-red was awesome [that's how i FOUND aromaleigh to begin with! i desperately wanted RED eyeshadow and eyeliner. first place i found them was AL. HOOKED - and then she goes out of business. *sob*] but really, anything that goes through the steps of your "normal*" look would be great. REALLY great!

    [or you can tell me to go to hell, you don't have time or the inclination or whatever - you're a real person and this is Not Your Job; i know that! and if i made you mad or it feels like i'm impinging upon your personal space/time, i appologize and won't do it again]



    *normal, in this case, specifically means the majority of "looks" i have seen on this website. "normal" is a word with ZERO meaning outside of a given context.

    The purples look absolutely fantastic!
    Grape looks really lovely. It looks like there's a bit of blue in there, like sparkles. I may be crazy though.

    Gorgeous swatches - I love the red, gold and black shades but I reckon you could probably create fantastic looks with pretty much all of the colours. I always find loose pigments much messier to work with so I don't usually bother with them during the week cos I just dont have time to clean up after myself before work :)

    Ancient and Olivette look gorgeous! But to ditto what Katelyn said: what's the eighth glitter? It's GORGEOUS!
