Practice makeup!

So I have this costume party to go to on Saturday night. It's Mad Science theme. I've been thinking for a few weeks of what to go as. I've bounced around SEVERAL ideas. The thing is, I have some really good ones, but it's difficult to bring them to life. So I thought I would put my makeup skills to work and be a female version of DR. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. I figured I should practice the makeup before then so here's what I did. 

 I used Sobe Botanicals foundation in light cool all over my face.

 For the left side I did very classic simple-ish makeup. Used Morgana Cryptoria's lipstick in Apple Plum, Sobe Botanicals duochrome blush in After All, Sobe botanicals Brunette brow powder in the eye crease, Avon black eye liner and black mascara.

I used Sobe Botanicals Raven eye brow powder as the shader and Kryolan cake liner in black for the deep creases.

What do you think???

I imagine the Saturday look to be better as I will be able to spend more time on it.

Teal and Golden Brown Makeup look with Morgana Cryptoria Murder Mystery Collection

These pictures were taken several hours after applying it. I did the look, took pictures then went to Lowe's for more house/yard supplies. The pictures didn't turn out so well so I redid them. I got compliments on my eye makeup while out, which I always appreciate. :-) My hair looks weird, was very windy and my laziness didn't feel like making it look more appealing. I just smoothed it down with my hands.

Smoothie from Monday.

 just the dry ingredients

all blended! not very pretty but it was really yummy! Sort of looked like a chocolate shake without the chocolate flavour...I pack so many different things in my smoothies that they just don't look very nice. Hee hee!
