Gypsy Eyes

"The music of the Gypsies belongs in the sphere of improvisation rather than in any other, without which it would have no power to exist."

Franz Liszt

A quote that seems only appropriate, when here I am improvising as I go along.  Creating color and blends, that coincide with beauty, art, culture and more.  The music in my movements creating the colors that I can bring to you.  

A stunning blend of earth tones to bring out the inner Gypsy in us all. Simple, understated, even over looked but stunning and mesmerizing at the same time. 

Pixies Gold - A warm gold with brown and orange 

Vanilla- A great base with a hint of yellow 

Gypsy- Brown with shimmer and a hint of gold

Hazelnut- a glittery light brown

The Tropics have arrived!

I want to share a color combo with you that is a great tropical look! The colors are easy to mix and match with others and can be worn for either day or night!  This is a great look for when you are on the town or even just because! I love how these colors blend so well. 
And if you can't always get away to that warm tropical get away, Tahoe is always good! Beautiful blue and teal waters just waiting for your toes!

First, I applied my Eye Primer to my entire eye lid.  Then I applied Dark Magic to the outer corner of my eye and under they eye(also referred to as below the waterline).  Next I added  Glimmer to the rest of my eye, starting in the inner corner and moved over 2/3 of my eyelid.  Finally I added  Coral Reef to the center my eye and blended into the inner and outer corners.  I always try to make sure I have the lightest color in the inner corner of my eye.  It lightens up your eye and makes the other colors pop. 
I added a small amount of mascara, but I am generally not a mascara person.  Instead of an eye liner, I used an angled tip brush to mix a drop of foiling serum and loose shadow together (in the lid of my shadow container) and created a paste. Using the angled brush, I ran it along my eye lashes on top and then just below my waterline. 

Dark Magic: A dark purple blue color with iridescent green shimmer

Coral Reef : A Teal Blue color that looks like the tropical waters of Hawaii

 Glimmer:  A light lime green color with lots of sparkle

Shadow look of the Day

I have been so busy with the polishes here that I forgot to share some of the other amazing products in the shop! So I decided to share a Shadow look of the day.

Today I want to share a color combo with you that is a beautiful blend of brown and cream. The colors are easy to mix and match with others and can be worn for either day or night!  This is a great look for when you are on the go. Three steps and I was ready for the day!  

First, I applied my Eye Primer to my entire eye lid.  Then I applied Gypsy in the outer corner and under the eye (also referred to as the waterline).  Finally I added  Mermaids Kiss to the inner corner of my eye and blended into the center.  At this point you can add mascara, but I am generally not a mascara person. 
Now for a less dramatic look you can always add more of the lighter color to the eye lid and lighten up the eyes, and save the darker look for the night out on the town! 

Eye Primer that goes over the lid
(smooth and easy to apply, does not separate) 

Gypsy - A nice medium brown color

Mermaids Kiss- a light gold color with
 a hint of iridescent green
