Back to the Sea
Another marine look, to keep in with this week's (unintentional) sea theme :)... The main colour in this look is "Back to the Sea" by Archetype Cosmetics, a stunning teal/mint colour with a very complex gold interference. The shape I used in this look is a variation of this look, but this time, I decided to cut the crease only along the outer half of my eyes, instead of all the way past the inner corners. I then used Fyrinnae Sweet & Sour (matte medium dusky purple) and MAC Carbon in the crease and blended upwards, highlighting with MAC Vanilla. The lashes are by essence and have tiny glitter flecks on them - I would actually prefer them without the glitter (for once), but the shape fits my eye so perfectly that they are my favourites to wear!

this is soooo pretty! i love how that teal looks like foil on your lid!
Very pretty! I ordered a bunch of samples from Archetype last month and have yet to receive them- I emailed her and didn't get a reply. Is this typical for her?
this is a very difficult colour for me and many people i think. but you make it so easy and beautiful. sometimes i wonder what colours you can't wear???!!! you have the most grgeous eyes!
that looks sooo pretty.. i love it!
This is gorgeous, I love it!
great!! :)
@Jessica: Yes, she usually takes quite a qhile to ship out orders :(...
@jojoba: Anything yellow is not really my cup of tea ;)!
Thanks to all of you!!
This is great--I'm glad I discovered this blog. You have beautiful eyes, and very clever make-up designs!
This is absolutely beautiful! I got my Archetype order today and got to play around just a bit. What kind of brush do you use to apply it? I'm assuming you pack it on dry, but you seem to get really good pay-off with the color. I'm curious about your base, I can't find a way to order it here- and I don't speak German :( Any suggestions?
Your talent is beyond compare and your beauty unmatched!
Oh wow, thank you for all the nice words!!
@Jessica: It depends, usually I use a large brush with dense bristles to apply the main lid colour if I'm applying the pigments dry, and MAC #242 if I'm foiling them.
I don't think the base can be ordered over the net, as it's just a cheap drugstore brand AND it's LE as well I think :(... What base do you normally use? Have you tried MAC Paint Pots?
Right now I'm using Urban Decay Primer Potion, and I have used the MAC Paints (in the tube) but not the paint pots- I've actually been wanting to pick some up but I'm waiting for my Pro card to come.
Honestly, I've never really needed a primer before, I just started using them when I discovered that you really need it to get any punch out of mineral pigments- I end up foiling them most of the time anyway.
Thanks for the reply, BTW!
This is such a wonderful job that you have done. I simply love the look you created. I would have loved to be one of your subjects some day for the killing look that you give. :-)
