Darling Indie has chosen "Flower Inspiration" for the next theme in this fabulous and fun series, and I've chosen Fuchsia - hardly a surprise as they're such pretty, dainty little flowers, plus the combination of bold pink and purple are standout hues in my wardrobe and makeup kit. Mind you it was tough choosing which one of nature's treasures I would try and recreate, so much so that I'm inspired to have a go at a few more in the coming weeks...

I used essence white kajal as a base, added the brightest pink from the bhcosmetics Take Me To Brazil Palette, and then deepened it with the raspberry from the L.A. Colors Wildflowers palette. The purple is courtesy of the W7 Shades of Mauve palette..
I patted the deepest matte purple from the Take Me To Brazil palette into the crease, and lined the waterline with essence white kajal...
And here's my fuchsia'd face - lips are Shanghai Suzy Miss Georgina Pink Plum (massive thanks to Tried and Tested Blog for sending this to me ♥ - I'm in love!) topped with Chi Chi Valley Doll Lip Lacquer...
Cheeks are Revlon Photo Ready Cream Blush in Flushed, and the brightest pink from the BYS On the Brightside blush trio...
You'll find Indieana's magical Sun Flower look here. Aching to see what you other Come Play With Me'ers create in the next few weeks ♥
Take care of you,

I love fuchsias too! Magenta/pink/purple: lush! I also find it flattering. I wear these colours all the time. Love the Chi Chi lip too. Everything is a perfect match here! ♥
ReplyDeleteThanks treasure - isn't it a gorgeous combo? Mother Nature sure knows what she's doing ♥
DeleteI love what you have created here, Kat. Fucshias are so beautiful, and are so you! Bright, yet totally mesmerizing. I just love that vibrant pink and your lids, and well you can never go wrong matching it back with purple xx
ReplyDeleteDarling Indie, bless you for coming up with such a colourful theme - gosh I have so many "flower power" ideas running around in my head for the weeks ahead ♥
DeleteSuch a beautiful, vibrant look Kats! You're such a magician when it comes to meshing colours together and the lip colour looks gorgeous on you, so glad that you love it! xxx
ReplyDeleteHoney, it's just the most gorgeous lipstick - couldn't have been a better colour for me, I'm so grateful to you for sending it to me ♥
DeleteYou're so radiant and glowing Kats! I love this look, and you have made me want to go dig around in my collection and play with some fuchsia! x
ReplyDeleteOh please Monique, and post the pics on your blog - I think you and fuchsia would be absolutely gorgeous together ♥ Thanks for your lovely words hon xxx
DeleteThis is my first time commenting on your wonderful blog kat so I hope I did everything okay.
ReplyDeleteThis colour combination looks beautiful on you, its bright, pretty and cheerful, suits you perfectly!
Oh wow CBCBCBCBCBCBCBCBCBCBCB! Do you have any idea how THRILLED I am to see your name on here darling? You've made my weekend SO special hon ♥ And you've done everything just right, with such a loving comment too - bless you sweetie ♥♥♥
DeleteOoooh this is so pretty - what a striking flower and equally exceptional eye look! Mother nature is the greatest designer of all ;) I didn't know fuchsia was a flower LOL (just knew it as a colour).
ReplyDeleteOh the more you know! I decided to Google 'ugly flowers' and they're so creepy! You could probably draw Halloween inspiration from one. Glad to be here catching up on your creativity xx
Hey babe, I'm with you - in awe of nature's handiwork, fuchsia is one of the first flowers I memorised as a kiddywink, that and hydrangeas which we had in the garden. Gee is there such a thing as an ugly flower?
