COME PLAY WITH ME: Flower Inspiration...

 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,
kats xxx

  6. Ooooh 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).

    Oh 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

    1. 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?
