Happy 2015 lovelies! Couldn't go past day one of the new year without posting my version of Hailey's Come Play With Me Theme - Underneath the Mistletoe, which was the perfect theme for December 2014, and one I meant to have a crack at long before Christmas, but never made it. I eventually got there yesterday, so here we go...
Yet again I used the Sleek Acid palette - the brightest neon green this time, however I wanted more of an emerald, so I patted it down over a base of Mirenesse Superlong Wear Mineral Face Colour in Denim Jewel (blue)...
And to transform the look from everyday green to something far more mistletoey, I dug out my Chi Chi glitter in Murder on the Dance Floor - I haven't used this for at least 12 months and it's still 100% viable! Love this stuff because the glitter bits are suspended in a clear gel, so I can get away with not necessarily applying it evenly. Of course, the trick with glitter is to let it dry completely before you do anything further - a little of it lifted off when I curled my lashes, but I just dabbed on a few drops more to fill in the gaps...
I blended a teeny bit of the Acid green along the lower lashline (you can see how different the hue is without the blue base on the inner corner), swiped some SleekV2 matte Ink into the crease, and added NYX Wonder Pencil in Light to cover my blotchy waterline...
And Indiana's gorgeous look is here...
Take care of you,
kats xxx
This is such a gorgeous look!

Thanks sweetheart - I'd forgotten how much I LOVE glitter ha ha!
DeleteOh, Kat, I love that green you created, very Christmasy, especially with the beautiful gold glitter. Festive, yet sensual, perfect for being under the mistletoe xx
ReplyDeleteIndie thank you darling lady ♥ - the glitter is actually green, but the camera isn't quite sure what to make of it lol. Can't believe it took me so long to join in the fun this time around - oh how I wish I could give up my day job ♥
DeleteI love the multi-tonal greens!
ReplyDeleteI'm curious about the NYX wonder pencil: you're always talking about Essence white kajal, why the different product here? just using it up? it looks like it's given a perfect, subtle coverage.
Neurotic hon - glad you like it! As for the NYX pencil, well it's (my) flesh coloured, and therefore gives a more natural look rather than a stark contrast, and with all the glitter going on, I went for something a bit more subdued lol ♥
DeleteLove the festive look Kat! Always so beautifully applied.
ReplyDeleteKerri my sweet, thanks hon - it was an unusual choice for New Year's Eve, but hey, I had to match my outfit right? Ha ha...
DeleteBeautiful as always Kat! Also wanted to pop by and wish you a happy 2015! Love how your blog has grown and can't wait for more! x
