Before I washed off my makeup for the night, I thought I'd give another shot at my makeup enemy a.k.a. red eyeshadow, lol. Knowing I wasn't wearing this out, I didnt' hold back and here are the results: Me + red still = fail, but I haven't given up!

Sry for the squinty, sleepy eyes.

 Thanks to my wonderful big sis I finally got my hands on the Sleek Molten Metal palette. The palette contains 2 metallic cream eyeshadows in a gold and pewter color. Both are highly pigmented and reflect light beautifully. The only thing is once they're swatched you really can't tell the difference between the two shades.

So far I've only used these on the tops of my cheeks as a highlighter, and not as and eyeshadow. I do worry about these creasing on my eyes, since even most powder shadows tend to crease on my lids.
 As a highlighter, these both look gorgeous. You can keep layering them to create an even more intense glow, or just use one swipe to brighten the cheeks.
Pewter on the left and Gold on the Right.

These blend down to a gorgeous, soft highlight.
This was a quick taupe and gray look I did with some false lashes added to make it a bit more dramatic.

I'm not sure how I feel about this look. This was a combination I've never tried before and I think it came out kinda iffy.

So my latest celebrity makeup victim is Keri Hilson, lol. I really loved this look on her, and those long wispy lashes she has on. This look also didn't seem that hard to copy so I gave it a shot! I'm happy with the way it turned out, although I do wish I'd used a shinier clear gloss :(

 This was my first time trying to copy a celeb's makeup and I have to say it was a lot of fun! Of course I look nothing like her, and I didn't get this makeup look completely right, but still I think this is something I may attempt to do on a regular basis.

I think trying to imitate something and get it just right will help improve my makeup skills and hopefully I'll learn some new techniques in the process!

*Hardest lashes I've ever used. The spine is thick and didn't want to bend to fit my eye shape, plus they feel very heavy on the lids. To get them to stay put, I wound up applying lash glue to my skin and then holding these suckers at both ends with some tweezers and my fingers until the glue dried. Won't be using these again anytime soon :(

What celebs would you guys suggest I try next?
I don't know why I torture myself drooling over Sleek products when I know I'll have such a hard time getting my hands on them.
I'm still seriously lemming all the contour kits (thanks shahada, lol), the bad girl palette, a few blushes, the retractable kohl and now I can  add this lovely new metallic palette to my imaginary wishlist. *sigh*
Was having some fun with 2 of my favorite shades - Purple and Pink! I would never wear something this bold and colorful out, but I love playing in my makeup from time to time!

* I also decided to stick with my new liner technique of starting from the middle of my upper lid, instead of the inner corner. So far I think it works well with my eye shape.

This look started out as something completely bland and wearable, but I was bored by it so I added a ton of black to the outer corners, some dramatic falsies and really packed the gold on my lid.

After all that, I kinda hated the way the lips looked with the more dramatic eyes. But since I used a OCC liptar, my lips were stained a pinkish color for hours even though I tried to wipe it off and go with a more nude lippie. Oh well, here are the final results.
