Since the party I was going to was Blood Moon themed, I decided that I needed burgundy red eyeshadow and lips. I took Boticelli and blended the hell out of it through my crease, built it up along the lower lid and the outer corner of the eyes. I brightened the mobile lids with Blank Canvas. I used a tiny bit of Skeletina as a transition shade. I highlighted with Catshark. I can’t ever seem to go without glitter, so I added Stila Fairy Tale for more impact. I used a tiny bit of Saucebox Black Widow to deepen at the outer v. I lined the upper lash line with Tarte’s Burgundy liquid liner that was from one of the Christmas sets I purchased, and finished the lower water line with UD’s Space Dust.

I went quick and easy on the lips by lining and filling them in with Tarot pencil, then put a thin layer of Gemini on top. Gemini also looks great on a black pencil too.

I think this is the happiest I’ve been with my complexion in forever and this is probably my new go-to face routine. Smashbox Studio Skin in .1, when mixed with Prism FX (or Prism FX + Perfecting Skin Tint), seems to give me skin I can love. In that last photo you get a genuine smile from me because Nyx was making me laugh.

What do you think of my Lime Crime Venus XL Palette Look? What would you wear to a Lunar party?
