It's Late and I'm Fooling around with...Duo Chromes

Seems the new Vanity set-up I got today has inspired a lot of playing around with my make-up.  I watched a video on youtube that spoke of duo chromes and inspired me.  The swatches below are all placed over black eyeliner.  When you place a duo chrome shadow over a dark base (or black eyeliner) the "duo" color will show up.  Think "iridescent".

Some of my favorite duo chromes are:

MAC

Stars 'N' Rockets (iridescent pink and purple)

Gorgeous Gold (literally is a gorgeous gold with a teal/green duo chrome)

Vex (grey with pink duo chrome)

Smoke and Diamonds (Grey with green duo chrome--like a Japanese beetle I think)

Motif (Cream/yellowish with  pink duo chrome)

Beauty From the Earth (BFTE)

Whisper (White with light blue Duo Chrome)

Mermaid (Yellow with Green Duo Chrome) 

*Mermaid is very similar to MAC's Gorgeous Gold*

Kryolan

Pink Sunset (Pink with purpley duo chrome) 

*Pink Sunset is very similar to MAC's Stars 'N' Rockets*

Have fun with Duo chromes and experiment!

Christmas Eyes!

What's more Christmassy (and cheezy...and cliche) than red, gold and green eyes for Christmas?

I used Beauty from the Earth Shadows in Candy Apple, Honey and Raspberry and Urban Decay's 24/7 Liner in Covet. I am so corny haha.  Even my nails are Red and silver ;)
