I don’t’ have a photo of where my inspiration comes from, but when I think of fall I pick the leaves falling from the trees. The orange, brown and green colours that all mix together is a very nice combination. It somehow makes me feel kind of warm as well.
Here is how I do colour combination, I don’t think I ever mentioned it ever on my blog that I actually swatch eyeshadows onto a white card to find the right combinations I want to wear on my eyes.
My swatches while picking out the colours for this look |
This look is indeed wearable and nothing outrageous or dramatic. I’m not a fan of orange I have to say and when I first applied the orange on my lids I was thinking it was going to be too bright. However in the end I think the colours worked out pretty well.

ReplyDeletethanks beatrice from dropping in. My dog is getting old so she sleeps alot nowadays but normally it is so hard to get a sleeping photo of her.
ReplyDeleteawww how cute is that dog! I love your makeup here, I like that you added the mint colour on your lower lash line, looks lovely!

the mint colour was added at the end because i thought the green would give it a brighter look... kind of like a pop of colour along with the orange and browns...

Your eyes look lovely!!
