FOTD: More Lazy Smokey Eyes

Someday I'll be a good makeup addict and do a true-blue smoky eye, with multiple shades of gray and very careful blending. But until I can work up that gumption, there's also multi-dimensional cream shadows!

I bought the MUFE Aqua Cream in shade #2 on a whim several months back, then left is on the side while I practiced easy-breezy-beautiful North Carolina beach makeup. Now that I'm back in the air conditioning and the stormy cloudy gentler Pennsylvania climate, I've decided to try some "darker" looks. I actually really love how this turned out!

Fair warning: my skin is very patchworked right now in terms of color, with some sections still in my usual N5 range and my shoulders darkened up to NC25. Not much I can do about it, unfortunately.

    Really pretty combo of luminous greys and peachy lips :)

      Thanks! Probably going to wear a slightly modified version whenever I need a "dark eye" look in the future. :)

    Your complexion looks airbrushed! How do you feel about SUQQU's Nuancing Loose Powder as a setting powder?

      Sorry for the late reply; I missed this comment in my inbox.

      I think the Suqqu is really beautiful. Very finely milled and not cakey at all; it gives my skin a great finish. It's not the best for oil control, so I'd keep a blot powder on hand, but by the same token, it sits beautifully on dry skin. Hope that helps!
