So, my Snazaroo colours have arrived from eBay – Grass Green, Bright Green, White and Black (in case anyone wants a pint of Guinness painted on their cheek). I wasn’t able to get hold of any green glitter anywhere in Oban; seems everyone has the same idea, AND is more organised than I am.
And here I am, on reception in the hostel, practicing painting shamrocks on the back of my hand.
In other green makeup news, I used the ole Illamasqua sealing liquid on Chloe the other night, in a St Paddy’s take on the classic feline-flicked eye.
She commented that once it had set, it felt a bit tight and weird on her eyes. I haven’t had that problem using it on myself, but maybe I was laying it on her a bit thick.
Another cautionary tale; I started doing the flick using the Maybelline Eye Studio 24 Hour Colour Tattoo in black, but it didn’t really work out. As regular readers are aware, I am a huge fan of those lil pots of metallic colour perfection, but I can now say I think they’re best suited for a wash of colour, a smokey eye or as a primer on which to build powder colours. For precision work, I had trouble getting a clean and opaque line.
Yes, Colin does have leopard-print lips there. Just a few teasers for an upcoming post 😉 Right after this last photo was taken, Nothing Compares To You by Sinead O’Connor came on, which is Colin’s favourite song, and we had a huge and very emotional sing-along – so there’s the answer to yesterday’s caption competition riddle, for those following on Facebook.
Stay tuned, and I hope you don’t feel too green the day after your St Patrick’s Day celebrations! xX
